No Mages

[Major Mayhem]

I am playing as Kandros Fir and have several adepts at level 4 or higher. I also have the Sorcery tech. However, I am unable to upgrade those adepts to mages. Am I mssing something or is there a problem?

 

[Angel-Julia]

are they within the BFC of a city with a mage guild? they cant be upgraded in ennemy teritory etc.

It's flavour, Khazad cannot upgrade adepts to mages.

 

[Angel-Julia]

oh yeah, i didnt notice he mentioned Kandros Fir.
Khazad need to use their super-power trebs instead, or heros.
this makes the dwarfs a bit slower as you cant haste your trebs, though i suppose it balances out as their powerhouse economy and cheap upgrades means they can run twice as many armies at once.

I wasn't playing as Khazad, but I'm pretty sure that I was upgrading adepts to mages on the march in a 0.41m game the other day. I only ever build one or two mage guilds and I'm sure they weren't close to one.

I built the wonder that puts a mage guild in every city (at work so can't look it up). If it's flavor that's fine by me, I just missed any indication of that from the pedia.

You don't need a mage guild to upgrade to mage. But yeah, no mages for Khazad.

well it IS in the pedia... not in the "adept" page but in the "Khazad" page of the civiliztion panel. And at the "Begin-game"when you begin your civ and they explain you Which leader you are, what is the civ, and even gives pieces of advice for strong points and weaknesses of the civs.
There it is written "units un-buildable : mage, archmage, lich" and maybe some more.

Yeah. I see that now. I can just jumped in with both feet. Then when I went looking under mages I didn't see anything. Ah well.
