Default Re: Countering Master Enslave...

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.
It is not unique to master enslave, that is true, but the defender advantage is pretty big.. and is magnified the later in the game that it gets.

This is just repeating what others have said in this thread though I just wanted to reiterate it again as it is such an important point.

On a side note though, I am currently thinking that mitigation and countering are different. Countering would be stopping something while it is occuring or putting something in place that stops the effect entirely.. They do share some things in common but comes down to degree.. giving all of your troops poison resist 100% effectively counters foul vapors while giving them all 50% (or giving half of them 100%) mitigates the damage. I hope that I am explaining that well enough to get my point across!
