A strategy to counter "glamour"?

[PaoloZ]

Hi everybody, I just received the game and set up a game playing EA Atlantis.
When I got out of the waves I found a large part of the coast was under Helheim control.
A war broke out and I got pounded really hard by those pesky huscarls with Glamour.
My armada of hard collected Heavy Cavalry got crushed when they got exhausted due to their continued attempt to strike those illusions. My archers were of totally no use and my Basalt King kept throwing Blade Wind at them to little effect (with Summon Earthpower it was casting at E7). When my center block turned tail (their mage kept casting terror) I got nicely trampled, and finally realized the AI has set for me an ambush by cutting me off the coast in the same turn with, guess what, glamour sneaky troops.

Is there a way form me to fight them?

And why the mirror image effect has been called Glamour? Maybe they sport their entire set of dresses in battle to confuse the enemy? Or they dress with glossy paper from fashion-magazines?
Have I been beaten by a mob of northmen fashonistas?

Shall I equip my Shamblers with Armani coats?

What a shame for an Italian like me to be beaten this way...
