Effective army for Machaka

No need to research it, it's one of Machaka's starting spells.

Even Machakan Hoplites get smacked down hard by Blade Winds.

Not once they have 24 protection from a casting of mass protection they won't.

-Destruction. Earth 3 armor defeating spell. Hard to get unless you have Ainra or a Earth Pretender, and somewhat random in its targeting, esp., if the enemy has spread his formations out.

Machaka has earth 2 on the black sorcerors, so there's no problem there.
