Archmage Expansion

[Laddinfance]

Yes, Bryan was talking about the "Sorcerer". The Sorcerer is a ways off yet, but it's a mage who's flavor I'm really looking forward to. Summoning elemental creatures, possibly Jinn has me all kinds of excited. However, gotta stick to the present  .

Djinns... Nice

Indeed, though my personal goal is to have a mage that summons terracotta soldiers. But that's even farther off.

But if someone played the [mwcard=MWSTX2FFC03]Bloodcrag Minotaur[/mwcard] against your Terracotta Army you would figuratively have a bull in a China Shop

I think it would be literally not figuratively.......

Well... there would be no shop

But a bull in a china shop doesn't usually knock anything over...

That mage sounds like a cross between a Sympath, a warlord and a Necromancer. Not sure if it would even work.

[Laddinfance]

Well, it is just something I would like to do, not something on our docket so to speak. We have plenty of Mages to get to first.

I want a Dark Holy mage (Probably not ever going to happen)

or a Dark Nature mage.

Dark/Nature could be fun, with a whole corrupt vegetation thing going on, and disease and decay all over the place.

That gives me an idea for a great April Fools mage: the lawyer.  He murders all of his foes.... financially. 

*enemy mage summons a Bloodcrag Minotaur*  "Not so fast!"  *Lawyer activates the Custody Battle card*  The Minotaur is banished for 18 turns! 

*enemy mage casts Barracks*  "I don't think so!"  *Lawyer casts Eviction Notice*  Barracks is re-acquired by the bank! 

The Lawyer: so overpowered that he can fight up to 4 Archmages simultaneously.  Get yours on March 28, 2015!

Fungus Mage?  Please yes.  I want to build a mushroom fortress (defended by mushroom people, of course).

That sounds cool. You can get to that right after I get my Sharktopus.

I'm not sure how they'd differentiate between Necromancer poison/disease and fungal disease. Maybe the Necro spreads diseases by virus while this other mage spreads diseases through living fungal parasites?


Also there is already a thread on the subject of joke expansions:

I don't think of Dark/Nature as a joke and was just cheeckly throwing in some common tropes though....

Well, maybe instead of the diseases directly hurting enemy creatures, fungal diseases allow the D/N mage to summon more troops (for every point of damage the enemy creature takes, 1 very small friendly creature is spawned in that zone), change the terrain (if a creature dies, it turns the zone into a mushroom forest or something), or buff friendly units (every fungal creature that attacks the cursed enemy heals based on damage done).  A Dark/Nature mage wouldn't even necessarily have to specialize in diseases, and could focus on something else entirely. 

You don't understand.... I just really want Mushroom People in Mage Wars.  I don't care how or why.  I want them almost as badly as I want people riding giant seahorses and a sharktopus (as mentioned by Ozmo).  [Include them in PvS, devs!  You know you want to!!!]  Don't ruin my dreams !  It would be nice to see Mage Wars occasionally embracing some more humorous or unusual concepts.

And the lawyer idea was listed in the very first post too.  I guess I need to become more creative...
