break mirror

[Cainehill]

Don't think any of those work - AoE _should_ do damage regardless of MI, but usually doesn't. Certain attacks seem to be ... bugged though : F9 blessed troops for instance, seem to immediately take MI down, as I recall it.

MI is a bit wacky (and a bit overpowered) : I've seen A3 mages with a single casting take probably 50+ attacks without losing the mirror images, destroying 110 troop independent provinces in melee, while I've seen an air-9 caster lose hers in about 2 seconds.

IMO, it ought to be more like in AD&D : every attack takes down a single mirror image until they're all gone, while getting one lucky hit leaves the remaining images up against successive swings. (Currently, it's more like : all images stay until the caster is hit, then they all poof, making it rather like betting one's life on the roulette wheel hitting red or black.)
