Joonie Questions Here

[Teleolurian]

Oooh... I have a Joonie Question:

Which combat phase activates first, commander magic or commander shooting?

Sub-question that this question is really asking: Can I shoot a mage with my commander before he can zap me?

Sub-sub-question about why this all matters: Can I get the Bow of Botulf off before I can get magic-duelled? Is this an effective counter?

Keep in mind that only astral mages can be magic dueled. Anyone (edit: with a mind) can be mind-burnt, though.

But, I think your question may imply a slight misunderstanding of the engine. Combat is staged in alternating turns, right side - left side - right side - left side, and so forth. So, the attacker will always go second in normal combat, after all the defending units take their turn.

Assassination attempts and scouts being discovered may be a little different; I'm not sure. In the arena, I think it's random who gets which side.

Defender allways goes first.

LOL, a level 42 water mage pretender really does sickening damage with Niefel flames.

I have to assume that Joonie is disturbed.

ROFL. It was turn 471 on the biggest map. I have had the AI players pretty much beat for over 100 turns so I just decided to kinda sit and see how much I can empower my pretender, LOL.
