Thanks for the answers.

I learned something http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Hope others did too.

Re: Making effective use of commanders

For the Pythium Hyrdas, their Hydra Tamers have one benefit over most commanders.

They're completely poison immune.
The Hydra poison cloud won't affect them

One reason they don't have them in Serpent Cult. The Serpent Priest is immune to poison, so he takes that role, iirc.

That's actually a morningstar but close enough. Are you sure the flail gets an advantage vs shields? <hr /></blockquote>Ya it's called a morningstar, though non-game sources tend to use "morningstar" to mean a style of spiked mace, while the weapon many games call a "morningstar" is generally called a "mace and chain" so it's a bit confusing. Just me being a stick in the mud.

I am pretty sure both weapons should and do get the "#flail" bonus against shields.
