At that rate, you can forget about SCs all together, since thau5 they get soul slay. Oh the horror, two casts kill one SC. I wonder why R'lyeh does not simply roll over any opponents, you know, with the uncounterable, invicinble soul slay.

Sigh.... should I really explain such simple things? Or rather, point at them since they are well known...
Soul slay is counterable, your opponent can put decoy commanders and astral mage(s). Its absolutely perfect - it requires considerable research and there are countermeasures against it.

For that, his astral mages should be in the same province with my pretender, dont they? I avoided Ermorian mages, intercepting his smaller groups with my God instead.

That defeats the whole "kill all the chaff" purpose, doesn't it? His big group of chaff are most likely accompanied by astral mages. Beside, there is one small horrible spell called teleport. With your luck(or buggy DRN), two mages can teleport in and cast soul slay, and you have one dead pretender. I frankly do not know how astral mages or decoy commanders help with soul slay, did you confuse soul slay with mind hunt? Even worse, teleport is thau3. Soul slay is thau5. Not exactly tons of research...
