Re: Machaka in CB
- Regen is based on current hitpoints. As long as we're talking about Black Hunters, not the spiders, IMHO regen is negligible @ 2HP/turn.
- Afflictions carry over, maybe with %tage.
- With F9x9 bless, you can turn every blessable unit into a killing machine. At least, if it has more than 1 attack per turn. That only shows that the fire bless is unbalanced, not that the troops are good.
- F9 bless alone does not turn the Black Hunters into fearsome killing machines: they die to fast to do real damage. And the Hunter Spider have only 1 lousy weapon ..
- N9 bless alone only makes sure the unit is ganged upon and -sooner than later- killed by the inevitable very high or critical roll on the 2D6oe. Especially, as the knight only regens 2 HP/turn and gets +2 fat/turn when berserking.
- N9E9 bless is not nearly as good as F9x9 bless, but very good nevertheless. Better on Jotun Herses than on Black Hunters, though.
- Yes, riderless hunter lords keep their leadership and experience. Dunno if they even keep their magic - guess they do @-1, because it's a 2nd, animal form. At least the other commander which can change voluntarily do.
