Phoenix Pyre, ARGH!

Invulnerability is great, unless your enemy is using poison. And unless you could be slaughtering the enemy with blade wind instead of protecting yourself, when you're at the back of the field far from danger.

Phoenix pyre can be a very useful spell for thugs. Unfortunately the dragons aren't really the best race for using phoenix pyre as their slots are quite limited. Maybe with an earth blessed magma dragon with reinvigoration items in all slots and summon earth power.

Reinvgoration items stack?


Besides, these guys had nothing in any slot. They (and others like them elsewhere on the map) are my primary army (I have *NO* troops whatsoever), there's no way I could be equipping each of them.

After the scripted buffs and a few rounds of attacks they're just about unconscious anyway. They're tough, though, and I scripted fire shield so anyone trying to bash them gets burnt. Most of the time a couple of rounds of falling fire causes a rout anyway.

Reinvigoration items stack if you use multiple types of item. For example, amulet of resilience + girdle of strength will stack, amulet of resilience + amulet of resilience will not. Again, I wouldn't try it with a flame tongue, they're too vulnerable and not enough reinvigoration. But if you're going to summon a magma dragon, you could do worse than giving it an amulet of resilience + girdle of strength, script it to cast summon earthpower, phoenix pyre and fire shield.
