I suck with Pythium ... please help!

[archaeolept]

Mages *will* cast relief after turn 5. I don't know what conditions encourage it but I have seen relief casters cast it repeatedly through long battles

w/ pythium? my experience is that they usually don't, though their may be ways to "entice" them to do so.

Well it's a nice plan. But it does not work out too well. Devils in quanity are very hard for Pythium to handle. Heck they are hard for most armies ( not SC's ) to handle.

Lol. well, surely it does depend on the relative numbers of theurgs and devils. as a cost effective method, given that pythium has no trouble forging staff of storms, it certainly can work. you can also script them for falling frost or orb lighting, or hell, wrathful skies and false horrors , or whatever else suits your fancy. the only advantage of banishing demons is the lack of any fatigue cost, which is negated if you have a lizard anyways



ooh, and against devils, don't forget to throw in a water gem for "rain"
