spells used during tactical battles

January 19, 2011 8:08:26 AM from Elemental ForumsElemental Forums

I'd be interested to hear what spells people use?

 

Is it just me or do people use blink, arcane and spell blast. I seem to either blink

around the battlefield casting spellblast. Or I get an earth elemental to do the aoe

spell. And that seems to be it tactically, not much variation

 

oh and touch of entropy for high hit point units.

 

I'm playing on hard level at the moment.

 

thanks

elemental

Playing 500+ turn games, mana is usually plentiful, and the enemy Sions have ridiculously high HP. That time Ive used "Greater Grip of Winter" which freezes the whole opposition army, then I can whittle down their HP with my 4-5 companies of Archers. The Sions are immune to magic like fireballs etc, including the normal "Grip of Winter".

My large map games are usually 250-300 turns (Ridiculous or Extreme on the opponents AI).  I only cast heal, with an occasional range spell to finish off a fleeing Sov or his family.  I only see 44 level attacks or less with HPs in the low 100's.  High armor and First Strike usually carry the day.

I use the scalable direct damage fire spells if my fire crystals let me do more damage than arcane arrow or spell blast.

 

I use the scalable direct damage water spell if it does more damage than spell blast.

 

I use touch of decay, as needed, if the enemy is in my melee range.

 

Finally, I use haste / greater haste.

Heal, fire spells, and very rarely Blink if in the very early game someone's wife is inexplicably armed with a Cedar Longbow.

Otherwise, I put my faith in a massive hammer wielded by a massive bastard.
