Re: Low Cost Tactics
If your raiders leaders are being remote spell hunted to death (earth attack, mind hunt, ashen angel) Buy an independent commander in the province you just took. The purchase happends before the spells. odds are now 50/50 that the inde commander will take the mind hunt instead of your raider.

Re: Low Cost Tactics
You can also have scouts travel with the armies. Indy scouts are cheap (20 gold) and give the illusion that the commanders are unprotected from these spells.

Re: Low Cost Tactics
Vastnesses are wonderful units.
With an enormous move, Blood Vengeance... whats not to like?
However, people Gor them in order to make them commanders - so someone can move with these great units.
However, if you GOR them, they get astral 3, which makes them easy to kill via magic duel. (<---tactic).
However, I wonder if they get any slots at all if they did a slave collar (feeblemind) should get rid of the susceptiblitiy to magic duel.
Or alternatively, if you have a very good ally that would be willing to hit them with a bow of botox.

Re: Low Cost Tactics

Re: Low Cost Tactics
I think the "low cost" part of the tactic is the cheap slave collar. But Vastnesses don't have any slots, not even 1 misc.
Edit: oops, simultaneous post.
Chris is right, Magic Duel is a cheap "low cost" tactic that not everyone uses when they could.

Re: Low Cost Tactics
Magic duel is an excellent method. It was used hugely in Aquarium. First by Jotunheim, who suicided his sages and hags in cost-effective mind duels against MA Ermor, and then my usage of mindduelling nahualli to halt Ulm's SC golem's in their tracks.

Re: Low Cost Tactics
Shh. I'm playing Ryhla. I want GoR Vastness. Gimme, gimme, Gimme. Bwahahaha.
As far as I'm concerned Markarta troops are the absolutely best krill. Archers for 5 gold. Mm mm good... I've used them to repel elephants. For some strange reason they just get pushed around but still live. Well mostly. Is there some sort of agility test to be trampled? I'm not sure but I've seen it happen more than once with these troops. Anyway if you're blessed enough to get these troops, buy them by the bushel. They are a powerful addition to your armys.

Re: Low Cost Tactics
If the bug with flaming arrows and small bows gets fixed, markata archers will become the most cost effective archers.
