HELP!! Being attacked by a disco ball!!!
New-ish to the game here. I am currently in the midst of a very successful Baron playthrough (Enormous map size, King difficulty, Monarchy age.) I have kinged my baron, I have great map control with many strategic castle placements, a decent economy, etc… There is only one problem… I am currently getting railroaded by a doomstack containing no less than 8 (10?) duplicates of a master illusionist with level 3 spells. He only has two rows of melee, but I just can’t fight this thing even with an utterly massive army. Turn one of the battle and my screen is getting lit up with mass sleep spells. All of my units are asleep. I can’t get more than one of them with a lucky ballista shot (I have 20+ ballistae behind a wall of melee units, including giant crabs) before I am completely screwed. How do I even counter this? I have multiple level 2 mages with meteor, soul slay, and anti-magic amulets, but I’m not sure they will be able to withstand the sheer volume of spells.
I thought that I might be to win if I could use my seige units. I can’t seem to bait the AI into a siegable structure, so I can’t treb them down either.
There are a Tatsu and a Beholder I could try to mind control, but I doubt this will work because of their high magic resistance.
Advice??? How does one overcome the master illusionist death stack??
