What? Lured into forest?

I had a huge army with lots of high level commanders. Then half of my army was lost, with the message that went something like "your men have been lured into the forest and was never seen again" or something like that.

What in the world is that? Is it a spell that has been cast? Or is it an unlucky event?

It's a stupid damn spell. I lost like 10 high level commanders and their units as well. Ridiculous.

You had ten high-level commanders in the same province? Were they carrying a flag with a big red "X" on it, too?

Thats right, just about any high level province spell can automatically take out that many high-level commanders.

Ghost Riders is definitely a good example. Fire from afar, if casted enough, and other fire-province spells.

On the other hand, you can give it back to him with Venegeance of the Dead. I'm just about to cast it on Arcoscephalian character who keeps on casting Wrath of God every other turn and killing my blood hunters.

ps. I wish there were more spells like that, or Fate of Oedipus and Dome of Flaming Death. There is Astral Corruption, of course, but that's dangerous across the board.
