Assasins

[Argitoth]

Thats all great and dandy, but
#1. Thats a lot of reaserch and magic
#2. I was just talking about C'tis assassins.

You can't entirely stop a mage from casting spells, because the defender gets first action.
I doubt Swarm would help much against ethereal, mistformed, or invulnerable commanders. Ever try to assassinate a Vanheim hero?

Well ok, Swarm doesn't always work. But I like it!

My thoughts exactly. Swarm probably won't kill tough commanders, or commanders with bodyguards.

Swarm isn't very effective for killing*. Most of the time the only commander that dies to a swarm is one that would die to a poison dagger. What swarm is effective for is giving you time to cast eagle eye and decay.

As I see it the idea is that swarm means you only have to survive one round of casting which increases your survivability.

Nice idea - must try it as I like assasins.

Like your stealing commanders ideas Gandalf. Could be truly devestating if you got the right/wrong commander.

It seems raise dead is the best way to go for assassinations.

I would have won my Last assassination if I pulled off two raise skeletons instead of one swarm and one raise skeleton.
