- She is already horror marked. Spam more horrors. One of the Twin Spears can cast "Lesser Horror" in battle, Oath Rod of Kurgi gives more Horrors Marks. Combine with Quickness / Boots of Quickness for two lesser horrors per turn in battle.

- Sceptre of Corruption again coupled with Quickness. She has good regen, but not that many HPs.

- Gifts from Heaven.

Re: How do I kill a water queen?
 
Some of your suggestions would simply take a lot of testing. There's too many variables, too many unknowns for your suggestions to be valid, such as:

-Horrors might get killed from medusa shield
-Gift of heavens is too inaccurate
-Gift of heavens casters are hard to get in numbers
-Gift of heavens may not be casted after script is over

The only suggestion that I think may have a decent chance is the sceptre of corruption. However, for this situation, I don't actually have access to blood magic.

BUT LIKE I SAID! I don't need anymore suggestions! I'll reveal my plan after it has been executed.

EDIT: Lol, I just did a test with the sceptre of corruption. There's no way it would work. I bet a group of mages casting banefire would work though. However, the problems are pretty much exactly like the problems of Gift of Heavens.

Cast windguide or the like before casting gifts from heaven.

Argitoth, it is humorous to see you try to stop the inflow of good ideas.

I feel bad for your predicament so maybe people can help you throw your enemy off the trail by giving you some bad ideas...

I got it! Hire like 300 militia to attack her! Problem solved!

Indeed that would be good. Also, I never send a mage anywhere without gouging out their eye for eye of aiming. It's defintely a good idea if you had a mage with air, earth, and astral.

(of course for my situation, I don't have a mage like that.)

Medusa shield will pose a problem for this idea.

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif Yep, I can't wait to reveal my plans after I kill the water queen. Everyone will be surprised... well not everyone. There's one suggestion in here so far that BARELY HINTS at my strategy.

I'm sure you can mindhunt her with your astral mages. I built some nearly unbeatable SC (king of Banfire and Air Queen + Earth King) in a previous MP game, after 20 or so mindhunts they evaporated from the face of the earth.

And, how about blood spell life for a life? never tested this on a SC with MR of 20, but it's a very potent spell.

Combining both Pixas and Proxas axes of rulership should allow you to disarm the waterqueen.

I don't understand this "I have access to any spells or items, but I don't have any armies", especially with the implied "she kills my armies, but my battle-mages aren't where she fights". Any items? Make twenty-something Rods of the Phoenix, Vision's Foes, Piercers, Black Bows of Botulf etc, keep an A2 mage in lab. Teleport the air mage to somewhere, and move magically armed commanders, where you think she's moving, and cast Wind Guide and let fly. If she didn't attack, instantly move the items elsewhere through your network of laboratories.
