Astral Corruption and Blood Vortex are two of the most powerful global spells a player can cast in Dominions 4. In this battle, my silly army of 1k units and 174 Midgard-wizards storms a fort of mighty Ragha.

The player of Ragha is sucking people all over the world to their deaths for fun and profit with his Blood Vortex. Also, as long as his Astral Corruption is up, every non-blood mage will be attacked by horrors from beyond time and space every time they do something magical outside of battle. Very nasty.

One way of dispelling those globals is to attack the mages who cast them and kill them.

In this battle, after a barrage of 174 mages wipes out hordes of undead, hundreds of soldiers and mythical monsters including a giant Treelord, both casters are dead. The globals end.

The player has now been set to AI, since he apparently didn't want to play anymore.

Still, this silly game with far too high settings for money and ressources is far from over.

And here is the scary thing: Two of the other players are even stronger than me.

Edit:

Something else you learn from that battle: Illwinter apparently never planned for players having huge battles like this, considering most of the recording hovers at ~10 FPS.

And this is actually quite good! Another mega-battle I wanted to record ended after 45 minutes at slowly sinking framerates until the game crashed at about 3 FPS. This time, enough units die to prevent this from happening.
