fleeing sc?

Yeah, immortal commanders will never flee if they're in friendly dominion. They'll fight to the death.

Immortal commanders flee all the time while in friendly dominion in Dom3.

True. A phoneix with phoenix pyre going on will autorout the instant he is killed even in friendly dominion. Very annoying.

Flames from the sky is a very easy way to deal with a 9xx army

Depends on definition of "easy". If you have the research, the gems, and a mage that can cast it, sure it's easy. Not always the case though.

That is true, I didn't say that the casting was easy. But fielding the described (or differently equipped) wrath lords is a similar investment regarding research, gems and mages. Although death gems are probably easier to come by

I haven't used them too much in Dom3, but in dom2 a well-designed SC can hold a province against any size of AI army pretty much forever. I think that they are more effective than 'flames from the sky' in that respect

Immortal units fighting in positive dominion, which flee because of the turn rule and have no place to retreat to because the province is surrounded by enemy provinces will really die without coming back, is that right?
