The Archmage still has room for improvement! What are his goals? He won't let us down.

The Battle Mage is better because you can become one right at the beginning of the game! :D
And you still have to level up the Archmage! :)
(Offer: for every mage, there will be a corresponding Barbarian (Battle Mage in this case! :D ) :D :cool:)

You don't necessarily have to immediately level up an Arcomage. For some reason, this is a common misconception. First, level up, for example, a Sorceress (i.e., for Haven, also level up Nature), and then add Death. You'll get a powerful combination. And it's not that difficult. Especially in campaigns!

Yes, but again, an Archmage doesn't have good defenses, so he's not very effective without an army! :) But when there's a battle, you don't have to be afraid of arrows, magic, or swords! :D :cool:

Жизнь нужно прожить так, чтобы Боги в восторге предложили еще одну...
P.S. может мне и предложили, просто я не помню :smile44:

If the hero is already an archmage (even if one of the magic skills isn't fully developed), they don't really need strong defense. For example, if they have Chaos magic, Inferno (or Fireball) will eliminate all dangerous units. Even if we're talking specifically about Haven, there are still plenty of options. I won't go into detail about hypnosis and forgetfulness, etc., but I will talk about illusions. They will be the archmage's defense.

It takes too long to level up! :D But why? :confused:
+20% to magic damage? :D A battle mage gives the same bonus! :D And then you can level up other skills, like archery, or something else! :D :cool:

No, it's not about that at all. You're not getting the point (as they say nowadays) :) These +20% are really insignificant. The whole point is that you have several effective spells for each situation. Each spell lacks something. For example, Haven lacks protective spells or blessings of Life, and Nature and Chaos lack spells that remove enchantments, etc.

But again, you can’t do all of that in one turn: apply protection to everyone, bless them, curse your enemies, and cast Split a couple of times! :D :cool:

In a single turn, even a powerful combat mage won’t be able to defeat everyone… Even though he has a combat spell. But you can bless everyone in one turn, heal them too, if you have Haven, you can speed up everyone, and so on. Well, you understand, you could keep writing about this for a long time…

Yes! :) But not in a single turn! And a combat mage can at least cast a decent spell, even at a low level! :D :cool:

The Archmage will cast an even more powerful bolt... But it's not just about the combat spells, it's about the combinations!

Yes, but not at, say, level 5! :D And what if you want to level up your Archmage, but you're not allowed to when choosing! :D
What's the point of the +20% bonus that Archmagic gives if you don't use combat spells?! :D :cool:

Archmage is a worthy choice for a hero class (from what's available). Although the options aren't very good.
Personally, I would choose not based on the bonuses, but just for the sake of interest. Haven + Sylvan, Haven + Dungeon.

Yes, but not, say, at level 5! And also, when you have an Archmage, and you want to, let's say, upgrade something, but you're not allowed to when making your choice!

Zdob, sorry, but I can't quite picture an Archmage at level 5. Probably because I don't need an Archmage like that myself! An Archmage is a cool character, at least from level 8-10. At level 5, a mage can still be, let's say, a spellcaster, an illusionist, a wizard, etc.
And also... I'm not forbidding the use of combat spells. I just think that when you can combine spells (and preferably from different schools of magic), that's primarily a plus for you, you improve and develop in the game, and you develop tactics. This is better than just blasting with a bolt or lightning.

I play as an Archmage for fun. It's 100 times more interesting to play as one. But the bonus is also a nice addition :) And the options are very good.
