Fighting EA R'leyh

The problem with elementals is that they come in relatively small numbers, and they show up next to the casting mage. Unless you want all your mages to be in the front line, the elementals are not going to do much good. If the casting mages are further back in the formation, the battle will largely be determined before the elementals see any action or absorb any mind blasts.

I reiterate - Shark Attack is awesome. Not only does it produce huge numbers of deadly sharks, but the sharks show up in the manner of Howl, i.e. they come from all sides. This means that at least a subset bypass the chaff and go right for the rear contingent (mages - mindblasters and the sort). Size and proximity rules will cause them to be targeted preferentially, absorbing huge numbers of mindblasts, and allowing your troops to close into combat.

The previous screenshot that I posted was early in the fight. But the sharks just keep coming (see new attached screenshot to see what I mean).
