What's the best 100 gold National mage?

hey, where's the lizard love?

110 bucks, sacred, communionable, and able, as such, to cast relief et. al.

maybe not the best the best, but damn useful all around.

I save my lizard love for the Sauromancer and the Empoisoner.

Recruiting a Shaman is no fun since any time you could recruit one you can choose one of the other two instead.

But the other two can't curse that nasty icedevil rampaging your provinces.

Teraswaerto,

If you're talking about C'tis, sure. Though the fact that the Shaman is sacred should count for something. Also the fact that he can cast the Astral site-searching spell and, later, Summon Couatls shouldn't be overlooked. Finally, for C'tis, it offers the only easy Communion possibility.

Another consideration is that you can also find Shamen in Independent provinces.

I like the 'alternate' Shaman for Desert Tombs now, though. One Skull Staff (which the Sauromancers can forge), and he can summon Banefire Archers. I do like how IW tied Desert Tombs so much to Banefire.

There's a lot of good mages at 110-120 that weren't included... maybe a new poll for the under 150 crew?

As for the Shaman... great unit, but the Seithkona is 20 gold cheaper and comes with death magic too.
