Ah, I missed that. He needs Spring Hawks. Or berserked, hastened cavalry with superhuman MR... but I don't know where Pan with a W9N9 pretender would find those. Just kidding! I don't know what kind of blessing he has, but it's probably low-level Death / Earth / Water, guessing by the mud men and undead.

Well, the tide is now the other way so I have to help Arco (and I have no good advice).

Hmmm... Undead are weak against priests!!! More importantly, vine weapons have no effect on nonliving units, and charm is very short ranged, so it can only really reach the front line. So your front line should be nonliving and mindless, or have high MR and defense (for the vine ogres)... summon a whole bunch of Iron Dragons, Mechanical Men, Longdead Horsemen, or Devils before next turn =)

Ok, seriously, now: He has WAY TOO FEW commanders for that army! Kill the leaders with seeking arrows, assassins, bad dreams, bad tuna, horrors, or whatever and the mindless / undead units will dissolve.

do you have access to any large AoE spells? such as falling frost/fire (with mystics?) or even magma eruption? alternatively something with a large number of effects (read bladewind/nether darts) and as said he has few commanders so assassins to kill them or spys to put laxatives in their food should sort them out

Default The Clash

Thanks for the advice. But I have no assassins and few non-astral wizards.

Now, for all those who are curious, the clash of the armies just happened, and I have posted a blow-by-blow account (see the attached pdf for pictures). While I held the field, I now have no meat shield beyond the golems left. Pan, I'm sure, will produce troops in short order.

It was a fun battle for sure!

OK, I have a technical problem here. If this works, everyone will see a jpeg above, however, change the .jpg extension to .pdf and it should work. I hope.

Yes it works, although I am sorry about how inartfully it was presented. Anyone have any easy tips for changing a .pdf or even a .doc into a .jpg?

In adobe reader you can use the picture tasks tool to export an entire .pdf to .jpg. for a .doc you could take a screenshot ,Ctrl+Shift+PrintScrn, open paint and paste, crop, then save to .jpg.

That looked like a great battle
