Umm. What is the counter against Darkness. Sorry to get off topic, but I've always wondered, and have had my *** kicked by it a couple of times now.

Depends upon your enemy and nation. If you've got astral magic, Solar Brilliance will clear it right up for you.

If you've got fire, Purgatory will be the counter you use against Ermor.

If facing Agartha as Ctis or Caelum, Quagmire/Grip of Winter won't counter, but will be quite tough on them. If they're asleep, you're going to hit ALL the time, and nightvision races rarely have exceptional attack/def scores. An extra bit of fatigue may be of some help.

If you're Abysia, and your opponent is using Darkness to make all your spells miss, you'll have to settle for Combustion, Blindness, Conflagration, Rage, Hydrophobia, Incinerate, or other precision one hundred spells.

1. Use undead or demon troops is one counter to darkness.

2.Script your mages to cast spells that have 100 percent precision-they still hit 100 percent in darkness. drain life, charm, frozen heart etc.

3. Equip your mages with items that cast spells that have 100 percent precision. herald lance, drain life staff.

4. cast battlefield spells like wraithful skies( along with storm warriors), rain of stones etc that can kill off the enemy troops.

5. buy indies with dark vision-shamblers, atlantean militia etc.

6. aoe spells

7. Assassinate mages that are casting darkness-earth attack, mind hunt, manifestation, wings of monkey, vengeance of the dead.

8. burn up his gems by casting ghost riders before the battle.

I absolutely do not think it is settled. I will use the orders on Bogus and his
friends, in any game which does not explicitly state that it is not allowed.
