Manifestation is overpowerd.

Manifestation is overpowered for one reason and one reason only: Manifestations have a chance of attacking the commander regardless of how many units the commander is surrounded by. I just did a bunch of tests. Nothing so far gauranteed safety from Manifestation because the commander can be killed in one hit (I'm talking about mages of course). I think Manifestations should be set to "attack closest" to balance it out.

What do you others think?

is manifestation the ritual that has a 50% chance of attacking a random commander in a province, otherwise it turns on the caster? it also is more likely to hit horror marked commanders.

It's 50% ***PER*** commander. If you cast manifestation on a province with 10 commanders, that means 10 50% checks. I've never had a problem with getting attacked by my own manifestation. Getting attacked by your own manifestation or not, it's still too deadly.

It's rather like other assassination methods that way, and one counter is stacking with non-vital targets (scouts, indy commanders, etc), no?

Earth attack and disease demon are also fairly brutal depending on the circumstances. I don't think manifestation is any better.

You're only saying that because you didn't do any tests. You're going on basic assumptions of Dominions. I can say that protecting against an earth attack is very easy and manifestation is totally different.

I've had my manifester attacked by his manifestation.

You want to know what garuntees safety against it? Same thing as against any other assasian spell- its actually the easiest to defend against, to be honest.

sum1lost: it's easist do defend against an assassination? that statement confuses me for more reasons than one. What are you trying to say?

"Out of the assassination spells, Manifestation is the easiest to defend against" I'd wager.

So... where are the results of your testing?
