Default Re: Hellbind -- What am I doing wrong?

Looks like you avoided most of the usual mistakes.
Dont put defense points into the province used.
Move the mages forward.
Give them blood slaves.

Maybe you could change their script to one attack (so they move up) or one buffing (so they wait for the other guy to move up) and then a hellbind.

By the way, only script one or two hellbinds at most. If it doesnt take then you dont want them wasting time and dying. Go ahead and kill the guy.

Oh yeah, your mages WILL decide to ignore the script for very good reasons. Sometimes they suck but mostly they are good reasons. Pause the combat and check the enemy for things like a high magic defense rating. My mages often decided not to bother trying hellbind with enemy high mages or magical summoned creatures.
