I love it so far, especially at only $5.00 per weekly turn.

In the Wilds at least there are tons of hamlets and villages, some with
no owner, some with relatively puny armies.

I had a party with 1 troll fighter, 1 human deceiver and 2 mages clean
out a den with 3 toughness-1 monsters.  The fighter & deceiver were set
to charge, the fighter had a 2-handed weapon.  The deceiver received
10% injuries. Seems like my non-fighters are _roughly_ comparable to
toughness-1 creatures.

If I were making up my party again I'd make a _lot_ more low level
scrubs so they could just run around and read markers.
