EA Game: Where are the Gnomes?

[Knai]

By which we mean about three whole crushers who hold off the elephant army while a few mages blast them from the back lines. Or, if you are too cheap for that, a whole bunch of slingers or archers blast them from the back lines. Soul slay is a great spell, if you have Panic you are even better off, elephant retreats are hilarious.

Of course, there are ways around any of this. The crusher strategy stops working once your opponent starts bringing in the mages and giving the elephants flight en mass, anyone able to cast soul slay is able to be on the receiving end of magic duel, slingers or archers are rendered largely irrelevant by stone skin, iron skin, whatever, and Panic can be held off by a priest spamming Sermon of Courage, assuming you don't have someone there capable of using Fanaticism instead.
