User Commentary
The most likely reason Murdoch is banned by default is because he is attack-oriented in contrast to Factory being considered a balanced faction. Otherwise, his specialty would make the Halflings and the Gunslingers overpowered.
Murdoch is a sub-optimal choice for a starting hero for the same reasons Orrin isn't a preferred choice of a starting hero. Heroes with specialties in level 1 and 2 creatures (such as Henrietta or Sam) are preferable due to having a better starting army, facilitating the use of a single powerstack. However, at level 7, with Expert Archery, Murdoch's stack of halflings begins to outperform Henrietta's starting powerstack.
