Magic Scale
What's the main difference of taking
+1 magic (bonus +1 to research per mage)
cost=40
Versus
+2 magic (bonus +1 to research per mage)
cost=80
or +2 Drain versus +1 Drain.

Re: Magic Scale
Magic 2 and Drain 1 are just dump.
You just take either +1 magic (+1 Research) or +3 magic (+2 research).
On drain you stay with neutral scales or go for 2 drain instead.
I'm a fan of this. In dom2 you got for Magic 3 a +3 Research bonus and this was too good in my eyes.

Re: Magic Scale
Err... IIRC the difference between magic+1 and magic+2 is that in magic+2 you get another -1 to MR.
Same for drain (only +1MR)

Re: Magic Scale
It is supposed to affect your spell casting, not just your research.

Re: Magic Scale
I believe that fatigue cost is +/-10% per drain scale, but I'm not sure how it might round. I'll do some experiments when I get back next week.

Re: Magic Scale
Does the fatigue cost and the magic resitance affect both you and your opponet equally. To me that +1 resitance you get with drain sounds like a good thing, because if it is in your dominion, you are likely the one being attcked.
And how is the loss of fatigue for a magic scale supposed to help you, if the enemey gets the same bonus?
