Re: Winning w/o a SC???

Mostly? Can you elaborate a bit for me?
Massed crossbows (or arbalests for Ulm) is one counter that doesn't involve mages, though the spell Wind Guide would make it more effective, as would Flaming Arrows if the target SC isn't 100% fire resistant. Very high protection or air shield will make crossbows uneffective though, and a slowly moving army can have problems catching the SC.
Flying troops can be good against SCs that need to cast spells to make themselves ready for combat, since they strike at the SC before it has a chance to boost itself with magic.
