Mad props 3v4jkz2 for staying in the game.

haha well when you have the nice combination of the toughest recruitable units in the game and a plentiful supply of chaff, that makes it a bit easier.

3V4JKZ2 · #4 March 4th, 2012, 09:37 PM

Oh yeah, I destroyed a Pythium army on the side

... haven't opened this turn file, but this one determines another decisive battle.

Well, everything I thought I knew about a major death bless was wrong. Contrary to the manual and a discussion on this forum, it appears to make *all* damage AN if a MR check is failed.

I don't think so, as far as I know a hit from a such blessed unit does...

(Normal damage + 2dice) - (protection + 2dice) for base damage

Plus if the MR check is failed...
2 + 2dice in magic damage (nothing protects)

Every source of damage in the game gets 2 dice added...

Yeah, the damage formula is (total strength + DRN) - (protection + DRN), but AN attacks just treat protection as 0, so you end up with (total strength + DRN) - DRN. In other words, the defender still gets to roll DRN to reduce AN damage. If this wasn't the case, smites would average 18 damage instead of 10 or so.

But that wasn't the case with your death bless. I watched quite a few replays of your eagle warriors against my prot 14 troops, and there weren't nearly enough "wounding" blows to suggest an AN damage 2 attack; my troops were either fine or they popped.
