The Brazilian Slaughter
Arcane
like a Wraith that was immune to physical damage
Wraiths are kind of a funny unit. On paper, they can kill like 90% of every single unit in-game because they no-sell purely physical attacks. They also feature AOW1's Undead bullshit immunities to pretty much everything, so they will ignore like 50-25% of your magical rolodex, and barely feel a buncha stuff. Add a simple "Enchant Weapon" that's dirty cheap and the Wraith's dark hood made of foulest dark sorceries and pure, malevolent evil oozing into reality, falls away to reveal... a glorified T1 unit
The only reason the AI can't cope with them, is because the AI is too dumb to realize what's happening. Closest thing to "coping" it can do, is probably the fact that the AI loves to enchant random t1 units garrisoning a t1 town somewhere in the underground that nobody cares about.
In AOW terms, its a weakness equivalent to the Aliens from Signs. You know, the ones that were weak to water.
Oh noes a single swordman with a weapon enchantment, my one true weakness!
Like the world's lamest Nazgul ever.
And then they nerfed it in AOW2, making it kinda... huh, whatever. Even through everyone and his mother in 2/SM has a magical attack now.
