If you want it on your thug, berserker's pelt (through nature) & the Flesh Eater axe (through blood) is your goto items, though I imagine the berserker nature buffs in thaumaturgy could work like a charm

I think berserkers stay and fight after round 50/75 too.

Yeah, that I know. They will fight after the first arbitrary limit. But if they are the attacker, they are removed after the second. Just.. !poof!

Berserkers ignore awe? I did *not* know that.

If they're berserked, they do, because their morale shoots up to 99. You could try Fear and/or Breath of Winter, plus two shields, and hope that you didn't wound anyone with a useless kick.

But you're still going to die to Morale=30 or Morale=50 units, if all you're counting on is Awe.

Not to mention dying to any old mage with Frozen Heart or Incinerate or Drain Life.

Ghosts have a chill aura around them. It causes fatigue to anyone who isn't cold-resistant, and fatigue is deadly. Make sure your Virtue isn't affected.

Re: Awe Question

It probably *would* work, but Awe is boring compared to Banefield shields (the King of Banefires is my favorite SC). :) It's just a battle full of your guy hitting the enemy over and over again while they refuse to hit back. Contrast that with the fun of everybody aging themselves to deaths in little puffs of blood, or even better, turning into red 999s from Aegis.

;)

-Max

P.S. Plus, they can still hit the ghosts. Although if there's enough ghosts the enemy army will probably run away after a couple of rounds.

Or getting shot/spelled in the face, or getting an unlucky roll. Awe is good when combined with say, high prot and mr. On its own, not so hot.

Well it's great against indies - and in the case of the Virtue (built in flying adds extra options), boosting MR appropriately means that you can use her later to harass mundane forces who are not adequately mage supported, or just to raid on her own. Just don't make the same mistake that I did, and assume that you can reliably take down 10 Abysian PD without FR. :S

Awe is a funny trick though, its overall usefulness wanes somewhat as the game progresses, and more elite/thug/SC/undead forces come into play. But in many cases, a few thugs with a bit of awe at the front of a clash of huge conventional armies, can really bolster your line's durability significantly.

Curiosity had me trying the Death 5/Domnions 10 Virtue against independents. What happened?
Air Shield -> Attack Rear, killed by 20 javelins from lion tribe warriors
She can't reliably solo indies before you give her some gear, which makes her less than optimal awake.
