Anti-SC Army

[Boron]

hmmm.. do you think investing points into an Air9 Bless is worth it? It wouldn't work with every race, but if you had an army of sacred units that are almost immune to lightning, Wrathful Skies would become your best friend (gem income permitting). It seems like a big points investment though..

wrathful skies can be negated too by lightning resistence .

as i already said and cheezeninja too the spells against which you can't resist are your best bet

the false horrors shouldn't work too well because they have a mr-negates attack + many scs have fireshield which should kill them too easy .

but against undeads dust to dust etc. is good.
against all drain life , bane fire , gifts from heaven always work

and some of the mr-negates spells are really good too especially petrifiy because it makes the scs at least immobile and if they fail one mr-savethrow they are dead

all in all though not too many methods to surely kill a sc come to my mind :
only the above mentioned spells drain life , bane fire , gifts from heaven

creatures :
a vampire horde / ghost horde

and of course antisc-scs .

what works in most cases too but can be unlucky or very expensive :
screens of lifeless creatures ( undeads , the earth constructs like living statues )

petrify , soul slay , charm , enslave mind



all in all you either need :
for spells :
E3S1
D3F
D4
(B1)

for creatures :
D4B3 for vampires
D5 for costeffective autosummonghosts from wraithlords

that makes death/earthmages most desireable as battlemages .

for a few nations this creates problems :
marignon
man
tien chi (expect s&a)

these 3 nations are somewhat magically really inflexible and have no easy sc counters .
