Winged monkeys
 
How does the winged monkey spell work.

It says it picks up a random non-mage commander unless it is too big. What is the defintion of too big? Size 5 or 6? Also does it matter if the commander is ethereal, or can fly? Could it pick up a gift of reasoned gargoyle SC?

poorly. moves the commander one province, as I recall.

1 Province in which direction?

Re: Winged monkeys
 
no, it brings a non-mage commander to your home-province to be (hopefully) killed by your PD.

First the monkeys have to win a sort of assassination battle whereby they put the commander to sleep with their stun-attacks. THEN you have a regular battle at your cap.

It at least works on size-three undead or normal commanders, I can't say how much bigger than that though.

Yep. It works on mound kings, for example, which is the size 3 undead Grijalva is mentioning.

heh, that's exactly what I was refering to. I used it to try to disrupt the movement of large undead armies as 'Dice knows.

I'm still not sure if its worthwhile though. :)

The wind ride moves the commander one province randomly, dealing damage that is enough to kill a human commander/mage, and those who survive the fall shall attack the province(if that province is not yours), and size 6 commander seems cannot be moved.

Winged monkey on the other hand, can move non-mage creature of any size, like a tartarian titan(which must be feeble minded to meet "non-mage" and "low MR" pre-requisite) to the province where winged monkey was casted.

I've had a magicless thug get dropped onto water with Winged Monkeys. That was quite annoying, as drowning ensued.

Re: Winged monkeys
 
If a thug cannot beat 8 little winged monkeys, how can he beat the pd(maybe plus the mage cast this spell) where he land?——underwater or not, he is doomed...

But drown a thug who is stand beside water province with wind ride might be an interesting idea.....
