Re: scripts during assassinations

Re: Advis again F9W9 for ctis

Poison slingers and skeletal hordes http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
A few undead behemoths on the flanks should work nicely too.

Re: Bug when banishing God via Dominion?

Hmm...seems strange. As far as I have ever seen, 1 turn after the god goes bust, all his forces dissapear too.

Re: Holy Flachulants of Flaggellenting!

How about fire 9 and death 9, then your masses of flags would be twice as effective?
