Default help beating Eater of gods?

First my observation. Eater of god only needs ONE horror mark to attack a god. (I never would have guessed that)

It recently attacked my master lich with 12 in all paths and did some serious damage. If it had not been for Pheonix Pyre he would have died.


If you kill it does it come back? I assume so.

What tactics are effective against it? assuming no magic path restrictions?

Can it be Charmed/Enslaved?

I found drain life to be pretty useful, given that if you fail the roll vs Blood vengence you break even.

Blood banishing spells are the way to go.

Use Petrify and use the Ethereal Warriors as bodyguards(preferably ones which are horror-marked).


-- Why are you playing with a pretender who has 12 in all magic paths?

Its a really big sp game. been going for a while and I have not been nice to the AI. I have been clam hording and I have arcane nexus up. I have to do something with all those gems. Why not wish for magic power 11 times?

really I just am playing for fun, obviously the AI cannot offer challenge at this point, so i am just playing around.

Sure does, just like Herpes.

I'm pretty sure he's not supposed to be beatable. He's the Eater of Gods, defeating him with a God would just be...crazy!

Does he actually have anything that makes him any better vs. gods than vs. anything else?

As an aside, how long does it take you to do a turn? I finally quit playing big maps because I ran out of patience when I had to take care of approx. 50 provinces a turn.
