Message: <blockquote data-quote="Alaric_Prympax" data-source="post: 169612" data-attributes="member: 176">With just 2,000 archers the sky will be filled with arrows, I don't think that the archers really need to see your mages.  The arrows have to go somewhere so even if your mages are invisible I think that they would be hit sooner or later.  In a fantasy situation one can always figure out a way around 'normal' circumstances, an example would be to just have one of you mages teleport behind ememy lines and launch a few fireballs.  Or just summon an 'x' elemental to take care of the opposing army. Both sides would take 'magical' effects into the battle and ready defenses, even using non-magical defenses.  Another example would be to circumvent the invisibility- just imagine at the begining of the battle a few catapults filled with flour or sometype of powder lauched across the field, with some containers 'exploding' in mid air.  If your mages are on the ground they might be invisible but the powder covering them is not, same thing if they are in the air.  That is a mundane item being used against a magical effect that is fairly cheap.  Just brainstorming here, thought I'd throw my 2 cps here.Shark, you are a wealth of information.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> As a Classicist I glad to see someone else appreciate Ancient Rome as much as I do.</blockquote>
