So you are saying there is a bug namely that if the target saves, the caster dies?

Re: Did you know that? (Dominions trivia)
 

No, vfb is saying that the caster is not at risk unless the target would have died. I.e. casting Disintegrate on a unit with Blood Vengeance +100 and MR 100 would not be risky even though it would be useless.

I wonder if this applies to normal melee damage too. (Maybe that explains why Kurgi has such low Prot.) There's a lot I don't understand about Blood Vengeance because I never play Blood nations.

Yeah Max, you really need to play more blood nations. I shied away from them for years, but they are really powerful, and it's only a game, after all. They can be a pain, but it's really the way to go, late game, for a lot of nations.

A game which is specifically about being an evil, nasty, megolomaniacal god. I don't necessarily have problems with the RP aspect, I just love battlemages and hate gem-management (especially with the way the combat AI eats unnecessary gems), and the thought of having to have a gem carrier for each and every mage fills me with dread. The upkeep-free summons part is nice, though, so if I were to try a blood nation it would probably be Lanka for the Rakshasa Warriors and because they still have death magic (my favorite).

...it is possible to get two afflictions off the same wound? I just had a priest get Never-healing Wound and Feebleminded off of one little red "4".

Re: Did you know that? (Dominions trivia)
 

I have seen the same thing.

While with normal wounds I don't think its possible, there are plenty of circumstances that will cause this.

For example.. Bow of Botulf, causes feeblemind - but the arrow causes damage, and if it causes damage you an also get an affliction from the damage. Its possible to rack up 2-3 afflictions simultaneously this way.

Re: Did you know that? (Dominions trivia)
 

Is it possible he was hit twice by the same unit, and you saw two "4"s on top of each other? Two weapons? Quickness, perhaps? How many hp did he have after the attack?

Re: Did you know that? (Dominions trivia)
 

It was an arrow. Someone in that battle had a Bow of War, but there weren't any Bows of Botulf that I could see. Also, I only saw one arrow incoming, so I don't think it's two 4's superimposed. He had 31 out of 35 HP left after that arrow hit.

It's turn #7 of the battle in 508, attached.
