Mendeha

[sector24]

The reason it is spelled wrong in the guides is because it was spelled wrong in the game due to a typo. Danava was also in the game as "Davana". This was fixed in one of the later patches.

I could almost swear that the manual only states that undead and darkvision units are immune to or mitigate darkness penalty (DV 50%), must be one of those errata things (time to check errata thread), wouldn't make sense otherwise to have mandeha's darkness screwing with himself and all the demons he's suppose to lead.

[Rookierookie]

I'm pretty sure that Demons are inherently immune to darkness.

[Gregstrom]

They are. Also: Mandeha darkness is unusual in that it isn't dispelled by Solar Brilliance, and in fact appears to prevent Solar Brilliance being cast.

[Finalgenesis]

Wow, so, what's a good counter vs Mandela demon army? Solar brilliance is out...

[Gregstrom]

Whimpering and hiding in corners is often recommended :P

[Rookierookie]

Banishment still works well enough in darkness, I think. Or, on the flip side, undead swarms. Or get some fire protection and blast the entire battlefield with fire; use high precision fire spells, ...

[Finalgenesis]

I like the whimpering solution best!

[Gregstrom]

It's by far the easiest. Prec-100 spells work just fine, though. And enough fire spam will hurt lanka demons well enough.

Hordes of skelly archers is probably a good solution.

You could say that Mandela is turning the world around him black, but then you're probably going to get strange looks. Especially when you're asking for possible counters to that afterwards.
