Rain of toads and moving armies

[kasnavada]

Does it work if I target an army that is moving ? Targetting the place where it comes from ? Or should I target the place where it's going to ?

There's a list of what happens in what order each turn.

The magic casting phase always happens before regular army movement, so you'll hit a normal army before it moves with something like rain of toads, fires from afar, or murderous winter.

I think that stealth armies might be a little different.

Well the spell description specifically mentions "stationed" so I wondered if the regular disease effect would have been changed by it.

It shouldn't. I'm 99% certain it just means "armies in the province" when it says stationed.

Good !

Target the province it's in. Magic happens before physical movement, so the only way for it to avoid the spell is to Astral Gate/Stygian Paths/etc. out (which will rarely happen) before you cast the spell. IIRC, casting order is random, so you've got a 50% chance of getting him before he teleports even if he does try this.
