Default Re: Leveraging Magic Bows

I was attacked in a recent game by massed BoW, banefire bow wielding Banes from MA Ermor. The player was using Banes to cart most of his undead hordes around, so he needed quite a few of them, and they don't really have much to do once the battle starts. In a 5-10K unit army, I would usually see 10-12 Banes carrying bows of war or banefire bows. Their effectiveness in those numbers was actually quite good. Just like having a mass of archers along.

Granted, this is an extreme example, and it was very late game, but the tactic worked well. I would occasionally have a unit that could cast arrow fend, or storm, in the battle, but often I did not have one available.
