Rune Mages ruin my game :(

[Alexgvf]

they are so OP!

I dont mind overpowerd spells like turn time back spells because they are random and it adds some flavor to the game, and i can turn a blind eye on them. But in all my games rune mages are available, and i dont like to use self imposed rules, at least in the units i choose! (like NO rune mages in my armies xD)

Can somebody make a mod from them? at least dont make available that ugly skill that gives more charges?

English is not my best language

You should look here, each use of phantom decrease his effeciency by one third.

I use them and I love them but the only one of their skills I use is the crit and use em as a ranged dps since the other ranged dps in this game suck. Problem fixed.

Yes I use them as dmg dealers aswell, coz i like to see big numbers on the screen and laser is sick with max might runes. Maidens spear also can crit for insane dmg. But the idea of 3rd skill being able to cast on rune mages itself is plain dumb. Should be fixed number of charges.

True, they're way OP but I've never used them, not in CW, not in WoTN. I simply hate the idea of spells/abilites getting stronger with unspent runes. Dunno why, just seems stupid. Always hoarding those runes and not spending them on those interesting abilities and all because of those stupid mages. Nah, I'll pass. Gimme some Rangers, Demonologists, Soothsayers, Royal Thorns and Black Dragons and watch the dance

Actually, some maximum of charges in addition to the rune requirement might be a good thing. Simply removing the third ability won't solve the problem since runic word can provide all the runes they need. (Like maximum 1 charge of phantom, 2 charges of laser and maybe some changed third ability)
And I do think the laser is overpowered as well - its damage just scales too high.
