Quick noob question

Arg. That was like watching a train crash in slow motion - I just knew it was going to end very very badly, but I couldn't tear my eyes away.

Is this another discussion of Bandar Log pd? Someone get Lord_Bob and we can go to town.

As it is a noob thread, I can ask my silly questions.

I'm experimenting a early game SC, and I would like to know if etherealty and mistform stack.

[llamabeast]

Yep, they do. They do quite different things though - mistform limits damage to 1 point per hit, whereas ethereality means that 75% of attacks that would otherwise hit will miss. Neither work against magical weapons.

Thanks, and Ooh I think I changed my mind about SC.Ooh

Actually, I'm pretty certain mistform "works" against magic weapons. Or rather a successful attack with a magic weapon will dispell mistform, but it will still be limited to 1 damage. If the odds of an enemy actually getting a successful attack are pretty low, then its still work considering.

On another note, the main purpose of EA SC's are to expand against independent provinces, which rarely come equiped with magic weapons. Indeed, very few nations will have access to magic weapons early in the game. Plus, if you have body ethereal, you certainly have personal luck, and those stack as well.

I'd say your line of thinking is a solid one.

Yep, you're right about mistform. Makes it an awesome defense against enemy evocations. They need to hit the same troops twice to do any significant damage.
