Bah, where has MaxWilson gone?!?! We need his professional statistical analysis! I am merely a student of crude approximations and random guesswork.

Thanks again Micah, once again you have helped clear up the mysteries.

Used a flightless Ice Devil, 20 arrows total: 3 "escapes".
Used an Air Queen (Thuella), 20 arrows total: 1 "escape".

So, conclusion #1, flight has nothing to do with it. Conclusion #2, I need more patience to generate enough results, probably 20 is not enough for a result with an expected occurrence of only 6%.

Well, then forget what I wrote, maybe my commanders were just plain lucky. It was fun seeing so many gems wasted without any visual effect on my shock paratroopers.

Well, they probably at least carried a Pendant of Luck, right? So that gives them a 50% chance to escape. Then they get the 6% chance of no HP loss from 0 protection versus 8 damage.

Still, you'd need an awful lot of seeking arrows to take out something like an air queen in a province with other commanders in it!
