Re: What\'s the best 100 gold National mage?
daughters of Avalon rock - equipped with a thistle mace she can cast pretty much most battlefield nature spells out there, including the really important ones: mass protection, relief, charm, poison cloud. At the same time at 80 gold she is much more expendable than the 230 gold crone, so it's not the end of the world if you lose a few. She's a cheap researcher, and later on when you discover sages or something better she can be sent out with your armies to cast support spells while the crones are doing the really important stuff.
The Bard is pretty good too, but his more limited magic does mean that he isn't as useful when it comes to casting spells. However, as has been mentioned, he's got good precision, and is a great spy, and is useful in battle as a standard, so he's got a lot of non-mage type things going for him.
I don't know that either of the above are 'the best 100 gold mage' but they are for sure both really useful in context of their nation.
