Re: Repel mechanics. How exactly it works?
 

It seems, though I am not sure, that this penalty isn't working properly with mindless units.

Re: Repel mechanics. How exactly it works?
 

It really doesn't seem like it's working properly, when 20 swarm insects attack the opponent and 20 are killed.

That would certainly make the Stone Sword, Sun Slayer, Shadow Brand, etc., exceedingly strong. Every time you attack Baron X the Gargoyle, he gets a repel roll and you (and the other five squares around you) have to roll MR or turn to stone. Ouch.

Or, without Cons 8, Wailing Ladies -- area-1 length-6 "save or die" attack. :p

It'd also be a bit ugly with the Devourer of Souls.

You may have noticed the "some" http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif It would make AoE weapons really nasty - too powerful obviously.

Clearly the game is crying out, absolutely screaming, for a #repeleffect mod command http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

I understand that Johan is on something of a roll in the adding fun/useful mod commands department at present.

Then someone could go through and add a #repeleffect to every weapon in the game. I volunteer .... someone else http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif

Re: Repel mechanics. How exactly it works?
 

But how do you explain the 20 dragonflies that attack and are all destroyed by one defender? Clearly the repeller's Attack is not being lowered for each attempt, or successful repel. It seems like a pretty clear case of being a bug.

Re: Repel mechanics. How exactly it works?
 

If you mod the Dragonflies by giving then non-50 morale, they won't all die. It has something to do with Mindlessness, but I don't know what, exactly.

Re: Repel mechanics. How exactly it works?
 

I believe in the manual, it says that the morale check comes before the damage check. If they fail the morale roll, they won't be repelled with damage because they don't attack? Dunno.

Re: Repel mechanics. How exactly it works?
 

The manual doesn't mention mindlessness. It seems like it's an exception to te normal rule. I found this out when I modded the Dragonflies by giving then non-50 morale, and they ddidn't all die.

You know, that gave me an idea...
