Heroes 4 - Might / Stronghold Creatures: Ogre Magi

HERO INTRODUCTION


One of only two melee intelligence heroes, on the surface the Ogre Magi appears to be a regular offensive spellcaster with limited buffing capabilities. However, the true power of this hero is revealed when his passive Multicast skill comes into play. Similar to a passive critical strike, Multicast allows the Ogre Magi's spells to hit multiple times. His Fireblast spell is a decent but unremarkable spell on its own, but a Multicasted Fireblast is capable of dealing huge damage and stunning a target for a long time. Bloodlust provides a great speed bonus to a single target, and a Multicasted Bloodlust gives that same bonus to the Ogre's entire team. Ignite is a fairly weak single target slow without Multicast, but gains a large area of effect with more levels of Multicast. Although he is not very threatening without it, the Ogre Magi becomes quite deadly once he starts throwing Multicasts around.


BACKGROUND STORY


Ogres, a race bred to be warriors, have no experience with the arcane arts, leaving Aggron, who was born with a rare affinity to magic, without guidance regarding his innate abilities. His own force of will harnesses his talent to produce elemental flames and explosions that consume his opponents. Being a natural warrior, he reaches into his own aggression to fuel his comrades' lust for battle. His savage, untapped magical potential is prone to fiery outbursts which enhance the potency of his spells. A towering force built on strength and magic, Aggron is honored by his people and feared by his enemies

Comments: A comparatively poor level 3 creature, with HP acting as the saviour on this occasion. The astoundingly cheap Ogre Mage can cast bloodlust, which is an extinct product in the Stronghold. Their high growth of 6 per week compensates for their slow nature.

Stronghold creatures - Ogre Magi Ogre Magi Health: 60 Attack: 13 Shots: none Movement: ground 400 gold (4) Hex size: 1 Defence: 7 Dmg: 6-12 Spd: 5 (slow) Special: Can cast bloodlust spell on one ally per round at spell power 6, advanced level. Great upgrade, 50% tougher for 33% extra price plus the spell bonus. Ogre magi are the toughest among their level, their supperiority undermined perhaps only by vampires' life drain. Stock up on these guys because they can dellay your enemy's victory by few thousand hit points. Ogre magi are still slow, but they don't just stand there anymore - bloodlust spell will assist the advancing armies while magi defend the shooters. Bloodlust increases attack skill for the time of 6 rounds
