Haha, the magic of TienChi is pretty ridiculous. A remote spell that kills over 50% of my troops gave me a good grin. I didn't even realize that magic got that powerful. What the point of making an army? or even playing the game?

Luckily, I survived long enough into this game to at least learn something. It was a good first try at Dom3.

I'll set myself to computer after I finish transactions and promises to other players.
It sounds like you are up against Murdering Winter, from TC's post below. Honestly thats not even the most powerful spell, imo, as it has good counters. The best and easiest counter is just to not put huge numbers of men in any given province. Murdering Winters/Fires from the Sky/Beckoning are great army-killer spells, but they have a heavy cost in gems. If you do not muster enough men in a single place they are not effecient.

So, break your armies up into smaller units and fight on a wider front. Deploy your SCs, who will basically be uneffected by this kind of spell. I know its really demoralizing when you take a major loss like this, but if you walk away now you walk away from an opportunity to gain end game experience. Not to mention that it is bad form to set your empire to AI unless you are down to just a couple of provinces. If you are really intent on leaving and your empire is still relatively whole you should find a replacement.
