i got a noob question for you smart guys

[Wuppin]

Hmm, this is an extremely tough question! Being a noob myself, I can only offer ideas that may or may not work. I had not thought of the relief spell, that may indeed be effective. Also, constructs are an awsome idea!

1) High MR helps to negate the effect, although enough sprites will put you to sleep eventually anyway.

2) Ranged attacks do not figure defense skill when hitting so they might be able to deal some damage to sprites. Maybe command archers to target "flying units"?

3) They do only have 2 hitpoints so area of effect things might work really well, AKA falling fires and the like. Getting these spells to target sprites would be impossible though.

4) A spell that is really high level reseach but targets the whole battle field for some damages like "bone grinding" or the fire or water spells that have area of effect around 25 or so.

5) Use storm, darkness, or mist to get their accuracy down to crap.

I don't feel any of my ideas will *stop* sprites, just reduce their total butt wupping domination of your poor troops. A combination of counters would obviously work best... I would *really* like to hear some more ideas on this subject.
