Default Re: Counter to \"Fog Warriors\"?

Hmmm... yes, Magma would be the obvious counter; but (and this is a big but) the "hum hum" uses Mistform AND Storm in conjunction. This effectively renders any range depending spell unusable.

So yes, more steel on top of the mountain of steel my warriors already possess may be a valid tactic, just too bad that they can't hit squat and of course decides to take a nap after a while in combat.

Storm's precision reduction shouldn't affect your Magma casters as much at short range, so if you keep them pretty far forward and wait for your enemy to close, you should hit some stuff. This would be especially effective if you are buffing your army, because then they may be able to hold the attack for several turns, giving your mages a nice close unmoving target to aim for.

Of course don't use Magma stuff with Wooden Warriors, because there's some element of fire involved, which your guys would be vulnerable to.

Don't forget Weapons of Sharpness and/or Strength of Giants. Earth magic has some good army-buffing spells....
