Priests and LA Ermor

[Lord_Bob]

That was a real answer. Thank you. I find confort in knowing that the standard garbage answer to dealing with Ermor is complete nonsense.

-They are Prophet(one H3)

Total Number Fielded-1

- Crystal Shield(E1,S1 for for +1H)

Crystal Shield costs 25 astral. So I'm certain you're joking about using this. You are joking, right?

-Power of the Spheres(S1 spell and one pearl for +1H)

Mages that cast "Power of the Spheres" refuse to cast banishment after Turn 5. They instead elect to pass out casting "Blade Wind" against units with tower shields. I'm sure other national priest/mages are similiarly pyscho.

-Works! Communions:

I used "Crystal Matrixs" to get a Communion going, and the priests went insane, cast Banishment twice a turn, and charged the undead. I suppose I'll pen them up so they can't charge, and use this ERROR IN CODE on Ermor.

-Sabbaths(easy to get a +2H with four slaves)
-Hellpower(B3 and 3 slaves for +2H, beware the Horrors),

LA Mictlan undoubtly slaughters Ermor

-and summoning Telestic Animations(H2)

Ok, this is usefull. It has ALOT of problems with it, but usefull.

-Ps. Penetration rules. Eyes of the Void and Spell Focuses are a must to counter a self-buffing Ermor.

Yes, I was trying to give them to Marignon for free, but he has decided he "was dead", and refused to answer any messages.

Heck no. Take a Prophet, and a Crystal Shield(only 11 earth and 7 Astral with a Hammer), and a four slave communion, and you've got a Holy 6.

I don't care who you are or what you have seen, because you will be impressed when you see a H6 cast Banishment.

Odd. I find in general the AI choses the available spell with the highest AoE. Can you field a non-Earth Holy mage?

Do you have a Nature 9 or 10 Bless(making holies Beserk), because casters are not supposed to do stuff like that. Also check your scripting: communioned mages should be set to Cast/Cast/cast/cast/cast spells.

Also, watch out for the danger of putting to many masters in a Communion. Each time a master casts a spell, each slave also get's their own spellcasting fatigue, meaning a slave with 4 masters anf a spellcasting fatigue of 4 and casting their own Banishment will get 20 fatigue a turn on top of their portion of the master's fatigue.

This is a known bug. After experiencing it, I looked it up in the Bug List. Search for "Communion"

You've got a good point about the super-boosted Prophet.
