Expensive Mages Mod

[Huzurdaddi]

Crud I missed all of the mages which are made by magic sites. OOPS. I'll fix that. Oh and I missed the Philosopher.

And yes I agree that I would probably research as hard as I possibly could to get summoned mages of some type. But most of them take a little time to get to ( exception: Create Reverant ).

What I would probably really do in a game like this is go for sacred units. I guess I'll work on them next.

One side effect I forsee for this mod is that SC's will become even more dominant. Since mages are more expensive, players will be less likely to risk them in uncertain situations on the battlefield. This, in turn, means that mages will stay at home in thier labs just summoning, forging, and casting overland spells.

Perhaps, but I think this will be part of my series: "I love to nerf things just cuz people hate it when things are nerfed!"

Next up Sacred units get a cost hike of x2.
Followed by: bu-bye life drain
Followed by: hello enc 1 minimum on all units.
Followed by: bu-bye hoarding stratgies
Followed by: bu-bye battle field spells.

Actually of the bu-byes the one thing that really gets a bu-bye is life drain. As the FaerunTest game showed even if you pump up the cost of life drain weapons people still make them ( the blood point costs 80 points and people still make them like they are going out of style ). Everything else just gets bumped in cost.

Not exactly sure what the end result will be but I figure that mortal troops will be used more!
