Their only problem is their low speed. In early game they can be okay, also serving as protectors for your [[Master Gremlin]]s, but later on it's recommended to leave them in the castle, as to not slow down your hero. However, they are good castle defenders, boasting  low cost and natural magic resistance, and can still be used for final battles, as any slow unit, since it doesn't matter that much whether you're slowed down or not at the end of the game.
Magi and Archamgi are the second shooter of the [[Tower]] faction, replacing [[Gremlin and Master Gremlin|gremlins]] when they become available. It is not essential to upgrade magi early in the game. However, the upgraded Mage Tower only cost 5 {{W}} and 2000 {{G}}. Considering that it gives five more hit points, speed seven and no obstacle penalty, it is more than affordable. The main downside of the magi is, that [[Mage Tower]] has very steep cost, together with their low health.

Magi and Arch Magi are level 4 creatures of Tower. They can be recruited from the Mage Tower. (Note, that the correct spelling is 'one mage' but 'many magi'.)

"Apprentice magi, under the mentorship of Wizards, serve as Tower troops before they become full masters of their craft. Both mage and arch mage units suffer no damage penalty for attacking adjacent enemies and reduce the casting cost of allied hero spells by two. Arch mage attacks penetrate cover and deal full damage to enemies behind siege walls." RoE manual

Magi's attacks visually look like bolts of energy, while arch magi's attacks are concentrated beams. They both use their staff to strike enemies in melee combat.

Although the documentation says that only arch magi ignore the obstacle penalty, but at least in some versions this is also true for magi.

Tactics and info

Magi and Archamgi are the second shooter of the Tower faction, replacing gremlins when they become available. It is not essential to upgrade magi early in the game. However, the upgraded Mage Tower only cost 5 Wood and 2000 Gold. Considering that it gives five more hit points, speed seven and no obstacle penalty, it is more than affordable. The main downside of the magi is, that Mage Tower has very steep cost, together with their low health.

Heroes with a specialty

  • TheodorusTheodorusTheodorusTheodorus Theodorus the Wizard has magi as a specialty, which increases the attack and defense skills of any magi or arch magi for each level attained after 4th level and gives them a speed bonus of 1.
