[QUOTE="haakon1, post: 5972517, member: 25619"] Ah, I spotted your error. "Fortune favors the brave" -- the nature of magic (arcane magic) and the will of the gods and dark powers (divine magic) is to help small groups of heroes. That does NOT imply armies are irrelevant. It just means MAGIC doesn't favor them, answering your original conjecture that magic was somehow broken because magic is focused on adventurers instead of logistics or agriculture. It's not broken at all. It's just the nature of magic to not be "interested" in boring mundane stuff like the crop reports, primary school education, or military logistics, when it could be on the edge of its seat seeing what happens with SEAL Team 6. You can argue that magic's priorities are wrong, but it doesn't matter -- it's magic/the gods, to it does what it wants. "Vaccination Campaign" would be a very effective spell . . . but the gods are much more interested in "Hero's Feast". Why? I dunno, I'm not the Elder God of Magic. :) [/QUOTE]
