Terrific. Another poll that a newb can't benefit from without screwing up the results with an uninformed vote.

Or they can choose other.

I'm inclined to say locust swarms, simply because many nations have access to low-level nature magic, and I love being anonymous.

Why black death? It hurts armies, so should be next Sky Flames/Fires and such damage spells... Does Black Death hurt civilians?

LEPROSY hurts armies. Black Death hurts civilians. This is how it was before at least!

I voted rain of toads, but wolven winter has also its uses if you are either a cold nation like caelum or niefelheim that gets bonuses from the cold, or when you are fighting ctis that does not like cold provinces.

Good call. I voted other. Sorry Cor2. I saw a few polls like that in the recent past and posted without thinking. I can't expect anyone to automatically foresee that consequence of a closed poll.

Thats cool. No offence taken.
I was not worried about skewed results because these pools are not scientific anyway.

I've become quite fond of Blight in my MP game. Unfortunately my mages able to cast it got killed a while ago. It is low level, kills pop, causes unrest and also a gold loss of 80. Also it is earth, a path I had plenty of gems in. I empowered an independent harab seraph solely for the purpose. Cant remember costs on other spells, but combined with baleful star and raging hearts it was quite fun to spam. Bligth in the most distant provinces, ragin hearts and star closer to the borders, where I hoped for an early conquest.

Thanks, you're right.

And let me say how great it is that developers are playing ang talking with us! This game is pushing for perfection. When I started the demo first time, it got me at the damn FONT. Even that is right!
