Army of gold works even better in this case, though you'll want someone to cast antimagic for the MR then.

Re: Flaming Arrows counters
Bear in mind that Darkness also brings elite units closer to parity with chaff (great if you're Marignon with flagellants or something, terrible if you're Vanheim/Helheim) by halving the difference between attack/defense. And of course it makes you vulnerable to skelly spammers and other assorted undead. Vice versa, of course. 
(Does EA Pangea have access to Darkness?)

Re: Flaming Arrows counters
EA Pangea doesn't have death mage, even though taking death path is absolutely necessary. I think there's a Pan hero who comes with death 2 though.

Re: Flaming Arrows counters
I've never hired an EA pangea Pan that came with death magic. You have to have a pretender with some death magic who can search out death sites and cast Revenant, and then empower a Revenant with nature. Sucks, but I haven't found a better way around it yet.
Another decent counter to Flaming Arrows:
-Longbowmen set to Fire Archers.
Too bad they're so flippin' rare, tho.

They don't have the path. One of the most common indy tribe mage has 10% chance of death though. In the game I'm playing though after getting about 20 of them I still don't ahve the path though.

Re: Flaming Arrows counters
Yeah, you need to take death with your pretender. A prince of death works well.
