So I finally get some Lamia Queens equipped with skull staves and research Thaum 6 and send them in against the undead hordes.

Pffffffshhhh. I'd rather have spent the money on priests.

Wither Bones costs FIFTY fatigue, so they can cast it three times (tops) before passing out.

Its accuracy is PANTS. It frequently misses altogether, and I've never seen it hit more than two undead, even when there are hundreds of them on the battlefield.

What am I missing? This is supposed to be THE anti-undead spell: no MR save, armour negating, etc. What's up?

i was the one who said that LOL.

since lamia queens are NATURE mages too you could script them to eagle eyes , wither bones .
furthermore give them the 2 handed death +1 staff for 10 deathgems etc.

so thinking before posting such "nonsense" would be sometimes great
Hey buddy try not to be *too* offensive. If you read my first post you'll see they are already equipped with "the 2 handed death +1 staff".

I hadn't thought of casting Eagle Eyes first though - thank you for that suggestion.

I love this game - building up an encyclopaedic knowledge of spells is the only way to optimise your play. Must look up Mass Banishment ....

Incidentally, only 1 in 16 LQs will be D4. Another 3 in 8 will be D3 though, which is better. Geo said D3+staff (ie. D4 cast) gets "~30" fatigue - why isn't it just halved, like when using a gem?? If they use a gem as well, is it halved again, or does it just count as D5 cast, ie. 1/3 fatigue?
