Warrior, Paladin, Mage (info, strategy, hints, etc.)

Tough decision. I like the Warrior actually (gets Rage very quickly) but the Mage is cool too. And the Paladin looks like it might be okay as well (see the thread on this for some reasons why).

Oh well, looks like I will have to play the game 3 times.

One thing I Noticed is that the skill tree differs slightly by the class you play. Did anyone else notice this? Btw I think I'll probably go with mage but maybe paladin. Not warrior.

I think each class has 2 unique skills in their privileged tree.

You are absolutely right.
Warrior: "Iron Fist" and "Anger"
Paladin: "Holy anger" and "Rune stone"
Mage: "Higher Magic" and "Alchemy"

Well when i do finally get my hands on the game i'm going to play a paladin, while the other two classes are fun as well, i really want to play through the first time as a paladin.

I think I'll play Warrior.
In HOMM, warriors were less interesting to play than mages, because they had just a stronger army.
The mages had more diversity in their fight because of their many spells.
In KB, Warriors seem to had their own specificities that add variety in their fights, thanks to the skill tree and the rage spells.

I'n thinking Mage myself. If nothing else, his bonus skills seems to give him the most dramatic advantage compared to the others... I mean, Higher Magic gives 2 spells per turn. It practically doubles his firepower.

I do worry about the lack of Rage buildup with the mage though. Even with mostly ranged units, in most fights in the demo my units barely managed to hit once before the enemy died. I makes for very little rage, I am worried that I won't get to see all the rage skills as a mage. The rage experience skill will propably have to be maxed ASAP. Perhaps I'd even have to use Order magic instead of Chaos to make the battles last longer... but where is the fun in that?

Still, I'd say the mage is worth it just for the fact that he seems to have the fastest gameplay of the tree. In the demo I finished most battles with him in half the time.
