hugorune2: One of the slightly controversial things in the first game (which I know is different developer, different engine, different era of gaming, all those things) is that if you had too much of your army compromised of one type of force, the enemy would gain bonus gold and XP when buying troops. That was arguably necessary because some types of units were overpowered against almost everything.

It seems to me in FG2 that a combined arms strategy is going to be quite effective, I'm just hoping the players can work this out on their own without any artificial penalties for specialising.
