I hate horrors

[Wish]

I once killed the eater of heroes (who was on an indy province) with a well equipped Lord of the Night - using that sharpest tooth or whatever (the really poisonous one) as the weapon.

He wasn't marked so the horror spent some time on the skeletons from the wraith crown and the doom bats.

also i think blood vengence is the sort of thing you need MR to overcome... always risky though.

Horrow mark is a S2 Thau 1 spell...So why haven't a group of S2 wizards just overthrown the pretenders by spamming horror mark,letting the horrors/doom horrors do the work for them and taken over?

Why don't the horrors/doom horrors just move in fullstop, destroy the gods, slaughter everything and turn the world into doom horror paradise?

Would'nt be too difficult for them really given there power.

It's tougher than it sounds for a couple of reasons. First, the logistics of getting a bunch of S2 wizards into combat with the enemy pretender is problematic, especially if he isn't a SC.
Second, horror mark will target the highest HP unit in the opposing army. If the pretender is a little guy like an archmage (ripe for horror mark), he'll probably get passed over in favor of that elephant on the back line.
Third, sending in suicide squads of S2 wizards is wasting a lot of S2 wizards. Horror mark x5 is pretty much conceding the battle, and you'll need chaff to buy them the time they need. It gets expensive pretty fast.
