Binding a Mana Node

[Allan]

I can't figure out how to bind one, can someone tell me please?

You have to go the spot with your army, than you will have an option to drain/bind you, if you have researched it.

[Allan]

Ohhhhh okay, thank you!

Other than the first one you do as a quest, it does not seem worth it, unless I missed something.

The first node I chose to bind was a medium node. I got +7 mana per turn and +5 per turn more (from the quest). And I also got a research boost. It cost me 440 Mana. That seems worth it.

The next nearest node was also a medium. At 440 mana to get +7 mana a turn, that takes 63 turns to break even. Is that worth it?

[sir Evans]

Yes.

You need to be clever about it - drain and bind - drain some nodes to bind others, drained nodes quickly regenerate and this can give you a lot of mana in short order.
A tip: place a single unit army of your cheapest type at nodes to re-drain them once they reactivate.

Also mana storage is capped. around 1000 or so, you can increase it by building in your wizard tower, but not by a lot. I found that when I'm near the cap, it's good to spend them to increase the income so as to not waste the mana.
