Blast! You know my secret!

...in addition to increasing heat aura, Fire magic also increases the strength of fireshield? But it does not do that consistently. Apparently creatures with Fire Power get +1 per level of fire magic, while all others get +1 per 2 levels of fire magic (rounded down), except Chayot and Seraph, who don't get anything.

Did you also know that updating the fireshield display formula for the DB to reflect that is a goddamn pain in the arse and then some?

Same for cold aura and water magic - including the effect of the Rhime Haubrik. It has a larger cold aura worn by a water mage and it's protection changes with the temperature scale just like Caelum/LA Atlantis ice armors.

...that the Troll Archer adventurer combines a 'Fire at Commanders' order with a 30-precision magic bow?

...that 100-precision attacks work even if you're blind or it's dark?

...that the Rime Hauberk conveys well over 100 cold resistance?

...that MA Ulm has weapons which cause area-1 15-fatigue against enemy sacred units?

...that Sleep Vines provide multiple 33-fatigue attacks per turn, and often come in pairs?

...that a mercenary who dies while in the Hall of Fame can be brought back via Ritual of Rebirth?

...that not even national heroes (or Hinnom commanders...) are guaranteed to peacefully coexist?

Chris,

Why? You lose all his men, and he still won't give up items so he's a pain to use as an SC.

Magic diversity?

Exactly - some of make pretty ok SC's. Tupac Shakira - or whatever that ettin is, for example. Plus they come back with 0 Enc.

But magical diversity is definitely the big reason. Plus the ability to reanimate undead.

And a lot will depend on the heroic ability they had. Third Eye, Legendary researcher, Legendary Cruelty, Unimpressive Obesity.. theres a lot of niche uses for critters like that.

I'd think that this also lowers your payroll. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

If a single army engages in two battles during a single turn, not only will units not heal, archers won't replenish their ammunition.

Wow! I'm really surprised with this.
