Arcane Domination
 
Hey, what's the proportion of converting magic resistance 9 units with this spell? Does it affect longdead and other undead? How effective is the spell?

Arcane domination only affects units tagged as 'magical creature'. They get +4 to MR IIRC, meaning maybe 25% of units with MR 9 will be affected. If you use several +pen items the number affected will go up.

I can't think of any undead it affects offhand. Master Enslave won't affect mindless undead (including Soulless/Longdead) either. For them you need Control the Dead.

Well I am looking at an undead problem. I have 10 dominion in all provionces including some of my enemies, how well does purgatory work as I am a fire nation?

If the undead is tartarians or other high-hp undead, not so well.

If it's legions of chaff, purgatory is great.

Will it kill are percentage or a set few? Ie if there's 5000 in 1 province with 10 friendly dominion.

According to the manual, all undead creatures in your dominion are attacked. It isn't clear whether they all take damage or if they have a chance of avoiding it. Any way, I assume it'd kill huge amounts of normal longdeads in few turns' time, perhaps even something like 50%. This is just a guess, though.

yes, it should really winnow down any amount of chaff.

From what I see it's all chaff. I have a billion priests anyway but I'm looking for a quick and devastating fix.

Purgatory and for the big groups add Flames from the Sky

f you have an Air/Astral commander salted away somewhere (even a heavily boosted Crystal Amazon might work), add Wrath of God to the mix.
