In HttT, you can recruit both Elvish Shamans and Mages. The base versions of those units perform very different functions, so it's not meaningful to compare them directly.

The Easy Answer to Wesnoth is the Elvish Sylph. If the Elvish Sylph wasn't so fun, it would be unbalanced. It is only unbalanced the way that eating an ice cream sundae is an unbalanced meal....
