I've seen them do some rather amazing things. I once had 4 castings of Ghost Riders wipe out 3 Angelic Hosts, an Ivy King with a largish stack of Vine Ogres, and a newly summoned Lamia Queen (I remember thinking at the time that if I'd been able to script the Lamia Queen I would have survived, although it would still have been costly).

That's surprising. What were Arch Angels' and Ivy King's scripts?

The Arch Angels were spamming Holy Pyre - they were in Carrion Woods territory. I don't recall what the Ivy King was doing (this was perhaps 8 months ago). Holy Pyre will kill alot of Ghost Riders, its true - but there were 132 of them, summoned up for only 20 death gems...

I had similar (but the difference is in details) battles few times, usually I'd only lose some small number of Vine Ogres. Though I'd always have somebody spam stoppers, like swarm, false horrors etc. I don't know how many Vine Ogres you had, but Ivy Kings casting 2-3 swarms would have helped greatly to ensure the victory and cut the losses. Idea is to stop and break down horsemen's charge.
The main application of GR vs large armies I use is anti-storming raids. You cast 4-5 sets of GR and opponents mages lose their cool and start expending their gems like there's no tomorrow. Then the enemy becomes much easier to defeat when he storms the fortress. It only works well if you don't put a dome though.
But of course, if the enemy insists on leaving his army unprepared in the open...
