Tell me anything how a nation like Marignon/Ulm etc. can defend against a caelum attacking with false horrors once they researched it.

I am playing Caelum quite often, but I dont use false horrors extensively. They are good for small skirmish squads in undefended territories or against very small squads having no mages for backup, but otherwise they are simply too weak.

In a current game I play against Marignon: Marignon sends in Paladins and Flagellants. Their morale is too high for starting a rout by a couple of quickened seraphs casting false horrors only, and their armor offers a fine protection against the false horrors, while etherealness of the false horror is useless against a Fire-9 blessing...

I also tried myself against Ermor: Sure, some undead die against false horrors, but they dont rout and easily overwhelm a couple of false horrors, at least the number of undead I usually receive when playing against ermor. Any orb-lightning does better than a false horror...


I feel that they are rightly priced: They are Illusions! Illusions should be cheap to produce and should be available at large. And an Illusion should be strong and terrific. If you can create any image of your liking, why would you settle for something weak?

Illusions are a powerful tool against all those who believe that they are strong (like those crying for nerfs) and are pretty weak against those who disbelief...
