Horror Mark, Astral Geysir: I am not sure this works, but I think it does. If your opponent is casting lesser horror at you 2x - horror mark one (no mr)

I have tried to keep these approximately the same level as the originating spell.

Comments welcome.

You forgot frozen heart which works a treat.

Underwater, encase in icex2, frozen heart, encase in ice, frozen heart script kills lesser horrors/horrors pretty much 100% of the time. Great for when astral corruption is up. Means underwater nations can pretty much keep on forging/spell casting as normal. The only drawback is when a doom horror shows up.

I have been attacked by multiple horrors on a battlefield and accidently horror marked a couple of the horrors, who then amusingly fought each another. Ignoring my troops completely.

A combination of spells to hold horrors in place, with direct damage spells works very well vs horrors.

Also when astral corruption is up returning on any of your S mages outside your capital will keep them safe.

Good list thou.

Horrors tend to be in the middle of your army on merit of their flying, how could evocations start to be effective as a counter?

Re: Answers to Lesser horrors...
 

Defender goes first.
I have ignored spells that do insufficient damage or MR.
The spells I listed 2 castings will kill or one by a mage of sufficiently high level.

Re: Answers to Lesser horrors...
 

Fireballs, etc. will in all probability miss. Lightnings may be better...

Re: Answers to Lesser horrors...
 

That all depends on how many mages and horrors there are.
One lightning or frozen heart won't kill them, several will.
However several lightning or frozen heart won't kill several horrors since they won't be aiming at the same horror and they have a life drain attack.
I'd say horror mark is the best if multiple horrors are being sent,
however I won't be sending horrors against your large armies with mages, I have something much better planned for that. :)

Thanks for the heads up.

All I'm supposed to do is last 3 turns. Then we have a surprise for you =).

Re: Answers to Lesser horrors...
 

Is Cold Blast actually a spell? I don't remember it. Also you have it in there twice.

Re: Answers to Lesser horrors...
 

Cold blast? Sure. It's a short range aoe1 cold bolt type attack. Pretty annoying when a group of random mages default to it blasts your elite guys.

Re: Answers to Lesser horrors...
 

Ah, okay, thanks.

Unless this has changed recently, returning works just fine in your capital. The key is that it's during an assassination attempt.

My God! How many turns I have wasted moving out of my capitol so I'd be 'safe' scripting returning when AC is up. I should have just tried it, but never had the guts.

Thanks Jazzepi.

Re: Answers to Lesser horrors...
 

Perhaps its just a clever ploy =)

Re: Answers to Lesser horrors...
 

Yeah, Micah recently made me believe it works with assassinations. I was wary of it before.

There is no escape from Horrors. IÄ! IÄ!!!

Bill Gates. The horror... the horror...

Re: Answers to Lesser horrors...
 

Open up your windows and behold the never ending vista of horrors. There in the distance, can you see? 95, maybe even 98, demons of unimaginable terror, all led by their crazed taskmaster sprung from the gates of corruption over a millennium ago. Watch as he swings his terrifying bill, converting thousands to his evil cause. Only legendary heroes such as Mac and Linus dares defy him. Will they survive the 7 years of plague that is to come? Only time will tell.
