Default Re: Is magic worth it?!?

If you are playing small maps, weak independents, many opponents, then you are correct. In those cases, magic is not as likely to be a big factor in winning the game.

But consider where you are on a scale between the smallest option of those, and the largest. There are game settings where magic becomes a major factor. This is also true of resources, or gold, or dominion strength, rainbow gods, SC's, or blessings. In some game settings they are important factors, and in others they are not so much.

On a large map, with half the opponents, and hard independents, I think you would find that magic becomes very important to winning the game. And more important on mid to late game combats.
