Sorry for offtopic - what is the issue about?

It's not a bug, but a by design issue... if a bodyguard dies during an assassination battle then all units make a morale check. If they fail the morale check all units will retreat and thus anyone retreating during an assassination battle means death for them.

You should surrender to Yomi.

'Opposition' is the targeted anti-magic-unit spell; resist or take damage. It's also the effect on Elf Bane. Moon Blade does additional damage to magic creatures, but doesn't attempt Opposition, if memory serves.

Earth Attack is powerful for the marginal gem cost, which is presumably why it takes an E5 caster and a fair amount of research. Body Ethereal will help a human-sized victim, because earth elementals attack smaller targets by trampling, but this doesn't help against Ashen Angels because the latter use magic weapons IIRC.

Decoys make sense. So might a dome spell, to reduce the likelihood that the spell attacks will actually work, if this is a situation where you're getting pummeled in one province.

Does earth attack or disease demon equivalent work underwater? I am at work and can't check my manual.

Haven't checked whether Disease Demon does, but Earth Attack doesn't care.

Cheer up, Disease Demons only work on land!
