For mage-type heroes, unless you're talking about someone with insane personal combat power, numbers mean absolutely nothing in front of them. One well-placed area-of-effect spell, and boom—doesn't matter how many enemies there are, the weak ones get wiped out in an instant.
That's something warrior-type heroes just can't pull off.
And that's exactly why, at the same level, mage heroes are way more intimidating—way more dangerous—than any other class.
No exaggeration here:
The type of hero that gives lords the biggest headaches, the ones they fear and dread the most...
Are mages.
Because with just one devastating spell, they can obliterate tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands—hell, millions—of troops in a flash.
And all those troops? That's money.
Gone.
Sure, low-tier units aren't worth much individually, but when they die in droves? That adds up fast.
One spell, and a whole chunk of your army's gone. Another spell, another chunk. Who the hell can afford that?
