Default Re: Murdering Winter

It seems to kill about a quarter of human troops, given a cold scale of 1 or 2. Don't bother to use it if there is any heat scale.

The spell is extremely expensive, but it does give you a mid-game option to deal with armies that you don't have any other counter to. For instance, 150 shadow vestals and 20 shadow blast spamming Ermorian mages. If you do hit an army with Murdering Winter, make sure to follow up with an attack by your own army. The enemy army will lose commanders and will be disorganized and wounded. At the very least, you will catch any enemy troops that were abandoned when the rest of their army moved away.
