So far I am not very advanced with my little Warband but I agree that the undead are generally a bit easier than the hint would suggest whilst Goblins tend to be harder. As for the undead they are quite easy (the lack of missile weapons helps) just a bit irratting when you have all but one dead (or should that be redead?) then another half a dozen pop up. Balance is always a problem in games. I would imagine that the devs want to get the mechanics sorted then they can look at balance for all the factions.
