Anyone who think they can win against this army?

Well, it's really not much more than the wrathful skies+storm combo that's already mentioned there.

True, though I like the mention of counters and the analysis...so maybe it was best off in its own thread after all

i thought it was a bit too good, since i want a strategy to counter it with my favourite race abysia.

it's the staff of storms that i think is owerpowered, it ruins fire magic not to mention the already hard time you have when you want to cast strong fire spells like firestorm, heat from hell and that other one whatiscalled.

Wrathful skies is a bit too cheap in fatigue cost also only 3 air and 2 gems compared to 5 fire that fire requires for firestorm, not to mention the comparable low fatigue cost and research cost difference.


I wanted a to see what a good counter vs ermor & my own abysia(my favourite nation) strategies was and this was it, which apparently is wellknown .

The Air-1 mage casting Thunder Ward with two gems (mentioned before by Graeme Dice) seems like an obvious and simple antidote. Then just send in the melee. No?

A couple seeking arrows & the end result is most likely a dead Vanadrott.

Cost of the counter: 8 gems, + 20 gold for the scout that walks in to rout the demons once the mage is dead.

what if he was travelling with 5 scouts? that'd be 1/6th chance of hitting the right peep

i dont like that air magic is a must

[DLC]

which check comes first anyways? if you cast seeking arrow does it arrive before the commander leaves the province or does it hit him before he leaves? since vanadrotts are invisible inside conquered provinces theyre kinda sneaky with that
