Then in another battle of my armies I had the same scripting with same results. CM casting BE do not give CS the bonus.

Make sense to anyone?
I saw your CM casting Luck and Twist Fate and both affected all slaves. What exactly do you mean?
And also, both BE's you did cast there shouldn't give any bonus to slaves from what I know.

Probably, BE meant Body Ethereal, right?
It will never affect slaves because it is AoE 1 while slaves are affected only by "self-buffs"

Much good did writing the buff thread do me

You got it right, I forgot BE was not self buff.

While we're at it, I find it strange the RoS kills heavily armored units such as Ctis city guards and also kills mages equipped with armor and helmet. I've even scripted poor marshmasters to cast mossbody all to no avail. So far the only protection from RoS I've found are BE and mistform and to a lesser extent luck and twist fate.

Actually the best protection against ROS is Arrowfend.

I strongly suspect this is an illusion. Contact karnoza on this issue. He also believed that AF protects well and got hit heavily.

I have sent my turn in but llamaserver is having difficulty contacting the server. You may want to extend the deadline, just to make sure it does not host before receiving our turns.

Yes, I postponed hosting by 15 hours to be sure that everybody has time to submit his turn. If the mail server problem isn't fixed until tomorrow morning, I'll postpone it further.

RoS is like the battlefield version of blade wind. Blade wind would never have killed high prot. + shields + helms troops and mages the way RoS has done on a few occasions my armies were attacked by Agartha. Again, the only prot. against RoS the way it seems to be operating now is, ethearility, mistform or extremely high prot (24 should suffice).

In test games, I've had RoS kill prot 30 mages. Well they were fatiqued, so maybe RoS critted... In MP, I also was on the receiving end of RoS while playing CTis once. I just didnt understand how did RoS kill all my marchguards in one casting. Perhaps 'stones' are AOE, so they hit same square several times?..
