Ah, indeed. Soul slay, not mind hunt.
Now, what you propose now are normal routines, and they all have their countermeasures.
For Soul Slay / paralyze during a big battle you can present bigger targets on the battlefield, mammoths, for example. Mages like targeting them. Placing flying SC in the rearmost position helps, too. By the time he finishes buffing himself, mages are often cold from spamming spells.
For teleport-soul slay combo, I often script my cloud trapezing/teleporting SC for 'retreat' or 'returning' and hire some PD in that province. Thats two astral mages who will soul slay some free PD soldiers and die, unless they are golems.
Big groups of chaff arent necessarily accompanied by astral mages, dont you think? Smaller groups with double-blessed shadow vestals too, surprisingly. And if there is a mage or two after all, there are spells like seeking arrow (or is it guided arrow?).
See? Measures and countermeasures. And I this is what I love this game for: one player can launch plan A, then second player can respond with plan B, etc. But with bugged VotD there's simply no plan B, and thats exactly what I find so upsetting.
Hope my position is easier to understand now.

Hello mr. Troll.
...
Sigh. Cicero once stated that one shouldnt present too much arguments, because it convinces listeners that speaker is uncertain himself. Alas, he forgot to mention what to do when listeners dont listen to your arguments in the first place.
At least I know what happens then. Talkers start mocking original poster without even bothering to prove him wrong. Actually, without reading his posts at all. Whole tread becomes a laughing stock, and soon the whole issue becomes a tabu, just like Bandar Log are now impossible to discuss because there's alwasy some smart face to say 'OMG ITS ALL CUZ OF MONKEY PD!!!!'
Peace. Enjoy your god-mode VotD for all I care.
