Re: Best province nuke spell?
I *love* rain of toads. Low research, path requirements, and cost (blood slaves are cheap) it lets you lock down enemy castles at an early enough stage that it can cripple them. No other spell can be used as effectively so early because even if you have the research and mages to cast it you can't support a steady flow of any other gem type until late game.

Terrific. Another poll that a newb can't benefit from without screwing up the results with an uninformed vote.

Or they can choose other.
I'm inclined to say locust swarms, simply because many nations have access to low-level nature magic, and I love being anonymous. |

Re: Best province nuke spell?
Why black death? It hurts armies, so should be next Sky Flames/Fires and such damage spells... Does Black Death hurt civilians?

LEPROSY hurts armies. Black Death hurts civilians. This is how it was before at least! |

I voted rain of toads, but wolven winter has also its uses if you are either a cold nation like caelum or niefelheim that gets bonuses from the cold, or when you are fighting ctis that does not like cold provinces.

Good call. I voted other. Sorry Cor2.  I saw a few polls like that in the recent past and posted without thinking. I can't expect anyone to automatically foresee that consequence of a closed poll.

Re: Best province nuke spell?
Thats cool. No offence taken.
I was not worried about skewed results because these pools are not scientific anyway.
