Getting hammered by a spell
Every round someone is casting lightning and so far I have lost about 7 or 8 commanders (mostly High Seraphs) and a ton of troops. I have no idea what this spell is, where it hits, who its coming from, and how to defend it. It just notifies me that a god has unleashed lightning and gives casualty reports. Unless it kills a commander, I have no idea where it hits.
How do you defend against this? I have no idea where he's going to strike, and apart from putting up domes every where (something I can't even do at this point),
how do I stop it?

Re: Getting hammered by a spell

Re: Getting hammered by a spell
Its a global spell and it's not hitting just you but everyone on the map... except for the one who casted the spell.

Re: Getting hammered by a spell
It's a global - Wrath of god, I think; dispel it, or give your commanders some protections vs. lighting.

Re: Getting hammered by a spell
Ya that was it. I thought it was an attack because I got hit by two AI's the same turn. Thanks guys. Unfortunatley I have no easy way to dispell it.

Re: Getting hammered by a spell
The spell just randomly hits your troops so the more you have the less likely your prize units will be hit. Tho I have noticed it has an uncanny ability to nail important mages... could just be luck. Anyway, putting rings of lightning resist on your key commanders will solve things for them. As globals go its more of a nuisance than a serious threat.

Re: Getting hammered by a spell
If you have assassins, you can also try to kill the caster, which will break the enchantment. I took out a Wrath of God this way once, with a succubus, who lost an arm in the process.

Re: Getting hammered by a spell
What if you seduced/charmed etc the caster?
Do you get the global?
Does it go down?
Can you kill off your new character to break it?

Re: Getting hammered by a spell
The global would remain for the original caster.... killing your new character should break the spell.... never tested this scenario.
