| Man can (and generally should) take decent [[Scales]], to print money and men. Man's [[magic|mages]] don't really mind [[Scales#Magic-and-Drain|Drain]], given how they ignore it in their [[Research]] and typically use spells that don't operate off [[Magic Resistance]]. {{scales>dr3}} means getting {{scales>O2P1}} (or {{scales>O1P2}}) without affecting your [[Dominion]] strength or your [[Bless]], for just that many more of whichever troops or commanders you want. The penalty to your starting [[Research]] points is fixed, something that having more [[fort|forts]] will more than make up for. | Man can (and generally should) take decent [[Scales]], to print money and men.

| As for the mages themselves, they are horrifically unreliable, befitting a nation that essentially restarted from scratch fifty years ago. There are two //official// mages: the ??Lord Warden?? (who's priced as one of those "do-anything" commanders, like a [[vanheim-ea|Vanherse]]), and the "dedicated" ??Magister Arcane??. The Magister Arcane is priced as a mid-tier combat mage, and essentially //is// one 90% of the time; he also has the problem of being vulnerable to an [[Astral]] [[Magic Duel|war of attrition]]. While it looks like Man lacks guaranteed "small mages" for Research, the nation does have two "minor" mages who //might// have magical skills, and these guys can be recruited without [[laboratory|labs]]. With your Citadels, you get (on average) a little over one magic level per turn, which is decent-enough for research purposes; just keep in mind the costs. Those without magic levels still have at least one use, whether it's [[Spy|espionage]], [[Siege|fort-popping]], [[Mason|Citadel-improving]], or [[Patrol|Unrest-reducing]]. | As for the mages themselves, they are distinctly inconsistent, befitting a nation that essentially restarted from scratch fifty years ago.

There are also two "minor mages" for Research, but these aren't guaranteed to have //any// magic paths, though the one with the lowest chance of having any is balanced by costing only 1 Commander Point and not needing a [[laboratory|lab]].
