Spell targeting

[Psitticine]

I've had excellent luck with that spell, so it must be in how you use it. I had, in one battle, a force of a few units led by 4 spell-casters capable of using that spell facing off against 400 undead. My commanders finally had to fly, although with casualties, but I'd fried 350 out of 400 of the enemy.

Mmmm . . . Cajun-style Ermor! Zesty!

I also crisped all the commanders, which was especially pleasant. More than any other race, IMHO, Ermor leans on its commanders. That's why I tend to use flyers with Attack Rearmost orders on them a lot. Mindless troops do have their disadvantages!

I know exactly where you are coming from. Many spells are just too inaccurate to contemplate using. I prefer to stick with precision-100 spells.

For Marignon use:

Phoenix Power followed by Incinerate.
For the Grandmasters have someone cast Light of the Northern Star (or use a banner of the northern star) and have them cast Astral Fires.

Both these effects are precision-100 and armor negating. What's not to like?

The other big effect for Marignon is Flaming Arrows, which works well with the crossbows.
