Although there must be some temptation to throw a fireball in the midst of those goons, I think it’s still a smarter move to save the spellcasters’ juices for strategically more important things, like trying to interrupt the line of command, hold/break the gate, or foil some strategic maneuver on the enemy’s side. At least if magic works in some way similar most tabletop games, you can’t just go around throwing about your most powerful spells all day. If it works kinda WoW-style (cooldowns), you still need ot be careful with your more powerful ones. And you need to be even more careful with placing your casters too close to the front line because that makes them targets, too.

This occurred to me separately as I was doing a later annotation. Phil and I didn’t discuss it as such and he was the point person for this part of the script but… yeah, probably!

The alt text was probably about wow battlegrounds like WSG or AB, not about moba games. Funny that while times have changed, the phrase can still apply in a different context to a different genre.

No spellcasters in this fray? Any Tectonicus’ priest on the Rebellion side? Spellcasting elves (or even amateur casters, like E-Merl) fighting for Gastonia? I mean, either side might want to attack with some area spells before sending the troops, don’t they?

Honestly, this would have been a great idea
