Good on you.  That is a place where I did see Mage Wars, even if it was in German.  I hope you got a lot of people enthusiastic for it

In addition to this, how many of you mage wars players visited Essen this year?  From any country?  Heck, I visited and I am from New Zealand.

I do understand and appreciate that they are a small company of a few people.  There are a number of small american and canadian game designers that also appear.  Granted they would not be running a major site, and I do not think that Arcane Wonders would run a huge stand such as Pegasus.

But.

They could also work in conjunction with Pegasus, who are admittedly mostly German, or a more modest stand involving stands and helpers.  Note that there are a big number of gamers who want the original English set.  This includes the Belgians, Dutch, some Germans, some Polish and all of the English, scottish, irish and expats of course.

My point is that there are resources, people and interest who are willing to help. 

That will not remain forever and next year may be the last chance to exploit  this resource.

Following the hype in America for Origins and Gencon there were a number of reactions from people hoping that Arcane Wonders would show a presence at Essen this year.   

Sadly that was not directly so, this was also given in some of the reactions that they were not planning to. 

Nevertheless, Mage Wars was represented by their distributor in the form of Pegusus, who had an enormous stand in Hall 3 demoing a number of games including Mage Wars but only in German.

This is where it stopped though and seems a great shame that the momentum for this still reasonably fresh game is not being perpetuated in Europe.  It seems to me that next year will be Arcane Wonders last chance before they miss the boat on the European and world markets by representing themselves in Essen.

It would be a shame if this great game became a bastion of the American continent and but a sideshow or missed opportunity for the rest of the world.  It seems to me that the Ambassador programme is a great base to start a presence here in Europe at Essen 2015.  Perhaps if just one of the crew appeared it would help with the organisation and experience of the great American conventions to push Mage Wars not just for America but for the rest of the world.

Before the rest of the world forgets it and moves onto the multitude of other games that focus on everybody.

Sorry I missed you.  I am helping at another stand, (not for mage Wars)  if anyone is around,  2E131, if anyone wants to come along for a chat.

Why not go for thunder rift falcons as a pet.  More difficult for the opponent to deal with as it flies

Strategy and Tactics / Re: On mana crystal effects and efficiency
« on: October 03, 2014, 06:58:58 AM »
Really it is not the mana that is the point but the strategy of your mage.  Wizard has a lot of spells to increase their mana and reduce the mana or channeling of the other.  Note that Mana flowers or crystals will also be more expensive for some to add into their books. 

Beastmaster will swarm, perhaps with his lair or not
Warlock will rush possibly, (or not)

I think Rick from Let's Level Up was trying to do some coverage of it but I haven't heard any updates about it. I'm not sure if it was going to be throughout the tournament or just the finals, or what.

I believe Rick will report on the Tourniment on Zaterday. Further it seems to be troll the internet for bits.  Check out photos on Mage Wars FB page fot Toni Drling as Priestess
