Mukip: Please use your wishes for horrors, you have a 50% chance of them not being hostile, that's incredibly high!

I promise to wish for more Doom Horrors, but, you have to help me.

To go quickly is foolish. To go slowly is prudent. Not to go; that is wisdom.
Wait, can you mind control Horrors and have them stay as part of your army permanently?

You can have them cast Transformation to turn them into animals, but that is only useful if you want their caster levels.

O Muhammad, I seek your intercession with my Lord for the return of my eyesight
horrors are not lifeless so you could give them a lychantropos amulet and they might fail the mr check and turn into a human berserker. you could do that or do the transform thing, or twice born them, and then they become a chassis with maybe cool paths who wont leave you. wish for kurgi

I gravitated towards the Greens, eventually even joining the party itself.

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...

Apparently it takes some time for them to desert, since I got a horror by charming it a lot. And that was three turns ago. Still doesn't want to leave me. :3:

afaik deserters just roll vs desertion every turn, so it could theoretically stick around forever

agartha, my neighbour to the west, decided to aggress me while i participated in an invasion of lanka which turned out to be a scam to try and get my forces away from my own lands so i turned around and engaged him while wringing my hands in fear over his huge great olm stacks only to find his mages were not doing very much at all while mine kept dropping insane orbital nukes and murdering everything

it was pretty satisfying

edit: i think i'm going to have to kill an earth serpent next and i sure dont plan to fight fair on that front. should i just hit it with 50000 casts of frozen heart or drown it in phantasmal armies or whats a cool way to extinguish this piece of poo poo aside from blood saccing the borders until he vanishes out of existence suddenly

Both of those at once. Just make sure your plans don't collide with each other, like say hitting your own thugs with gifts from heaven or casting soul vortex in the middle of your own massive army.

Yea bring enough mages to cast AN spells through its entire health, if its sitting at 18MR bring a load of mages with insta death spells, alternatively bring fatiguing effects with it being cold blooded, cold auras, grip of winter, or the usual rigor mortis/fatigue causing items on thugs.

Alternatively just get a few thugs with high defense and dusk daggers/gate cleavers. It has one attack with attack skill 15, so a few units with 20+ defense will last long enough to chop it up with AN weapons. Especially if you mix them in with some decoy normal troops with high defense.

Yeah all this stuff works.

Or a handful of high damage troops. Or make it cold so he naps. Earthsnake is good vs regular stuff but dies to all the regular SC counters.

Spare batteries are pretty key.
Giants can kill earthsnakes pretty quick.

The snek's big trick is sitting there until its fear routs the enemy, so high morale is important, too. Unless it's lategame, in which case watch out for earthquake.
