It may take a battle or two to discern between troops, but once that is done, important people will be singled out...And, like I said, the hero suicide thing may work once, but is highly unlikely to work twice. Everyone will know something is up, when one person (or even a small party) is fighting like an army on their own, or decimating "more troops than a barrage of meteor swarms". When under attack by a small band of people that are somehow staying alive and massacring troops and alarms are going off. Word can spread quickly, in a variety of ways, so the threat can be pinned down and dealt with. It may take awhile for a message to reach a military leader's office under normal circumstances, but not when his compound is under attack and there is an urgent message to be delivered concerning the attack. Or, the alarm goes off and the archmage casts clarivoyance or similar to see what the problem is, or a lower mage in the sanctum does so and tells the archmage. It's like saying mailing someone a message is the same as a broadcasting an alert message, to think that an attack message would take so long that by the time the leader knows, it's already over, and has been. If such is the case, then the attack probably isn't that effective, unless a cleric or mage is doing a nuking run. There may even be measures to not kill, but maim or disable small, elite groups, and brainwash them via enchantment spells, or cast imprisonment on, since the soul bind may not always work. I personally would opt for the capture and brainwash method <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
