Number of mage

How many mage could i have? Now i have a maximum of 2/2 mage but i would like to have a nother one to try the light one, is it possible?

Which faction are you playing? Some buildings will increase the cap for certain classes of heroes, read the descriptions and see if any of them increase the cap.

Most mage towers/buidlings/temples increase the cap for said heroes by the 2nd or 3rd tiers. So get to building! In vanilla I think the cap is 10 agents of each type/class. So in theory you can have 10 mages/wizards, 10 nobles/captains, 10 assasins/chieftens... etc....

The default is 10 for each agent type, but frankly I prefer to play with a mod that caps it at 3. Too many agents on the map is messy on several levels. First, it greatly increases map clutter, as the AI tend to spam them nonstop and slow down the turn wait times. Second, you will be forced to deal with constant AI agent harassment and have less opportunity to counter/retaliate, because they have a lot more funds to undertake agent actions Finally, ensuring that you do something with that many agent on every turn is also draining on the player too.

I'm playing the high elves and i have the tower of mage (level V) =S
So should I build another tower of mage to get 1 more mage?

In another province, yes. Same deal with the Nobels if you want more of them. Need to get their building to tier 2 (lvl 4 city) to increase the cap.

Depends, how many armies do you have? As a general rule you want at least 1 mage per army. If you don't have enough mages to do that then it's time to build more repositories/towers (note the archive doesn't increase your mage count).

Better yet, confederate - if the AI has a provincial capital it will almost always build a repository/tower there.
