Ermor is upon me!

Firestorm sounds like the way to go.

I did not go for SCs yet, as I thought that every good SC needs his lifeleech weapon, and as you can't leach from undead, I thought it better focus on hoarding demons. It worked really well until the darkness came

Thats what I love about Dominions... there is always something to turn the tide!

you can leech from soulgates undeads, they aren´t lifeless.

Firekings seem to work particularly well, even without lifedrainers. They make great firestorm casters too.

Dont give up on the Demons just yet either. He cant be casting Darkness everywhere all the time. So make use of the demons' flying ability and send them out raiding. Like 10-15 demons per group should be near unstoppable to any PD/freespawns. Get in there and wreck up his gem supply.

As for undead killer SCs: yeah you can make them. They just need to have regen (and reinvig too if they arent enc 0) items. Demon Whip + Charcoal Shield sounds like a fun combo too - watch all the undead just light on fire.

Raiding sounds good, but he is madcastleing (building fortifications in every province), so there is no real gain - he does not even have PD I could destroy.

Not sure about the map but look for choke-points if they exist.

Can you tell us more about your current position.
Current Globals?
Map being played?
SC's being played on each side?
What's the majority of his armies?
Current gems stored?
Your Pretenders character?
Anything else you think is important?

We are playing Orania, so there are not many choke points available. Not that it would matter, as he is three turns away from my capital.

For SCs - He had a large host of wraith lords fully equiped, but they did not survive their first encounter with one of my devil armies. Whats left there is Klakuk the most feared manslayer, a wraith centurion and his prophet, but I don't think that he is much of a threat.

On my part - well, I lost nearly everything in that battle. I have one ice devil taking aquatic provinces on the other side of the world. My pretender is a great warlock, so he has no potential.

The best thing is that he was trying to move his ghost king pretender with some 200 wraiths trough stygian pathes and lost all of them.

Globals: Looming hell on my part
2 enchantments from atlantis noone cares about
nothing from him, as his pretender died. ( He had well of missery and Burden of time from time to time, although I always dispelled it the next turn)

I'd be interested to hear how it turns out.

[shovah]

is he alchimizing to get castles? i think he must be. try to scout his provinces with the most gem income and take them with stealthy armies and flyers, this will cut his summoning and alchemy and allow you to take chunks out of both types of his income. what paths does your great warlock have?

That's good I've seen some really ugly SCs from Ermor.

Sounds like there's no SCs on either side... usually I create some for surprise attacks on the armies which are weak swarms.

OH MY WORD !.... yes that spell is busted. Last time I used the spell it told me I lost 9_million units. Obviously busted since the game can't have that many units which can exist on a map... with that spell only my pretender(bog_mummy) survived at 1_hitpoint remaining and he had over 100_hitpoints before casting the spell. Yes on the global map it showed him with 1_hitpoint inside my domain. Never use that spell.

If your domain candles are still high and strong then Purgatory can really kick his armies in the balls. Also finish researching to the unique construction items... some of these uniques will give your kingdom a second gust of strength. Also Flames from the Sky can also kick his big armies down... once you reach this spell.

the unquenched sword is fun, watching all those little guys go on fire is fun
