Re: Anti-SC Army
Im sure others will answer as you are expecting, multiple shooters with that 999 damage crossbow, slow-down spells while the shooting is happening, thousands of cheap shooters like slingers to boost the chance of routing it.
But, to me the tactic of SuperCombatant (either pretender or summoned creature) loaded with EQ until it can kick everything.. is a tactic of one large army. Meeting it head-to-head with one large army is not the response I tend to think of. My response against any 1-large-army tactic is many-small-armies chopping away at his provinces faster than he can claim them back. I especially like the nations which can field a decent sneak army. Man, Vanheim, Pangaea. Take his province, pay it up on defence, put some units in the queue, sneak on. If you arent those nations then maybe you can make an arrangment with them to let them slip thru your area.
Another tactic I like is stealing his SC from him. Various spells can try to get it to switch sides. If he has it traveling with an army, and you have some decent air magic, use "Wind Ride" or whatever it is to snatch his commanders from his army until you get the SC. Dump them into provinces where you can handle it by itself, maybe with a bunch of spellcasters waiting to cast those "switch side" spells.
