cold resistance

[Slygar]

Heya all. I was just playing a game in which my horde of winter wolves was annihilated by a bunch of Tien Chi priests casting Ice Strike. Wait a minute.. isnt that spell cold damage? I have seen somewhere that fire resistance does nothing in the current Version, but this is the first I have heard of cold also being bugged. Unless that spell is physical damage, which I doubt. Anyways, just wanted to mention it for a bug report

If you read the description for ice strike, it states that the spell does damage even to cold immune creatures. The damage is fairly low though, so high protection will make most units effectively immune to it. Winter wolves have a protection of 0, so they will be hurt quite badly.

I think it is supposed to be physical damage: big icicles that strike their targets. The fact they're made out of ice doesn't remove their piercing damage; it'll just make the tickle of ice water that occurs as your blood melts them less unpleasant.
