Well,I think every clan is suitable for beginners.You just need to observe and find out tactics to win =D But I didn't mean to make all clans almost same.I personally love Book of Mages just because it's imbalanced lol.
Especially liked the Chaotic Period's max skill level part =).
Now the Clan Magic is playing the same role instead of basic magic.

Two suggestions:
- Sea water mages skills require too many skill points to be upgraded (52 in total). They should be easier to improve (lower skill points cost). Comparatively, burning hill mages only have to spend 23 skill points on their special abilities which let them become very efficient early in the game.
- The burning hill remove effects ability is in my opinion unbalanced: it allows burning hill mages to annihilate ennemy threats too easily (it's particularly annoying for poison water mages, since their poison effect is their main attack). In my opinion, the cost of this skill should be increased (mana? special points? mana and special points?).

Got a weird bug,every time i try to start book of mages 2 the game goes a bit haywire and takes my straight into a battle where nothing works.

Reply to dragon.
Me too sometimes think there should be a number of effects removed for these skills.As poison water have to put A LOT of points into their skills only to be put to waste.I actually suggest scaling some of the 1-point-skills or reduce the scaling levels (for example poison waterbolts)so they can easily cope for the missing points.
But personally I don't like this game to be COMPLETELY balanced anyway.=)
Have been enjoying BoM for almost 3 years.

I also suggest implementing 'improving' of Enemies so the final battle of Balck and White Robes will not be too boring/easy.

PS:The only improving characters I can see are the 6 rival mages of the player.(soundinghorn,rainie,bloodster,etc)

OMG just completed the game,
love it!!!!!!!!!!!

awesome ghraphics
the attack bolts look a bit wierd

but yeah, awesome story line plz make another 1
poison water are soo annoying btw

imposible to pass final battle

i wonder how to be elected to be white robe leader???

It was cool!!!! but it would be cool to after beating the game to continue where you left of and maybe there could be bonus mssions and stuff :3 and finish things you forgot to do (like how i forgot alla bout the book of mages)

To shadow:To win the final battle of Book of Mages
1)Dark Fire Mage will not be a problem, he is too weak with 350 hp.
2)You can beat Burnstorm by having more than 300-400hp and 13-15 power and Ring of All Rings. Just attack him and let him use mana shield.When he attacks with 600 damage, put up a combined attack so you will have bout 200hp left.(For example you are poison water,13 power and 350hp, you will have 10hp left)Then attack him again and he will have no mana left.It's even easier for Great Sea with Ring as you can simply absorb and finish him.
3)Shiverfrost NEVER uses freeze, what an easy fight.But he do use REGENERATE so do have more than 13 power and use combine attack to finish him off.

Remember you should have 450hp or higher at this time.

For the election, you should have good relationship with the GOOD mages. For example you can have 4 friends in the prison raid mission who will vote for you.For others like Burnghost will surely vote for you.

Side tips: The election is actually easier than recruiting. For White Robes , there's a good way to ensure you can get the 'SALESMAN' Title.

The way is to explore main city,dark alley and wilderness to unlock all the events in 6 clans.You will make many friends there.(You might lose to Iceshade but it's okay)And by the time you get the mission, simply venture to Ice Water(Lighttouch,Chilldream,etc), Chaos Desert(Oldhealer), Sea Water(Waterrip) and Burning Hill(Spellsoak) to recruit them.CHEERS! You recruit them easily after defeating the Black Robe recruiter.MAKE SURE you can win them, especially the Dark Fires

ah bieng neutrial is lame well atleast 35 years i becomed grate mage

Huh?35 years for a neutral mage?You can actually change from neutral from black robe by losing to Bloodster.
The game is easy and balanced enough, I think, except for poison water and sometime dark wood.

Thanks again to the creator I waited for about 2years for this sequel=)

wath is max lvl of mana and hp?

Hi guys,
shadow: there is no limit to mana and hp, you can level up as much as you want.
A big thanks to cyw2010 for helping out answering questions! I think you know the game better than we are :)
We am working on the save and share history function, it takes much longer than we thought), and also we are busy getting an office! I am targeting to have next update ready by end of this week.

i think this is a very good game, and i like that the sequel starts only a few years after the first one, gives the impression that if you beat this game, you are straining to beat yourself in the sequel. decent game play, and the many clan choices give it excelent replay value, i am on my 15th play through it ^_^. my only 2 big suggestions is making a multiplayer option, and making the game longer. if there was even 5 years more of gameplay, it would really help with the election. i am also putting a shoutout there, if anyone can tell me how to go pure evil as a black robe, and win, i would apreciate it.

P.S.

plz excuse the spelling errors, i'm not all that good at it. (spelling that is)

To acquire the 'SATAN' reputation easily, simply choose Burning Hill or Chaos Desert (Chaos Desert is the BEST) and play your game accordingly. Remember you don't have to learn twice. Just learn ONLY LA,HA,C and clan Additional 5 HA LA and also Burning...With these 2 skills you can defeat anyone except 3rd place (Burnstorm of Burning Hill),but you can also beat him easily with 15 power or so and 400hp+

Just follow the ordinary black robes quests which is MUCH MORE EASIER than whiterobes since you only have to defeat the stupid 'main city' and 'wilderness' goers. Remember to also visit dark alleys for free joiner.Even Lighttouch from Iceland can be found at dark alley, who will refuse and be easily beaten.

Another tips is to go to every clan and visit their main city, dark alley and wilderness to have advantages over all their events. Remember most of the times being good gives you much more skill points than bad.So you can be good for a while since they have no effect on your final reputation,SATAN.

Shall you make it to the CROSSROAD easily, choose not to be a servant to POISON WATER stupid magi. Free yourself from the poison AND not to drink any potions again. Simply defeat BLOODSTER, PONDANGER and gangs and you are the GREAT MAGE,black.

Finally, defeat the White Robes like pieces of cake. Also bully Shiverfrost and Darklove while depleting Burnstorm's mana by sheer power or surviving his Combined Attack once,since after his first combined attack he will have NO mana left even if your power is 10 ONLY.

Hope my suggestion is detailed enough, since you played 15 games or so.

The game is great....(WAY better than Book of Mages 1) but too confusing! No offense, but the first one was simple and- easy? I am totaly lost and i have no idea how to use the special magic, or the fancy attacks where you can do hight attacks and low attacks at once. But i shouldn't be so negative. Book of Mages 2 is... AWESOME!
Good parts about it:
-You can choose what your character looks like (YES!)
-You can choose your name! (No, offense, i was etting tired of being called Wilson after a while)
-you can do quests
-You have more health, stats, whatever... (It was getting kind of annoying in book of Mages 1 when you had to go into the mana cave 6 times to get one training point)
-The places look different (every siingle clan in Book of Mages 1 looked the same, exept the background had different colors...)
-And, its just plain better!

Thanks for making the game! (I practically waited a whole year for the new one to come out!)

And- (Yes I am the person who posted above) BOOK OF MAGES: THE DARK TIMES IS JUST TOO CONFUSING! (sorry)

I found a glich when you are second on the book of mages ranking and you go to Battelbeard (blackrobe quest) after you have killed the three intrudors at the prison to claim your reward,you automatically challange Battelbeard to fight.Nothing wrong with that but if you talk to him again he is just going to tell you about clan special magic and so on,so you can't continue with the game anymore.Please fix that

does anybody post anymore?
