cold resistance

[Slygar]

Heya all. I was just playing a game in which my horde of winter wolves was annihilated by a bunch of Tien Chi priests casting Ice Strike. Wait a minute.. isnt that spell cold damage? I have seen somewhere that fire resistance does nothing in the current Version, but this is the first I have heard of cold also being bugged. Unless that spell is physical damage, which I doubt. Anyways, just wanted to mention it for a bug report http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

The damage is fairly low though, so high protection will make most units effectively immune to it. Winter wolves have a protection of 0, so they will be hurt quite badly.

I think it is supposed to be physical damage: big icicles that strike their targets. The fact they're made out of ice doesn't remove their piercing damage; it'll just make the tickle of ice water that occurs as your blood melts them less unpleasant. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif
