Mana

2015-02-27T22:59:42Z

UnKnown: Corrected the amount of mana each unit really gives.. Image should be corrected..

Mana is needed to charge [[Spells]] and train [[Followers]]. Mana is developed by every follower you own, and each follower generates different amounts of mana per minute. Mana can also be acquired as a reward from some [[Stone Head]]s

{|border="1"
|+ Mana Generated by Each Follower in a Minute
! Follower !! Mana Generation Per Minute
|-
| [[Warrior]], [[Firewarrior]], [[Preacher]], [[Spy]] (moving) || 11,3
|-
| [[Brave]] (in hut or working) || 34,6
|-
| [[Brave]], [[Warrior]], [[Firewarrior]], [[Preacher]], [[Spy]] (idle) || 9,1
|-
| [[Shaman]] || 66,6
|}

Each player starts the game with an initial 300 mana. Thereafter, mana is generated by [[Followers]] at varying rates.

Once acquired, mana can be used in two ways: charging [[Spells]] and training [[Followers]].
As is mana is charged, it is allocated in two steps:

* Mana is split 50/50 between charging [[Spells]] and training [[Followers]]. If no [[Spells] are being charged, then 100% is channeled towards training Followers. If no Followers are being trained, then 100% is channeled towards charging [[Spells]]. If no spells are being charged and no followers are being trained, then the mana is wasted.

* The mana allocated to spells is divided equally among the spells charging and the mana allocated to training is divided equally to each active training hut.

Example:
At the start of a game, the player has a [[Shaman]], 7 working [[Brave]]s, 2 [[Warrior]]s and 2 [[Preacher]]s. The player is training more [[Preacher]]s with a single [[Hut]] and is charging [[Convert]], [[Blast]], and [[Hypnotise]].
Total Mana flow from followers is:
66,6 + (7 x 34,6) + (2 x 11,3) + (2 x 11,3) = 354 mana per minute.

[[Image:Mana.jpg|center|]]

If an attack on your base is imminent and you need [[Hypnotise]] to thwart it you can make it charge six times as fast by stopping your training and turning off all spell charging except for [[Hypnotise]]. Alternatively you may decide you need the [[Preacher]] and so turning off all spell charging would allow you to train them twice as fast.
