How to beat 15 Pythium mages plus lions and wyverns

If he is using a communion cast rigor mortis. It will fatigue out his mages quicker, meaning you face fewer spells, hopefully send all his mages over 200 fatigue so they will die.

Attack rear (straight away with flyers) to get at his mages. Ermor has A1 on some of its mages? Cast flight on your banes and have them attack rear. Put your behemoths up centre front with attack closet, try to luck them to help them survive longer.

Cast darkness if you can as well. Have your mages spam steller cascades/ghost grip to fatigue the enemy quicker.

All that should bring you victory.

He probably won't have access to those spells, though.

I tailored all my suggestions to what Ma Ermor can fairly easily script and cast. May need to research 1 or 2 things thou.

I think he meant research-wise, as they are in mid game and it sounds like they are both a bit light on overall research.

Yup, I have around 4-5 turns more before I attack. From the spells mentioned I will only have acces to Flight but we have one of those global spells on that prevents flying anyways, Eternal Storms or something. Does that one prevent flying across map only or also in battle mode?

He's summoned crap units and he has a pile of mages.

Basically, the answer is "send in some chaff to catch spells, and when the morale breaks on his summoned crap you get an auto-win".

Don't fear this guy. The only mistake you can make is to let him get some research for spells that actually matter. On turn 33 his best tactic is probably Mind Burn spam; the problem is that he'll only get three turns of that before your archers cause his whole army to route.
