What? It really doesn't affect everyone? I've never seen that. Haven't played a lot with that many troops, though.
I've seen it often enough, I thought it was widely known. Of course, we are talking about ridiculous numbers of troops here. My own 1200 'small' army seemed insignificant compared to the mass of undead comming my way.
Yeah but I think this unfairly punishes Ermor, in particular.

For example, your 1k worth of troops is completely blanketed by mass regen, antimagic, and army of lead. Fine, good, that's how the spell is suppose to work.

Ermor, on the other hand, being forced to use subpar troops that it has to bring en masse, simply does not get the same benefit out of the same spells. Did you see that green glowing mass in the center of my army? That was the sword of Auglmalter only affecting about 1/5th or 1/6th of my troops. However, had I been playing another nation with less guys, it probably would have hit all of them.

I'm probably never going to play LA Ermor again. They're an absolute nightmare to play with the defunct "battlefield wide" effects, and I'm having some difficulty believing that they'll still be a teir one force with the way their domkill has been increased so dramatically.

To be completely honest, I'm extremely frustrated with this whole arrow fend thing. In the last 3 really, really big battles I've been in, my air mages have spammed it. I also specifically avoided using Rigor Mortis because I felt like mass flight and fog warriors would be more powerful. In retrospect, I've basically wasted huge amounts of resources doing that. I wish I had just kept my air mages around as a batallion of ICBMs with seeking arrow instead of trying to do anything else with them.
