If the limit on the number of mages you recruit per turn is anything other than your available gold, then you haven't built enough forts.

Except for the nations with the most powerful recruitable sacred troops, Dominions 3 endgame in MP is dominated by summoned troops backed up by massive number of mages, by thugs, by super-combatants, and by raiding.

Note that I said in MP. The AI is so poor that you can obtain victory on any difficulty level in SP using only national recruitable troops and a few mages, but that doesn't cut it against actual opposition.

I thought building forts in every province was a bad idea because it would screw up resource collection?
