A simple tactic, in which a hero with good magical capabilities and knowledge of the [[Armageddon]] spell uses a force composed of any combination of [[Black Dragon]]s, [[Gold Dragon]]s, [[Phoenix]]es, [[Magic Elemental]]s, [[Fire Elemental]]s, [[Magma Elemental]]s, [[golems]] and [[Efreet]]i. Every non-trivial fight, the Hero(ine) casts Armageddon, damaging his enemy while his own units are unhurt because they are immune or highly [[Magic Resistance|resistant]] to the effects. For this to be successful, the force should include Phoenixes, Efreeti or either Dragon, both to ensure high [[speed]] and therefore high initiative and to be able to handle enemy units immune to Armageddon. Can get real nasty if the Hero gets his/her hands on the [[Shackles of War]].
'''Dragogeddon''' is a name for unofficial tactical maneuver. It needs a hero with very high [[Primary skill#power_skill|power skii]], good [[[[Primary skill#knowledge_skill|knowledge]] for reasonable high mana points and [[armageddon]] spell.

The best creatures for this tactics are [[black dragon]]s, [[gold dragon]]s, [[phoenix]]es, [[magic elemental]]s, [[fire and magma elemental]]s or [[efreeti sultan]]s.
