Mages Guild

The Mages Guild allows you to train Mages from the Barracks. Mages are strong but vulnerable units, that are capable of dishing out large attacks.

Strength

 * Mage's guild allows you to access mages, one of the most powerful units in the game due to their ability to cast battle-changing AoE spells.


 * Mage's guild also allows you to obtain the upgrades for mages, fireball and heal, which are what truly make the mage effective.


 * Mage's guild can also be used to throw you opponent off track as mages are built from barracks, so you don't have to commit to it as you loose no production time switching from producing mages to another unit.

Weakness
The Mage's guild is quite expensive however and the mages it unlocks are not really worth using without also buying the upgrades.
