They exist, It's just that you haven't found them yet.

Soul slay has seen its range increased. Paralyze is deadly now.
Try the new mind bLast, or those Mictlan spiders with their webbing & death attacks.

Ok than how can you stop the pretender SC abuse?

You kill them. Been there, done that in Dom I multiple times.

MAYBE the players can defend against it, but the AI is screwed. [/QB]

The spell AI is actually pretty good. I had a couple of Behemonths & a commander with 2 lifelong contracts recently stoned & slowly hacked to pieces by the AI. Did you know that the contract doesn't work if the bearer cannot move?

Maybe you should try playing vs different AI nations that the ones you have faced until now.
