Appearance/discussion of Academy units.

Mages (like druids) are very dangerous units, much more dangerous than regular ranged units. No matter how many you attack, the magic damage doesn't decrease significantly. Moreover, Academy mages shoot through units, which is very useful when fighting against an enemy army. Sometimes you can hit three or even four units at once (but this happens more often against AI, as a real player will take this into account and move their troops accordingly). Yes, I like the mage's dagger; it's not as good as the Lich's, but it's still cool.
