General Discussion / Re: MW Battlegrounds What We Know So Far

Has the expansion/product release order been confirmed anywhere recently?  From a cursory browsing of the forums, it seems that both Academy and Battlegrounds expansions were scheduled for 2015 Q1 at one point or another, and Paladin vs Siren was to follow both of those (?).  Are Academy and Battlegrounds being combined into one expansion with several alternate play modes?  Or are they still separate products?  Has Academy been shelved?  Right now it looks like:

- Mage Wars: Arena (aka Core Set, 4th ed) -> March/April 2015
- Mage Wars: Battlegrounds and/or Mage Wars: Academy -> sometime thereafter
- Mage Wars: Paladin vs. Siren -> sometime in the more distant future...

Was browsing around and just found the artwork for a male Forcemaster... flying, no less. Could be very cool if he had Flying as an ability, or even a new equipment or enchantment (with Magebind) that grants flying. Anyway, I'll still cross my fingers that the next Spell Tome expansion following PvS will be (female) Wizard vs (male) Forcemaster. Maybe call it "Mind Over Matter" or something...

My main request is for it being available on phones (particularly, android ones).

Ditto, but iPhone.  Especially if it has a built-in spell book builder, as the one online doesn't work well with my iPhone (zooming issues, can't save or load, etc).

The female Wizard is a Wizard. A Sorcerer would be a new Mage entirely.

Has there been any word on when she (Wizard) might show up?  "Spell Tome" expansion following Paladin vs. Siren perhaps?

The Sorceror that was mentioned in a podcast will have arcane and dark training

Is the female Wizard a "Sorcerer" or that something different?  The art above has a (living) owl (familiar?) on her shoulder, and nothing  in the image to suggest Dark. Similarly, the cards that depict her are all water or air school, with no suggestion of Dark.

I was recently counting the mages from the different schools and noticed a few things.  The most obvious is that 3 of the 4 core set mages have an alternate of the complementary gender appearing in an expansion, with a female Wizard noticeably absent.  Also noticeable is that the schools haven't been equally featured.  So far, there are 3 Nature (2 Beastmasters and a Druid), 3 Dark (2 Warlocks and a Necromancer), 2 War (2 Warlords), 2 Holy (2 Priests), 1 Mind (Forcemaster) and 1 Arcane (Wizard).  If you look at the Elemental schools (ignoring the Wizard since he can be any of these), there are currently 2 Fire (Warlocks), 2 Earth (Warlords), 1 Water (Druid, but low level only) and no Air (although the Wizard's recommended starter book is Air). 

If we assume the Siren will be Mind/Water and the Paladin will be Holy/War (? - could it be the first to be trained in 2 non-element schools?), then we would have 3 Nature, 3 Holy, 3 War, 3 Dark, 2 Mind and still just 1 Arcane.  The elements would be mostly evened up, with 2 Fire, 2 Earth, 2 Water (although still only 1 that goes beyond low-level spells), but still no Air.

In order to even things up, it seems to me that the most obvious expansion after Paladin/Siren would be (1) an alternate female Wizard who specializes in Air and/or Water (with a preference for ice magic), and (2) an alternate male Forcemaster.  The former would finally give us a second Wizard option, although it might be hard to balance without making the existing Wizard even more powerful (e.g. strong water/ice and air/wind spells); the latter would give the Forcemaster some help (as was done for the Warlord), since she has become one of the harder mages to win with.

Alt Wizard evidence: See recent promos including Windstorm, Gale Force Ring, Rain Cloud, Acid Blast, Staff of Storms, Lightning Strike, Wall of Poison Gas, Lightning Beetle, Leviathan Scale Armor, Storm Drake Hide.  Some of these feature art with a white-haired female wizard (see Acid Blast and Windstorm), also shown here:
Of course, several of these promos, especially the Water spells, might be included in the Paladin/Siren expansion.  Further evidence includes the Frost and Defrost keywords in print but without a purpose (assuming they aren't Siren-y), and I'm sure I'm not the only person who would like to see that rectified. And like others, I'd love to see some ice-related terrain.

Forcemaster evidence: Not so much, aside from the Forcemaster being in need of help and currently alone in her play style (aggressive and largely creatureless).  There's the Wall of Force promo, but not much else.  More mind spells would certainly be welcome, especially more illusion-like creatures, more Mind conjurations that help deal with the board state (analogous to Harshforge Monolith, etc), maybe a new spawnpoint/familiar or two (e.g. an analogue to a Battle Forge or Wizard's Tower for Mind mages), new equipment (Force Armor?), etc.
