@Klomster Well given the currency is 100 bronze= 1 silver and 100 silver = 1 gold. That would work out to 1 gold for 400 people. Considering the soldiers being ransomed are of low born that is very reasonable.
@PhoenixWhite That's fine. We are still waiting for the collab between Andrew and Klom as well so it's not as if you were holding us up.
@Klomster Mages cannot enhance the physical performance of other soldiers. Otherwise it would lead to some very overpowered guards simply walking through any opposition.
@Ellri Depends on the spell. For example in the battle of Ralda most of the fireballs were extinguished before they even reached their target. Other methods could be using a magical barricade (taught under the destruction school as a form of defense) which could be used to block against most spells (but useless against actual physical weapons). Mages may erect a barrier of ice or stone if they wish to protect themselves from more powerful spells or mundane weaponry though this takes more skill then a simple magical barrier.
@Ellri Well the main way to defend against magic is with other mages. There are mundanes who specialize in countering mages, but they tend to be assassin's or bounty hunters, not usually people found among the professional army who tend to just rely on their own mages. Of course simply wearing Armour or having a shield can provide a decent defense in close combat.
@Ellri I think you are underestimating mudane soldiers a bit. For a start there will always be hundreds of mundane soldiers to ever one mage. Meaning that in the unlikely event that an army of mages and a army of mudanes were to battle, there would be thousands of mundanes for only a hundred or so mages.
Although the mages would successfully defeat hundreds in the mundane army (providing the mundane army has no mages what so ever) ultimately they would be overwhelmed by the mundane forces.
Mages are most effective when fighting alongside the main mundane forces and by doing this can help change the tide of a battle. This is why mages tend to be divided into small grouped throughout the army rather than being in one group; if the enemy were to target them with perhaps a volley of arrows or a cavalry then the army would be without mages and would put them at a distinct disadvantage (considering that not only would they have lost all their mages but they would now have no way to defend against the enemy mages).

@Klomster @PhoenixWhite How is the collab/post coming along?
@ZB1996 Are there any collabs required in those developments?
@Klomster I have given Andrew a prod and he says he will have something for you today.
