Re: Wind of Death useful?
 

A while back I used this spell to considerable effect. I was playing against the AI and decided to try something. I was being seiged by an army of about 1100 units. I had enough food from kettles and they couldn't hurt my walls but I probably would have lost in open combat.

My pretender could throw the spell with ease. I put Armor of Virtue on him, put him at the back of the battlefield and scripted him to cast it a couple of times and then retreat. I repeated this attack more than once. The armor got me out a couple of times and a couple more times I retreated. I whittled that army down to a couple of hundred units but for some reason I couldn't do anything more to them.

probably the 100 or so units with enough mr to not worry about wind of death

The manual says that if you give the order to Break Siege, but then retreat, your units die instead of being returned to the fortress (p69).

Loren, was your pretender attacking from outside the castle, or was he inside doing a "break siege"? It would be useful to know if the manual was wrong about this.

Re: Wind of Death useful?
 

whatever the manual says, if you retreat from ab reak seige (from inside the castle) you route to neighboring provinces. you only die if no such province exists.

Re: Wind of Death useful?
 

Question, if I break a siege on my capital with my immortal pretender, and he dies, does he continue to attack the sieging force every turn, or does he respawn inside the castle?

Re: Wind of Death useful?
 

inside

Re: Wind of Death useful?
 

Attacking from the outside.

Re: Wind of Death useful?
 

nono, thats if they die and are recalled by priests. I am pretty sure immortals re-appear inside.

(I could be wrong, haven't tested)
