F9 bless and missile troops

[Yrkoon]

Hi, I am playing a Kailasa EA and I have a F9A9 pretender.

Kailasa has holy archers and I wondered if the F9 bless (fire weapons) applies to the bows, as well as normal weapons (like swords or spears). Are they using fire arrows ?

The holy melee combatants of Kaisala also have, in addition to their sword, a kick attack. Is it F9 enchanted : fire kick ?

[llamabeast]

The bows don't get the bless, but I think the kicks do. Sacred cavalry have flaming hooves, I think.

[Sombre]

I didn't think that weapons with the 'bonus' property would actually benefit from fire bless. I'm using sacred cavalry with fire bless in a game with Llamabeast and I don't think the hooves are doing any extra fire damage. Could be wrong.

[llamabeast]

Oh right, you could well be right Sombre. I didn't know about the 'bonus' property.

Your horses are still plenty deadly against my poor little Vaettis!

From a post by Kristoffer in the Dom2 forum (I did a search for "flaming hooves"):

Fire blessing is one extra 8 AP hit if the primary attack hits. A hero with 4 attacks (2 sword of swiftness perhaps) will get up to four additional 8 AP hits.

So primary attack only it seems, and no flaming hooves

Shame, flaming hooves are soo cool.

Wait a second. Now that I look again at that post, it looks like it says the opposite of what I thought. If both swords of swiftness count as primary attacks, why wouldn't flaming hooves count as a primary attack? I think he's saying "primary attack" = whatever the flaming attack is attached to.

I'll check this later tonight by turning on debugging.
