I don't know why your entire stack got killed by 24k astral dmg with 70% astral resistance, that 24k astral dmg should become a joke with 70% astral resistance coupled with caution 3 (any class can take it, all my mages always have caution 3), if you have holy armor 3 triggered, just laugh at their dmg.

Sorry, I was talking about two different armies. None of my mages have caution, as it costs too much for me normally and usually I have phantoms and such to tank, so I don't usually need caution.
I might add it in though, since it seems like that would help against Ktahu's first attack.
All of them have frenzy now though.
Normally, if I were going to do a solo stack build, like solo black dragon, then I would take caution as a mage.
Well, that's just ONE goblin stack.
They still got the Blood shaman which also do astral damage.
So, my Warrior with 0% astral resistance and no caution, lost an entire stack to 24K damage.
My mage, with 70% astral resistance, no caution, lost most of my black dragons to the goblins, then it got finished off later on in the same turn by some other imbalanced orc unit.
Either way, pretty crazy stuff.
Yeah, I am not too big a fan of the single stack bit since it seems to lead to tedious and long battles. Although, with the emeralds, it might not be so bad due to the mana recovery trick.
I usually just play mega support as a mage. I really hate how no-loss impossible boss battles take so long for most people because they go with "single stack".
