Default Does Foul Vapors affect units /w 100% poison res?

Does Foul Vapors affect units /w 100% poison resistance.
I would assume so but there are exceptions to every rule.

Thanks,
Chris

10% chance of being affected by 5 AN poison damage. Poison immune units are immune to poison damage AFAIK, so I think they are immune to Foul Vapors.

Why was it a waste?

5 AN poison damage to 10% of units, every turn. It will cause lots of norale checks, at least. it can kill 10-hp units and weaken anything. It can deal damage to things otherwise hard to damage, like Vanir and mages. However, I don't think there's any totally poison-immune race, so everybody needs to use it with Poison Ward or something.

The paths needed took some work to get to. And then when you did, you still needed a poison immune army to keep the enemy on the battlefield because Foul Vapors works so slowly. Unlike, for example, Wrathful Skies which works quickly so you need only send the mage alone.

Well my lvl 4 air mage with bag of winds, air helm and boots of the messenger got killed by a unexpected foul vapours recently. Along with a dozen plus troops. Also its made me script poison resist until I can get a snake rings to my squad of lvl 4 air mages.

Useless? Definitely not, well worth using every now and again to keep an enemy off balance.

Undead are a totally poison-immune race. I think every undead unit has 100% PR, 100% CR as well...errrm...game winning strategy in there somewhere...
