At the beginning, just staying alive is most important; otherwise you go 
through a lot more characters.  And yes, I have brought horses into the castle,
which allowed me to evade the initial guards, but without diagonal movement,
you will find it very difficult to evade the dragons, if at all (the clerics
came in handy then).  It's not necessary to enter the castle with a magician-
heavy party (I've done it with different parties) but it helps.

Not quite.  In Exodus' castle those characters that depend on weapons
proficiency will be much less valuable than those that depend on spell-casting.
