Artillery Rituals
 

What spell do you guys think is the most crippling and/or deadly artillery spell?
Also what nation can cast it with most ease?

Just to kick it off, I like the sound of Beaconing.
If you can cast it you can probably cast Mother Oak too, supplying you with the needed nature gems.

Firestorm, obviously my beloved Abysians http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Firestorm is a great spell for the Abysians, but its not a ritual http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Rain of Toads by Mictlan. Why? Because blood slaves are so cheap that you can spam the hell out of it easily and early, crippling your opponent's castles while it really hurts.

Late game ghost riders is pretty devastating if you've got a good death gem income.

I constantly end up getting 9 of 10 provinces with below 5000 population. Think the inhabitants of my games has read you're bloodhunting guide. They shuffle around to keep below the magic number http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

I found send horror to be pretty devastating.

Send Lesser Horror can be good to fire several at once at small military groups, and is easier to cast than Send Horror. (Mictlan Moon Priests only need one astral buff to cast it)

Ghost Riders, Earth Elementals, Manifestations, Murdering Winter, Flames from the Sky are kings.

I don't know if it qualifies as "Artillery", but I'm a fan of seeking arrow. It only damages commanders and not troops, but its a great way to try to cut an army's head off since it will always strike before an army can move.
