Just wondering.

I saw in one of the games in the Chicago convention Friday to Sunday that there is some free game for Magewars. I am wondering if this is being done by a vendor or just by a fan?

The convention has the normal comics + movies crowd but they have some gaming. The convention is in McCormick Center (biggest convention center in Chicago).

I'll see if I bring some of my spell books tomorrow if anybody shows up for some gaming or I can just play and demo it for others to see (I'll just beat my co-worker) with my own spell book (knowing that he would not know how to play it). I demoed the game to at least 2 co-workers and at least one bought his own core set. The other one has not bought yet because he probably just need to pick one up in a store if he sees one. He may pick up one tomorrow if there is a vendor over there that sells Magewars.

Not sure if Arcane Wonders will show up in Chicago convention this weekend.

Anyway, if I do not see Arcane Wonders this weekend, I'll just shoot to see them in Gencon.

In another thread I learned that you cannot Mind Control Thorg because he is "Warlord only".

Would that also hold true for Pet and Blood Reaper? Can they be mind controlled or because they are inherent for Warlock and Beastmaster - you can't, right?

Can somebody shine in on this?

Just curious about flying rules:

 if a flying creature always can see above a wall (so technically they are above the wall), can you push (Force push) them to a wall or push them through a wall with a passive attack trait? My opponent may argue that they are way above the wall..

Just preparing for a battle with flying creatures. I am playing Forcemaster where I have tons of push spells. I just want to be ready with this rule.

Let (0,0) be your starting zone and think of the 2nd quadrant as the coordinates.

Turn 1: Mana 19

Quick Cast: Tower on (0,1) = 4 mana
Move to (-1,0) quick cast barracks on (-1,0) = 12 mana

Barracks should have 2 mana (1 from tower and 1 from itself)

Turn 2: Mana 12

Quick Cast: Mana Crystal (0,0) = 5 mana (channeling = 10)
Move to (-1,1) and quick cast Tower on (-2, 1) = 4 mana

Barracks should have 3 + 2 = 5

Turn 3: Mana 13

Deployment (5 mana + 10 from mage) = Sniper
Move back to (-1,0) and save the 3 remaining mana or cast an enchantment face down somewhere (like Hawkeye to Sniper).

Turn 4: 13 mana + Barrack 3 mana

Depending where the opponent mage is - he may get worried that the Sniper is out to be too aggressive on Turn 4. If the opponent mage backs up. Send your Sniper to the (0,1) tower.

One other technique I see that is viable is at Turn 4, depending if you opponent mage is aggressive or not you may call on the Iron Golem to be moved into the Tower where your Sniper is. Or you may scare your opponent if they are coming close. If they are still building then you may call a Goblin range or fling to go to your other tower (-2, 1). The point here is that you have two towers at a zone apart so wherever your opponent may come they will get sniped by at least 4 dice unless you call for Volley +1 range.  If they come too close to your starting area the sniper will take care of them.

This is pretty much a good startup because each turn after this, you can call on major help or support with at least 13 mana to play with for soldiers.

What do you think?

What is really funny is if your opponent comes too close in range of your two towers, you can technically wall him in stone or make him get force into your barracks wherein you may have multiple enchantment and upgrades.

I somehow cannot find this anywhere.

What is the level of the Mage when you push him through a wall of thorns?

How many attacks does the wall get (n-1)?

Thanks in advance.
