Disagree entirely. Quickness in Dom2 was too good

I agree with JaydedOne also.

You didn't see the screenshot of the Warrior Smith, did you? 170g for 2.5 points of magic!

Look at the combat stats. 12 HP. 10 Armor. 15 Morale. 15 MR. That's pretty tough for a recruitable mages. Plus he's a priest.

15 hp, 13 att and 13 def before old age, and a magical sword with pretty good stats but no actual powers. Unfortunately, they're still too old and weak and expensive to use as thugs. Others of the 200 gp barbarian mages occassionally suffer from much less old age; they could be thugs. Spirit Masters survive stray arrows better, but 200 gp would still be a streep price to pay for such a mage. IMHO, it works out in Late Age with more gold around and thanks to the versatility of the three mages.

Thanks for the awesome blood spell!

Can you show an age-reducing spell from a school other than blood?

Stray arrow are VERY important to mages. Even in Dom2 they're the main early cause of mortality in battlemages and now with shortened casting ranges, larger armies, and weakened storms, it's going to be even worse. That change will at least double his life expectancy clearing indies. Even against player mage armies it helps since a nontrivial amount of spells do basic damage. And against the other spells they have a very nice MR.

Would love to see some more marverni screenies if possible.
Preferably some nationals or even national summons
I just read about this nation and know NOTHING about them
Will there be 3 eras for them ?

DOES THIS SCARE YOU?
Never mind. Getting a game this large takes some real tweaking of map and server settings. Its possible, but not something that is on the menu
Here are some images from a game called Massive



And if you are still wondering about AIs building Castles...

They look like Gauls, in fact they *are* Gauls ! Hairy warriors, druids ...
But sadly they have absolutely no national summons

If it's the armor and hp I'm paying for, you can keep it. Heck I'd rather take 9 p and zero armor of the old for a price cut. Compared to the Argatha Necros I saw earlier, these guys are seriously lame in the battlemage department. I guess their only hope is what? Nether darts?
