Default Re: Trivia: How do you kill this unit?

If that's all he has...

Fatigue Costs:

Body Ethereal - 30/8 = 3.75
Luck - 20/8 = 2.5
Curse - 30/7 = 4.286
Curse: 4.286
Curse: 4.286

So his script has a total of 19.1 fatigue. Each casting of Paralyze has 20/7 = 2.86 fatigue. Calculating quickly, he should fall unconscious after 28 rounds of casting Paralyze. I don't know who you're playing, but you have a couple of options:

1) 300 Archers (or so) with Flaming Arrows (to avoid Body Ethereal) and Wind Guide. His Paralyze should do very very little damage to the troops as a whole. I would not suggest crossbows. Longbows would be best.

2) An idea my brother had was 10 or so Astral Mages all spamming Horror Mark. Doesn't kill him immediately, but will probably do the trick faster than Dominion kill.

3) I'm guessing Paralyze back at the Sphinx is pretty useless, but you might want to look into Petrify. I'm not sure if he can be affected by it, though. The book doesn't say he's not affected, but you wouldn't think he would be.

4) Along with two, if you have Blood/Astral Mages, after you Horror Mark him, start summoning up Horrors to kill him more quickly.

5) If Weapons of Sharpness makes your weapons magical, that might be an option with dual-wielding troops.
