I didnt dismiss the notion of armies that are invulnerable to the spell.. I just pointed out that such armies arent always easy to come by and typically have their own doom spell (such as undead mastery).
The counterspells, assuming we are talking about preemptive strike spells and antimagic/army of lead, are either a ubiquitous answer to the problem (kills the mages before they even get into combat) or potentially too late to matter. Were there other counterspells mentioned?

What do you mean by "too late to matter"? Are you talking about defender advantage, i.e. Master Enslave on round 1 before the attacker can cast any counterspells? That issue is not unique to Master Enslave. Fog Warriors + Rain of Stones x4 works the same way. Otherwise, Antimagic is a counterspell. It boosts the total resistance roll to +8. Against +10 penetration that's still not going to save your normal troops, but high-MR troops (13-ish) aren't all that uncommon in Dominions. "Counterspell" in this sense means "mitigator," not "nullifier."
