yes, the cm's fly, but the storm will prevent it.

Ugh, having to be attaacked by the magical being before casting the spell makes it useless.

I will have to look at arcane bolt. I can outfit a few mages with eyes of aiming, scipt a few aiming spells and then maybe arcane bolt will target the eagle kings.

I suppose I could just land 10 or so soul slay and land a few terrors on his mammoth front line and watch them panick thru his spell casters.

I have not looked at the spell but i think what he ment was that they need to be in close range, not litteraly attacking you.

I agree with Cor. I doubt the game engine keeps track of what units have attacked what units during the course of the battle. If the spell says the unit has to be attacked, it's probably referring more to the small range of the spell.

Yes what I had meant was with the range that short you need to wait for the enemny to come to you, not you go to it. By attack, I meant as the magical beings try to attack your army, preferable troops that can resist the ebings attack, your mages are dirrectly behind trying to 'Celestial Chastisement' them.

ahh well, that is not the answer against them then. I need something with long range and will target magic beings so I can igrnore his chaff.

Opposition or control are good and they have long range.

massing arcane bolt may work against a single super combatant or two, but not that many eagle kings. What about unravelling? You will need penetration boosters, but it could cause all those eagle kings to start decaying, and you have a chance of feebleminding them.
