Re: Missle Shield
Im also a big missile fan, but it only works well into middle game. I am also a big support-mage fan, and dont build SCs, but that is my failing; flaming arrows and wind guide are a MUST, which I dont see you having with Pan, and Man only gets you Wind Guide.
Make sure you have some cheapo troops around to draw enemy fire. Even a crack troop of heavily armored is nice too.
Drawbacks: Useless underwater. Severely handicapped by storms and mist -- and no one has yet mentionend my MOST FAVORITE spell of all time (whcih I usually rush to get against human players): Arrow Fend. Poof, your army is 1/5 of its original size with the casting of 1 spell, and will be mowed down quickly to nothing.
So you will need to switch in mid-to late game, and stay dynamic. NEVER rely on 1 strat only, unless you feel your opponents will never be able to counter it.
The computer opponents are stupid; I have never seen them cast Storm or Arrow Fend, or the other counters mentioned in previous Posts. But against a Human Being you will suffer, because humans WILL scout you and WILL find out what you are doing, and they WILL counter it.
So to answer your question: No, it is not stupid, but neither is it a solution for all situations.
