Yep it does, evening star makes permanent weakness and the target gets a "Magic Bonus +-x".

Good to know.

Wow, never knew that.

Me neither. Permanent? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/redface.gif

nice way to combat SC if you can't kill em right away.. send something with loads of attacks and an evening star http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Mmh, seems to me VERY wicked that it ignores shield defense. ^_^ Does it at least require to hit - taking away at least 1hp - in order to drain strength? If it doesn't (like the poison arrows) it could *maybe* require some kind of fixing. (attention I think poison arrow will get, as KO seemed quite surprised by that fact in Sombre's thread 'bout that topic)

How so? It's not like it kills or anything http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

No, no, I was just saying it is a very efficient way to render someone's beloved SC pretender or so pretty useless ^_^ If this is supposed to work this way, it's ok for me at all! Better, I just found something fun to try on that nasty Great Momma http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif (oh damn right, she tramples)

(great work with this game mr Kristoffer, I was just waiting the occasion to see you somewhere http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif )

Re: Storm Queen with -2 strength?
 

It doesn't render SCs useless. Many SCs kill mostly with area effects anyway (Shadow Brand/Stone Sword/Sunslayer) which aren't dependent on Strength. The direct damage from hitting somebody with the sword is just a bonus, unless you go up against another SC.

Strength matters more for regular units than SCs.

I just said "pretty useless"!!!

Ok, ok, joking ^_^ Yep you're right. Ok. It seems anyway something nice to put on a couple of very niche, specialized thugs... Pity not much use in SP but it's the same. When I'm back home I'll give it a try http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif
