Life span for mage wars
« on: May 26, 2013, 05:15:42 PM »
So do we know any details of the life span for Mage Wars?  What I mean is, do we already know of all the mages that are going to ever be released, or does Arcane Wonders have plans to keep making more mages as long as the game is popular.   

 

TL. DR
Will Mage Wars stop having new mages at some point and just have new cards/ Variants of the current mages?

Well, the Druid and Necromancer are due out later this year. I don't think anyone has come right out and said "more will follow" but I see no reason why they wouldn't keep making more mages as long as we keep playing the game.

There are going to at least be alternate versions of those 8 mages as time goes on and I would find it surprising if they didn't come out with any new archetypes after Necromancer and Druid.

I think you can assume that at the very least we will end up with two versions of 8 different mage Archetypes for a total of 16 character cards.

As long as it keeps selling Bryan will keep coming up with new mages. In fact I know of 4 that are not on that list. :P

so just looking at the list of mages, I noticed its an odd number.  Being that it seems mages are released in pairs we need 1 more mage on that list-

just as an example

druid/necro
illusionist/Paladin
Sorcerer / ?????

who is it!

I think this is better. I think it will be another dark magic user to be pair with a Paladin.

I wasnt really trying to guess, I was just showing the fact that we need to know 1 more mage!

I just hope that it doesnt end up with too many expansions.

30 different mages, 30 different conditions (stun, daze etc) and 30 different traits (regen, flying etc) is simply going be too overwhelming in the end.

Im not saying the current state is anywhere near that point.

I still think there is plenty of room to fill out into, but at some point we will hit saturation and .... then what?

Exactly that.

I now have base, fm v wl, tomes 1 and 2. I'll buy everything that comes out. Until the plethora kills the enjoyment. Will be a while yet I wager!

for some reason I feel like his language here is hinting  to the power of the next mage. Some type of confusion ability or mind twisting/ altering :p

Just watching the Origins demo on BGG.  In talking about the green and white spellbooks Brian mentions Druid, Shaman and Enchantress.  Druids on the schedule,  Shaman and Enchantress could be your missing one (+1?).  Shaman might be a bit close to the beastmaster through, depending how they conceptualise it. 

so just looking at the list of mages, I noticed its an odd number.  Being that it seems mages are released in pairs we need 1 more mage on that list-

just as an example

druid/necro
illusionist/Paladin
Sorcerer / ?????
