Counter to "Fog Warriors"?

[GameExtremist]

So I'm locked in a bitter struggle with LA Caelum as Arcoscephale, I was enjoying supremecy for a brief period of time, but seems he found a useful spell to stop my massed elephant formations from being brutally effective.

Fog warriors, I've lost two decisive battles, and can't really afford to lose another, best mage is probably 4F5E, thought maybe earthquake could be useful in taking out his numerous low hit point Seraphs in the rear, who are mowing down infantry with ease with lightning. His "fog" mammoths are a tad hard to get through though

Any helpful tactics?

Earthquake is good, but more than 1 is better, if I am playing a nation with high hp troops (preferably with regeneration), I love casting earthquake 3 times in the same round. It eliminates all enemy mages, archers and other chaff. Your high hp regenerating troops can then finish the shell shocked remenants with ease.

If you have 3 lvl 4E mages, give them 3 earth gems each and just script Earthquake, hold/castspell, h/cs, h/cs, h/cs, stay behind troops. This could hopefully eliminate any enemy mages before they even cast fog warriors.

Fog Warriors is an amazing spell - I know because I use it all the time, and it makes my men almost unkillable! Or at worst it effectively gives them an extra life.

I can't see that Earthquake will help once they've cast it, it'll just kill you horribly. If you can take out their mages before they can cast it that'd be good, but as Arco it's not like you'll have more hit points than they do.

As a counter, I guess you want spells with large area of effect to turn off the mistform. Anything with large AOE really - it only needs to do 1 point of magical damage (hence earthquake won't work as it's mundane) to turn it off. I'm too tired to think of any specific ideas right now though... (bedtime in the UK)

There is also an item called "Eye of the Void" which can be very useful when given to the right commander.

I thought that only worked for glamour?

Gandalf, will that help with Fog Warriors? That gives Mistform, which as far as I know isn't an illusion. The Eye would of course be useful against Phantasmal Army and the like, but Mistform?

The best counter is to hand over all your gems, gold, and provinces to your opponent using Fog Warriors.
