I apologize if this is a stupid question, but

What is "Reinvigoration"?

Thanks,
- Matt Lepinski :->

Re: Blessing Effects and National/Theme Starting Spells
 

Reinvigoration is the amount of fatigue that is regenerated by the unit even while conscious. So Reinvigoration: 2 will allow the unit to heal 2 fatigue every round. When you get above 100 fatigue, you become unconsious and regain 5 + Reinvigoration per round and become conscious (able to cast spells/attack) when you get below 100 Fatigue.

Zen-

Are you still planning to release a "Strengths/Weaknesses" document? I'm sure many would get *HUGE* benefit from such a thing. Myself included of course.

Oh Demo, yes, it's on the list. It's actually weighing in around 23 pages right now. I'm certain it will be the death of me. Every time I get the will to start writing on it, I come across something interesting or something more urgent comes to mind and I get distracted. Comes from not having a deadline or an editor I guess http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

I'm thinking by the end of the month I'll have the entire thing ready. Just getting it so it doesn't feel like you are swimming through a wasteland of grammar and sentance structure.

Zen - C'tis Desert Tombs doesn't start w/ Terror, though Hell knows they need it.

also, Water 9 gives +4 defense, not +3 attact/defense AFAICT.

They may have had it previously. I haven't updated the starting spells to recheck everything. I'll go ahead and go through again and look.

Water-9 Blessing quickness is 50% Heroic quickness, not Magical quickness. Magical quickness gives +3 att / +3 def and 2X attacks / moves; Heroic quickness only gives increased increased attacks and moves. The two are multiplicative. Water-9 itself gives +4 def, of course, so a Water-9 blessed unit with Boots of Quickness would have +3 attack and +7 defense, and 1.5 * 2 = 3X normal movement. That makes the unit very strong http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Be wary of quickness. It is not good for high-encumbrance units, since they tire at double (or 1.5x) the normal rate. Earth-blessing does not help much, since reinvigoration is not affected by quickness. Life-draining attacks solve the problem. In other words, do not give quickness to a supercombattant with 6 encumbrance and 6 reinvigoration, or it will pass out eventually (gaining 6 fatigue per round).
