Answers to Lesser horrors...

You forgot frozen heart which works a treat.

Underwater, encase in icex2, frozen heart, encase in ice, frozen heart script kills lesser horrors/horrors pretty much 100% of the time. Great for when astral corruption is up. Means underwater nations can pretty much keep on forging/spell casting as normal. The only drawback is when a doom horror shows up.

I have been attacked by multiple horrors on a battlefield and accidently horror marked a couple of the horrors, who then amusingly fought each another. Ignoring my troops completely.

A combination of spells to hold horrors in place, with direct damage spells works very well vs horrors.

Also when astral corruption is up returning on any of your S mages outside your capital will keep them safe.

Good list thou.

Horrors tend to be in the middle of your army on merit of their flying, how could evocations start to be effective as a counter?

Defender goes first.
I have ignored spells that do insufficient damage or MR.
The spells I listed 2 castings will kill or one by a mage of sufficiently high level.

Unless this has changed recently, returning works just fine in your capital. The key is that it's during an assassination attempt.
