Content pack: High Elf base roster — Warhammer II. Immortal Empires ownership
- Mage is on the base High Elf roster from Warhammer II. A playable High Elf faction unlocked through Warhammer II, The Queen & the Crone, The Warden & the Paunch, or Aislinn — Tides of Torment can recruit one when the hero panel lists that entry.
- An Archmage is the lord type. Caradryan is a Legendary Hero from Aislinn's pack. The panel shows which Mage lores this faction can recruit.
Choose the lore entry
The recruitment names are Mage (High), Mage (Light), Mage (Life), Mage (Heavens), Mage (Shadows), Mage (Beasts), Mage (Death), Mage (Fire) and Mage (Metal). High Magic is the name on the High entry. The others use the Lore of Light, the Lore of Life, the Lore of Heavens, the Lore of Shadows, the Lore of Beasts, the Lore of Death, the Lore of Fire and the Lore of Metal.
Tyrion's army gets its magic from a hero once you have recruited one. Teclis is the spellcaster lord. An Archmage leads an army under that lord type. Recruit the Mage entry the panel shows for the faction you are playing.
Cast from behind the spears
Stand the Mage behind Spearmen or Lothern Sea Guard and cast into a fight those troops are already holding. The army shares one Winds of Magic reserve. Overcasting spends more of it and can miscast. The battle UI shows that risk on the cast.
Match the lore to the job. A supporting cast wants your troops in the area. A cast that strikes the enemy wants the target there and your own line out of it. Read the spell before you spend the reserve.
Mage, Archmage, or Caradryan
A Mage joins. An Archmage leads. Caradryan is the named Phoenix Guard captain from Aislinn's Tides of Torment, and he joins through his own recruitment missions.
On a fighter such as Tyrion, the Mage is the caster. On Teclis, another caster shares the same reserve. Pick the lore the army still lacks.
