The single target spells aren't army destroying spells, nor are the buffs you use to take armies in melee what you want against horrors.

If you have to change gear/scripts to cope with potential horrors, you're not as effective against me. That's a win. .

This is all true stuff. Unquestionably But yes, my point though, is that horror mark can be dealt with. Its a nuisance, and it will likely end an SC pretender traipsing around your lands willy-nilly. Just like the spells supposed too. Its a great counter to SC's. It just makes said traipsing a lot more dangerous, and it will end up making me use my pretender for other things.

I wasn't trying to say that horror mark wasn't effective, only that I can live with it. It makes living a bit more complex, and a bit less flexible. And sometimes a bit shorter.

Thats why its never a good idea to put all your eggs in one basket!
