Very short question on Communion Master and the slave matrix

[Xavier]

...and if you bring in 2 masters and 4 slaves, do both masters get +2 all spheres or just +1?

All masters get the bonus of the # of slaves. Depending on what exactly you are doing I commonly go 3 or 4 masters per 4 slaves.

At least for Dom 1, I have the general impression that you can only have one Master. If two cast the spell, the Last one should take over. In general the Slaves will just sit there, not doing anything unless the Master has retreated or maybe killed (didn't check the latter). But I seem to have seen slaves doing thing while Master is still around - not sure whether that was replay error or bugs of the program.

I haven't tested very thoroughly. Have anyone tried after Version 2.* came out?

I just tested once. There can be more than one Master. I could have mistaken when I checked it in Dom 1 or there are some subtle difference between the spell and the Crystal Matrix, which I used mostly in the old test. The slaves still sit there doing nothing.

Something you should note as you play with Communion, *sometimes* the Slaves wills it around and do nothing (Which is good) but if the Communion Slave spell doesn't fatigue them above 100+ Fatigue and they have the ability to cast a spell slaves will cast it. It's often a good idea with Commumion/Sabbath slaves to place "hold x5," orders so they don't prematurely fatigue themselves, then kill themselves because the masters cast the big spells. When using 3+ masters you can kill your slaves quite easily as the battle progresses if they don't manage their fatigue (Communion Masters have no problem casting high fatigue spells that will kill slaves, they have no remorse

Excuse me, how can they die from fatigue? Do units take physical damage (and thus potentially die) at fatigue value XXX+? And if so, can anyone say which value this is? Thank you.

When your fatigue goes over 200 you take damage.
