I don't think he has access to elephants.

Well, he might have. N magic and archers/slingers might mean Bandar Log or Patala.
Chariots (early Ctis) also work.

Well I wish you'd posted that a week ago! I have been playing EA C'tis against AI, some Helheim(?) turned up with all glamour. I don't tend to build the chariots :(

Glamoured units tend to have ridiculous defense so I don't think trampling will really inconvenience them (though it may dispel the mirror image even if they dodge the trample, I suppose)

Well, dragonflies can be pretty good at getting through high defense and glamour if you're only facing singular raiding thugs.

Does repel damage break glamour?

Re: Glamour counter
 
So if not chariots, what am I supposed to use as EA C'tis against these glamor thingies, please?!

Poison, other AoE spells (Cloud of Death?), javelineers, indy archers, Thugs with Frost Brands.
Chariots may break glamer even if they don't do a lot of damage. That'll help.

Doesn't EA C'tis have poison slingers ? That'll do it.

Thank you.
And one other thing: I don't get what "glamour" means? I understand the other terms in the game, but what/why is "glamour", why that word?

http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/glamour
#
# Witchcraft; magic charm; a spell affecting the eye, making objects appear different from what they really are.
# A kind of haze in the air, causing things to appear different from what they really are.
and
# (uncountable) Alluring beauty or charm (often with sex-appeal)

The old legends of faeries always gave these beings this kind of power over the common man. And allowed them to trick your senses and draw you into strange realms.
