Default Re: Poison weapons

Poison works the way it works because of balance or practicality issues.

Poison arrows on the other hand works the way it works because it's a bug. See the difference? One was intended, the other was not.

Anyway, real-world poison can render you helpless within minutes. However, let's not try to point out every little thing in Dominions that isn't realistic. There's a lot that isn't realistic, but then there's a lot in Dominions that was intended to be realistic. A human can't trample a giant, for example.

I bet if the boots of behemoth allowed any sized unit to trample any sized unit, and then I complained that it isn't realistic, some of you would argue that it's magic, it's fantasy, it's not supposed to be realistic. But maybe... just maybe... realism in this case would be better, and thus boots of behemoth does not allow a human to trample a giant, thank goodness we don't have to argue about that.
