[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 3105014, member: 177"] Without reading the others (to perhaps give an idea of what is really obvious) - 1)Both the attackers have a major problem: they can only use magic [i]near their own access points[/i] - the only place they can go on the offense is near a place that it tactically important for them to defend. Expansion becomes difficult when your best tools don't work where you're trying to occupy. And, of course, the defenders get to know the general location of the attacker's bases - if they can use magic, it is nearby. 2)The defenders, having one and only one major site, near which the attacker's magic works, should be incredibly easy to squash. Sort of having only one ammo stockpile, stuck out where the enemy can come and use it to shell your base with... Now, reading some of the others: Well,the same can be said for any industrial infrastructure. There has to be some bootstrapping. If the structure [i]doesn't require magic to create[/i] it's fine. At some poiont, either nature or mundane labor created the first sites, and someone figured out how that worked so they could build more. [/QUOTE]
