[CW] Too many wizards???

In a message in another thread,
someone made a comment that we should not have
too many mages/wizards in our armies.

Unfortunately, in the "army" (actually, population)
that I'm building, I've already got a dozen or so wizards,
most of them "bad guys", and I'm in the process of making
a few more.

Also, I've got several of the Lego dragons,
in addition to some "dragon younglings" [1]
as the aerial force for my army.

The single largest "uniform" contingent that I've got
is about 12 to 16 or so Dragon Master soldiers
(a year or so ago, I hit a Kaybee Toys here in the mall
when they had all their remaining stock of a DM polybag set
on clearance sale...).

I have 30, 40, MAYBE as many as 50 or so soldiers total,
no more than a half-dozen or so of any one "type"
(except for the DM soldier mentioned above).

Thus, as I see it, if I want to build an army worthy of
(in-character) respect, I'm stuck with using the wizards
and dragons as the main source of strength for my army.

Comments?  Feedback?  (But, please, no flames... ;-)

Thanks,
Franklin

(...) I see nothing wrong with having lots of wizards. I've got a pretty good number myself, around 12. I think it is just a matter of personal preference. (...) As do I. I think I am up to about a dozen of them, also. I'm considering having an (...) (25 years ago, 9-Feb-00, to lugnet.castle)
