Default Re: Counter against Agartha's Marble Oracles?

They are magic beings and constructs, so elf bane axes, smashers etc are your friends here - equip some counter-thugs. (Bane lords, for example)
MR 16 is not that great; set up a (reverse) communion and spam control and opposition. In CBM control and opposition are also easier to cast/research, making contstructs much more vulnerable to mind-affecting astral spells than undead/demon thugs (which is ridiculous, but that's another story).
As a desperate measure, make some mr-penetrating items (spell focus, eye of the void), put these on your h3 priests (I believe MA Ermor has them) and just spam smite. Maybe set up a communion beforehand. I am not sure just how effective that may be, but if you send a BIG communion with penetrating trinkets, you have a chance to stop these Oracles. After all, they are rather expensive.

Wouldnt Bane Lords also get trampled by the boots of behemoths these opracles are carrying?

As Ermor, you want to spam Nether Bolts or Nether Darts at them until they are Feebleminded. This reduces MR by 5. It's evil, and it works, and I hate it. Once that is accomplished, destroy at will with your favorite anti-construct spells.

If the Nether Bolt doesn't Feeblemind like the Darts (I can't recall for sure, never use it!), then some Black Bows can do the job just the same, and are cheap to produce.

Which ones are the anti-construct spells? I read above "control" and "opposition"?
