It is consistently spelled wrong in the guides. Here it is: http://dom3.servegame.com/wiki/Mandeha

I could almost swear that the manual only states that undead and darkvision units are immune to or mitigate darkness penalty (DV 50%), must be one of those errata things (time to check errata thread), wouldn't make sense otherwise to have mandeha's darkness screwing with himself and all the demons he's suppose to lead.

I'm pretty sure that Demons are inherently immune to darkness.

They are. Also: Mandeha darkness is unusual in that it isn't dispelled by Solar Brilliance, and in fact appears to prevent Solar Brilliance being cast.

Are you sure about this, I have seen it dispelled although that might have been due to "forbidden light" or what the +2f2s artifact is called.

Wow, so, what's a good counter vs Mandela demon army? Solar brilliance is out...

You could say that Mandela is turning the world around him black, but then you're probably going to get strange looks. Especially when you're asking for possible counters to that afterwards.

The easiest counter for a Mandela daemon army is to throw Mandela in jail, which has a similar effect as banishing someone to Kokytos or Inferno. Only problem is that later on, when he gets out of his imprisonment, he will have be in HoF and is likely to become a president and then your nation's bound to be changed in ways you won't like!

In other words, the only way to defeat a Mandela is to win before he gets out of jail!

Whimpering and hiding in corners is often recommended :P

Banishment still works well enough in darkness, I think. Or, on the flip side, undead swarms. Or get some fire protection and blast the entire battlefield with fire; use high precision fire spells, ...
