Final Newbie Question (or compilation of questions!)

[happygeek]

Thank you!
I'll try to keep this short and to the point:
- WHy does "shroud" help old warlocks?
- What are the chances of Growth scales not giving old-age afflictions? Does that help a lot?
- So being unconscious doesnt actually drop your defense and attack to 0 like if you are paralyzed?
- Will growth scales counteract LA Ryleh population kill?
- Gave my warlocks a Dwarven Hammer, but still use 100% of slaves in forging. Does blood not count in forge bonus or are warlocks bugged?
- I gave my Abysian Assassin two Fire Bolas, but he didnt seem to use even one of them, just stood there and got killed. Can you not dual-wield single-handed weapons?
- I see a lot of units with darkvision. Is that ever actually useful?

THank you!

Being unconscious or paralysed is worse than having 0 attack as you don't attack at all. 0 attack can still hit if you're lucky.
Fire bolas are ranged weapons. I'm not sure you can use two ranged weapons at once. It's quite normal that assassin won't move with ranged weapons, but he should throw it.
