Flaming Arrows counters

[elbnar]

Fliers set to Attack Archers
Thug armies - plenty of items grant fire resistance
Air bless
or, uh... play as Abysia

I agree, it sucks to have that spell used against you

[MaxWilson]

Rain does not affect arrows, it just reduces heat effects, doubles Fire spell costs, and doubles flier fatigue. Interestingly, Acid Rain does none of these things.

Indeed darkness works extremely well, in my previous mp game those 3-4 dozen archers practically missed everything, even in very short range. If you are playing air nation use Mist + Storm, pretty much making them useless, also cast Mass Flight on your army and kick their asses.

If playing astral cast Will of Fate, maybe cast Solar Brilliance if you are desperate? Warrior of Muspelheim if you have fire.
