Routing on it's many forms is a serious pain. It can happen due to moral break or turn limit and sometimes it's just ridicoulous.

Recent example (Sharivar), Army full of SCs and ~1k undead chaff.
The usual buffs take place (AoG, WotF, fog warriors etc...). undead can't be killed fast enough for SCs to see action. turn limit comes, my army routes although it's much stronger than the lone SC it was facing.
Now, if opponent complements that by cutting off retreat route. Well, that's when things get real ugly.

Hi,

I just wanted to say I don't really play Dominions anymore. I'm a lurker in these forums. But I really enjoyed Bananadine's ranting, especially the "several posts in a row" thing. You've made my day :-). And yes, I agree the mechanics of the spell are awkward, misleading and unintuitive. That there are other ways to kill SC's (more effective, less effective...) is not the point. The point is incorrect description.
