Dwarfs are not expensive. They are only 180 gold, which is exactly the right price to buy one every single turn. You probably should do this as well, since they are very powerful and useful mages, and you can never have enough of them.

I do in fact, almost every turn. But you only can recruit them in capital, which strongly limit their availabilty. And each would give you whooping 3 reseach on drain scale. So you would need to build tons of them to have meaningfull reseach, which means very high maintenence cost.

All I am saying is that Vanheim would be very painfull to play on drain 3, probably more so than most other nations, due to lack of cheap mages, very flexible magic pathes (1 random on capital only mages) and lack of death mages for skull mentors. Do you disagree?
