Kailasa VS Lanka

I probably would have used meatshields of markata. The Def 14 and low costs means that the Rakshasa will actually kill them slower than the armored Bandar, and cost a whole lot less.

Also, rather than enchantment 4, I'd aim for Evocation 5. If that pretender had been spamming Shadow Blast and instead of Yogis you toss down the E3 or W3 guys, I think you'd have seen more Lanka deaths.

Thanks for the tips, K! Actually I was using Atavi warriors in the test, not Bandar, I thought it would take longer to kill them. I didn't even think about using the little monkeys. Too bad the little guys have 14 move, it would be nice if they ran slower so that the Palankas could waste more time on them.

I ran it again, this time with 200 Markata archers as the "meatshield", 100 atavi archers in the backfield, and 1 Bladewind caster, 2 Falling Frost casters, god Shadow Blasting. It looked promising, but the Bladewind was less effective than Falling Frost, and the atavi didn't do much damage without Flaming Arrows.

So I tried one more time, 200 Markata only, 5 Falling Frost casters, god Shadow Blasting. Worked well until turn 6. Then the god decided to start buffing and the mages decided to banish instead of frosting. Bleh.

But if I research both Enchant 4 and Evoc 5, then Lanka dies to the combo of spells and flaming arrows.
