Default Re: Warhammer MA: Empire

I'm planning on balancing the College wizards simply by costing them high enough in gems and in the case of Wizard Lords, research, that getting enough of them as battlemages will be quite tough.

The idea being that you don't get droves of wizards from each school, instead you go for the Colleges that you want/need. I fully expect Bright and Gold to be popular as battle mages, but that fits warhammer pretty well. I might give amethyst DS to use nether bolt too.

The lategame will be strong in terms of variety, becasue by that point you probably have several Wizard Lords, but the handicap of not being able to simply recruit useful wizards is fairly major and should have weakened the midgame a bit. Besides, the Empire is supposed to be able to turtle somewhat - they aren't a rush nation at all, as reflected by their many slow summons and lack of uber sacreds.
