Personally? The Circle Master. 2B2D for _100g_. That's insane. Also consider that the site (Black Tower) gives you, what, 2 death gems in income, and that gets you into both Death and Blood in a big way. But honestly, back in Dom2 when I did a price comparison on mages, Circle Masters were _by far_ the cheapest mages for their effect in the game. With the magic paths 'tightening up' in Dom3 (and making Blood harder to get), they're most likely even better.

Wizards indeed. Lots of magic paths, and incredible research. And you get that Wizard Knight.

SPARTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Re: Who is your favorite indy mage?
 

Anyone who has paths my nation doesn't have. It's really variable.

The Garnet amazons are enough to bootstrap any nation into blood. Anyone with good randoms is great.

If my nation lacks nature, I'll often put some on the pretender so he can make thistle maces and use the crummy little shamans to start searching.

Re: Who is your favorite indy mage?
 

All like said Thejeff.
Ah, one difference : never have I seen an indep mage with a blood pick on it ( apart from radom ones ) so when I want blood, I take it on my pretender.

Re: Who is your favorite indy mage?
 

The only indy mages with blood are Conjurer, Circle Master (Black Tower), Garnet Amazons, Sorcerer (Ebony Tower) and Bloodhenge Druid.

Re: Who is your favorite indy mage?
 

Something that is amusing is that in one game (EA Vanheim) I had all of those in addition to my national Blood mages.

Quite a sight to see. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Who is your favorite indy mage?
 

Here's the indy mages who only have a random chance to get blood:

Jaguar Tribe Priests: 1 in 40.

Eludian Moon Mages: 1 in 4.

Lore Masters: about 3 in 8.

vfb????? You're back???

Welcome back, man!!!!!!

Re: Who is your favorite indy mage?
 

Eludian Moon Mages are my current fav. Blood random is nice and they can spam Vengenge of the Dead almost out of the box with Mind Hunt available via a single Astral Booster.
