There are plenty of cases - battle of waterloo as an obvious - where a small distraction resulted in significant changes in the battle. Using magic to make the enemy THINK they're flanked may provide a significant number of the advantages to actually flanking them. | |

| Jan 18, 2017 at 22:20 | comment | added | Jasper | @coteyr -- The MathJax parser treats anything (within a single paragraph) between two $ signs as a variable name. An entire comment is treated as a single paragraph, even if its markup code contains line breaks. | |

| Jan 18, 2017 at 20:33 | comment | added | coteyr | I think this stands. If 1 bullet is $5 but 1 magic rock bullet is $10 then you arm your people with bullets. | |
| Jan 18, 2017 at 17:54 | comment | added | rschpdr | Nice answer! Two points I must clarify: warfare evolved alongside magic, since the times tactics weren't such a great thing. Mage fights are deeply rooted in this people culture, so they are common after all, because they basically replace weapons engineering in the story. The second one is that the "fuel" is expensive, not rare, because of monopoly. Only one city-state has the means to extract it and they heavily militarized the extraction fields, so they sell it to others at whatever price they want. But overall great answer! | |
