That assumes all of them get to attack. Awe and Fear are your friends in this case. Well, that and the eye shield. |
Which is exactly what I said: defense has diminishing returns against masses.of troops, while other forms of protection, such as Awe, Luck, or Protection, dont. |
It has diminishing returns, yes. Coupled with Awe or Fear though, it remains highly valuable - particularly if the incoming attacks aren't very good. Which can sometimes be arranged, what with Darkness and all. |
