Re: Any counter to Fires from Afar?
 

Just to clarify my research center was hit with two fires from afar in a row. Luckily they are very beefy researchers and all survived the attack.

After that I recruited a ton of crap units to take the hits so they should be relatively safe now.

You really caught me offguard with that attack though and made me rethink some plans I had.

Flying monkeys definately attacks mages (despite what the description says) but as far as I can tell never actually carries the mage off. They just attack.

Since they only put the mage asleep... no real damage is done. However the one casting the spell would have wasted gems if its not carrying off a commander.

hmm. I seem to remeber a direct (and lethal) attack by the monkeys. I'll get back to you...
