Mages

My mages have no spells to cast. I thought that they were able to attack from a distance. Do they need to level up before gaining spells or perhaps I need to research a prerequesit?

No spells, just a ranged attack with their Staves.

Are we talking about champions with magic or the "mages" troops?

Champion mages may not have any tactical spells at low levels.  For example, an "Earth Apprentice".  Level him up to get stuff like "Shockwave".

Trained troop mages have a ranged attack with their staves.  That's all they get.

I really wish that if you had a champion that took Path of the Mage that staves would output more damage than if they were used by someone not trained in the ways of the mage.

As is, staves are continually balanced up against bows, and that just doesn't seem right. Mages should not prefer to use bows over magical staves.

Just some thoughts.

Yes. We should have more ranged staves, and every mage level should give a tiny, but STACKABLE bonus to ranged staff damage. Like 1 or less per path.

Yea, it sucks as the magic staves we have are balanced as to be used by a grouped unit, not an individual champion.  I wish that the staves damage increased with path of the mage traits.
