Tip Counter to Darkness?

Ah. Whoops. In that case--you have plenty of fire and water mages, and Mandahas are vulnerable to fire. Single-target spells will generally target high-HP creatures. Can you set them to spam Frozen Heart and/or Incinerate, or are the Mandahas sufficiently immune and/or out of range?

If you can cast Solar Brilliance then you can cast Antimagic. (No really, Antimagic is lower on the same research tree and it requires a lower level of Astral.) Just use the un-modded spell and at worst you negate the darkness effect and scorch the demons at the cost of only a few retinas.

Mmmh AreaOfEffect, that seems smart to me! Let me summarize, you suggest casting Antimagic to protect friendly units from the Solar Brilliance (which in fact can be resisted by a MR roll), which will not only (if it's true) dispell Darkness but even makes more damage on demons? Oh well seems we have a perfect counter, ladies and gentlemen! Good good work sir

So I guess the question now is, is Solar Brilliance (+ Antimagic) going to be enough to hold off armies of 500+ demons WITHOUT Darkness? Or do we have to throw in Master Enslave, Fog Warriors, and Rain of Stones?
