Default Re: Newbish question

In my humble opinion, it would not dominate the game. The enemy commanders wouldn't route because they wouldn't be within your fear aura (AoE 37 is only a 3-4 square radius), so you'd have trouble with undead armies as well as other thugs[1] and mages. I actually think it would be only moderately effective as SCs go, but counting the number of Fear items was an interesting exercise.

[1] A flying + Gate Cleaver + Boots of Quickness anti-SC thug, for instance, would hit you with 60 HP of damage before you could blink or your Fear aura could take effect. If he had good morale (18-20) he could probably do it a couple more times before routing, too.
