How do people feel about the Guardian retort?
On top difficulties I would guess it just does not fit at all, you can not sit and defend.
It gives population growth, which is obviously nice. More bigger cities, that's a great boost to the economy.
The defense boost help against both raiders and other Wizards. It is significant enough to allow to defend against most early raiders with just a swordsman. It is worth noting that chaos and death wizards can "destroy" your cities without literally destroying.
Is it ever worth the two picks for a human player? Can something like Guardian+Runemaster+8Sorcery turtling be successful on higher difficulties?
