How to Kill the Ancient Presence
All ideas are welcome. I just got him in an MP game. I would rather charm him than kill him though. He has about 100 mandragoras left.

Re: How to Kill the Ancient Presence
What are you talking about? I have no clue who or what it is and what mandragoras have to do with it but I'd like to know

Re: How to Kill the Ancient Presence
strangish, never met the guy tough.. and he leads mandragora..
Bring a lot of priest.. and banish I'd say. Charm MR 18 might be hard of surrrounded by 100 smaller stuffs.

Re: How to Kill the Ancient Presence
Thaumaturgy 9, D7, Undead mastery
Alteration 9, S7, Arcane domination
Thaumaturgy 9, S8, Master enslave
okay not worth going to the above extremes for this but these are the obvious ways to charm both the ancient presence and the mandragoras though you should consider scripting retreat incase the ancient precense resists your spell. If in the likely case you aren't in a position to use these spells then get a bunch of mages with a few units to act as a meat sheild spamming any of the following lower lvl spells.
Thaumaturgy 6, S4, Enslave mind
Alteration 6, S3, Control
Blood 5, B2, Hellbind heart
Thaumaturgy 5, D2, Control the dead
Obviously if you aren't interested in adding some mandragoras to your garrison then by all means kill some off with preists spamming banishment(becareful not to hit ancient presence) before charming your target with the spells listed above.

Re: How to Kill the Ancient Presence
Thanks Nike, those are all out of my reach right now though. I could possibly send a flying mage in to attack rear, then cast Charm. I assume his mandragoras would "poof" at that point.

Re: How to Kill the Ancient Presence
well twas a shame , i would be careful with that flying mage though, with such high MR it is more than possible that our friend will resist the spell and ultimately your flying mage will find himself 6 feet under.
it would be safer to simply wipe out most of the mandragoras with some skirmishes and evocation magic(or banishment) over a number of turns, then send in a few mages casting charm when it is much safer.

Re: How to Kill the Ancient Presence
not likely you have the time to be fancy about it in MP though.. else I'd say take a load of H2-3 priests and banish 5x and then retreat till he's nearly alone and then spam charm on him.
Might be just better to take him out fast and clean or just forget him and focus on your neighbours.

Re: How to Kill the Ancient Presence
It's a border prov. Not important now since the "Ancient Presence" event turned most all my citizens into vine critters, and pop is now only 300. I would still like to charm him though, when the time comes, if my neighbors do not take him out first.

Re: How to Kill the Ancient Presence
why do you think he is worth the effort (loss of valuable troops and mages etc)
