Hey Dan, I do have v1.31 installed (at least that's what it says on the game screen) and normally you can't pick higher level spells except if you pick all 11 in one school. If you pick all 11 then you start with all of the common spells and it let's you pick a few higher level ones.
As for the longbowmen I seem to have games were I don't have time to build up to very advanced armies and I've found having a horde of 8 longbowmen to be just amazing. Especially if you stick with them and they gain experience. All units only have a base of 10% to hit from a distance so the elvish +1 to hit effectively doubles the longbowmen's abilities. Also I like that they have 8 ammo instead of the only 4 that priests have. I think that 8 longbowmen could kill 8 calvary or maybe even 8 lords if you could cast something to slow them down.
Beserkers huh? I haven't really used them before.
Hammerhands are 8 -attack 4- defense 4 hearts (regular)
Beserkers are 7 -attack 3- defense 3 hearts (regular) BUT they have 3 Thrown.
Hmmm they are pretty close.... I think that one on one the hammerhand would win because of his extra hit point but actually Beserkers are only 120 to build while hammerhands are 160. So yea I think you're right that all around the Beserker is a better unit. Add to that the fact that the
-Thrown attack will kill a few guys before they can counter
-Thrown attack can attack flying units
-Dwarfs are available only on Myyor
and I can see what you mean.
Anyway thanks for posting it was interesting.

PS droma and others what's up with Chaos channels? When I get the "+2 defense" bonus I find that in some battles this bonus is as much at +5 defense!!!!!!
I'm trying to play the game without exploiting it and this seems like an exploit
