Yeah those flaming arrows would be slighly more useful if used versus anything else than swarms of enlargened dragonflies and solo wolves?

Howl + few swarms + foul vapors = funfunfun

Now if I just had researched serpent's blessing, might've helped a bit... jumping in half way kinda messed up all plans and tactics and strategies and stratagems and tricks and deceptions and flimflams I would've come up with by now... Kinda annoying really, should've really thought about how I could scavenge the situation when I picked up the game instead of just doing something. As you can see, my mobile armies are limited to pretty much only to freespawn and marshmasters, so attacking is pretty nogo.

Looking forward to whacking more of your invasion forces ^^

While a number of my flaming arrow volleys were distracted by your wolves and dragonflies, they killed a lot of your lizards, too. I was quite pleased with the flaming arrows. Your battlefield magic was effective... the foul vapors really started to take a toll.

There will be more invasion forces. I've got nothin' if I don't have chaff to spare. But, live and learn. You're not the only one who can come up with a surprise or two.

Now if only those lizards weren't PD or freespawn...

DragonRider,

I'm a bit confused... why doesn't the prophet you liberated from me have any magic levels? I guessed you GoRed him. But where are his magic levels? And is it now stuck in wherewolf form or not?

Good question! I assumed he would keep his magic levels, but he didn't. I can still make him do his shapeshifting thing, but none of his three forms have any magic.

When I first gained control of him, he was in his full animal form for whatever reason, with stealth and mountain travel. Which means either Enslave Mind permanently strips units of their magic, or the prophet's random path was something other than Water or Blood, meaning the -2 path penalty for the animal form put them all at zero, and Gift of Reason took that to be his base magical aptitude rather than his modified paths. Pretty disappointing, really.

Also disappointing: he was given a new random name upon becoming a commander, and since he's already a prophet, I couldn't rename him. I had wanted to call him Brighter than the Sun out of spite. Oh well!

In unrelated news, Zwago the Zmey's Krazy Kokytos Adventure isn't going too well. He was attacked by five Winter Wolves, which would have been trivial to deal with except their stacked chill aura combined with Grip of Winter maxed his fatigue inside of two rounds. Then they very slowly gnawed off one of his heads before getting bored and wandering off after fifty rounds or however long it has to be for that to happen. I wonder if I'll ever see him again.
