Nella is technically a warrior, after all....
for example, in that game, I wouldn't say that Solmyr was completely useless. Armageddon killed some of your troops.
The situation was this: I was going to attack, I had an artifact against Solmyr, 40+ Vivs, about 1200 skeletons with mass haste, and other units. Solmyr was blocking the way with 7 Elder Djinns, Nella was in the castle with a decent force as well, but it was possible to take it. I didn't expect Armageddon, and a single Ice Storm wouldn't scare us... I attacked Solmyr, and he reduced my army by 1.5 times, so I had to retreat :)
