I think it's nature magic that deals with increasing base protection. Fortunately Machaka has nature mages. Of course, it's just 10...
But there's an another spell: I don't remember the details, but it's Earth/Construction, high level, and grants 20 protection.
You probably mean either Army of Gold or Army of Lead, both of which are high-level Alterations.

The nature protection spell increase the chance to see your infantry killed by your own fire spells, and has a too long range to position your mages to cast it on archers only (the stupid witch doctors like to cast protection on hoplites, not really increasing their already high prot but giving them -50% FR). Of course once you have marble warriors or army of lead/gold the protection problem is solved but it's probably a little too late in most games (and you are probably using living statues, mechanical men or others summons at this point).

God, I love this game...

I started a game with Machaka earlier today (no particular reason), and after some playing I discover one of my now riderless spiders has the affliction: "Lost a couple of eyes" (game effect is the same as 'lost an eye' for regular units)

How in the name of god can you not love a game that does that?

More importantly: Why, oh why did I only find out about this game last month? I could have been playing it for years now, instead of throwing my life away with some of the (comparatively) dumb games I have been playing.


Okey, okey... I admit this was totally offtopic, but I still felt the need to share my enthousiasm about the lost couple of eyes

Nor a dashing hat with a red feather either...

Erm... I mean... not that I would want to do something like that... Of course not... People and their silly hats allways... mumble

This was exactly how I felt, when I realised I had missed out big time on playing Dom2...Shrapnel/Illwinter need higher dominion to spread the word better....

It's the little things like that which help make this game great. I had a kraken pretender with the affliction "Lost a few tentacles"
