Is a straight bonus against larger units or does it increase based on the size difference?

Sure he'd get the extra damage against normal troops, but who cares? They die anyway and this is only 1/round. With only a few hp he'll die to the first lucky blow or arrow since he's got no shield.

It's cute, but I don't see the advantage.

It's really a weapon for the usual size 3-4 thugs to take on size 6 SCs with.

Is the bonus large enough that kitting a Golem out with the Hero Blade would be a good choice choice against Tartarians?

A Holy Scourge is still the optimal weapon for a Golem vs Tart battle IMO. 2x attacks to make up for low attack skill, triple damage on the high strength.

There are actually a great deal of size 2 thugs. However, most of the powerful ones are undead. The dusk elders of LA Ermor and the tomb kings of LA C'tis are among the best. Yet the classic black servant or vampire lord can be used by almost anyone.

Against undead you're usually better off with an anti undead weapon anyway.

I just think people see 'better against larger opponents' and immediately start thinking about size 1 units when there isn't much point.

It is a fun idea though.

Jarkko, that is just pure awesome! But MR7 vs Eye Shield is just sad. Poor monkey.

I'm thinking that one of these newfangled swords would look pretty nice on a Wraith Lord.

PS Mplayer can view wmvs just fine in Linux.

Less talk of why it is a bad idea and more talk about how Aracana is full of awesome!

Gandalf Parker offered to host the videos on www.dom3minions.com and I've uploaded the files there now (and the links in the first post have been redirected there).

All hail Gandalf Parker!
