how do damage multipliers work?

IMO, the BL is too cheap & easy to cast for what you get, especially compared to the ID or other comparable summons.

And perhaps more importantly, the BL is not unique so you can mass them.

Nice tests deccan. After IW confirmed that indeed it was #2 I figured that the herald lances would be amazingly effective. And indeed they are.

Good. If it is easy to kill SC's then good I say.

Now how the hell to kill those AQ's that's the question.

Killing SC's is easy when they're alone. Somebody sneezes and they die. But when they bring a huge army and hide behind, that's another story. Though big SC's are still vulnerable to spells and "attack large monsters" squads. For <6 SC's life is easier as they can bring something large (Niefel Giants, Mammonths, Elephants etc) to draw enemies fire.

What about AQ? If they come alone, bunch of el-cheapo lifeless summons (undead, clockwork horrors, etc) work just fine.

Yeah that's the question . And the airqueen has normally the stormbonus so she can decide when to attack .
A waterqueen is very impressive then probably too .
If you have a nataraja you can give him a lifedrain weapon , a flamebeau and a shield hm .

Wonder whats more efficient lategame : Wishing for Natarajas or for Airqueens or for Doom horrors ?

Life draining weapons are what you want here, since they cause her fatigue even when you only hit a mirror image.

The mirror images have still the same defense as the airqueen ?
Cause the queen of storms has 17 base att/def and gets +5 during storm so i think this way you have with good equipment always a +3-10 bonus in defence depending which SC you face . Then the getting hit by lifedrain weapons probablity should be greatly reduced and if i use lifedrain on my own i think the fatigue should stay at <20 for most time .

If your wishing multiple times, wish for Armageddon and then population.

It won't make you popular but at least it's something reasonable to do with Wishes.

How does wish for population work ? I haven't tried it out yet but afaik you get only a bit population in 1 province .

So either you are just kidding or you get hordes of population in your whole empire with wishing for population like 1000xdominionstrength in all your provinces because it was improved in 2.14

Population is moved from enemy provinces into yours.

Cool . Is it a constant or a percentage ? And how many provinces are affected ?
Is it like
A : move from Y provinces XXXX ( constant ) population to Z provinces you own
B : Move from Y provinces X % of the popluation to Z provinces you own

Is Y constant or does it depend on world size ?
