That'd be one less Baal if it weren't for the battle turn limit.

Typical.

That had to be the stuipidest battle I've ever seen. The flame bolo says it has 50 shots. What the hades happened? Also Ethnue standing around picking his nose while the battle raged ticks me off. Why isn't your cyclops blind? Magic resistance? The eye sheild description does not mention that it is resistable. Bug? Well at least he's horror marked. That will make the next battle more fun, heh.

We may have a bug issue. The battle with the Cyclops should have had him blinded. My Baal had an Eye shield. I'm sending my turn in for testing. I request a hold till this is explained.

Caerun · #4 November 19th, 2008, 03:51 PM

I just figured it was luck, to be honest.

I mean, said Cyclops does regenerate 20 hp per turn. Plus he's lucky.

Edit: Also, the eye shield description does say "anyone who hits the eye shield," so maybe my lad just spent all that time beating on the big dude holding the shield instead of the shield itself.

Looking in the Manual has Eye Shield special properties as "May Lose an Eye."

As the Manual is generally clearer and doesn't include Fluff like in game descriptions, and given Caerun has hinted that he has some sort of luck enhancer on his Cyclops, its more than likely just the roll of the dice.

I also have a sneaking feeling that it might be possible that Regeneration cures afflictions? Although I'm not sure that this happens during battles.

Bwaha · #6 November 19th, 2008, 07:20 PM

Okay, Although I don't know why the Baal charged into combat. Battles are supposed to end at the 50th turn and the bolo says it has 50 rounds of ammo. He was not hasted, quickened, in any manner. I'm so confused. Anyway game on. I'm having a terrible day today, you know one of those where everything breaks, malfunctions, spontaneously combusts, ect... I'm gonna

for the rest of the day. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

Regeneration does not cure afflictions, it reduces the chance to get them though. And I think high MR units can resist the shield effect most of the time. Combine that with lucky (½ chance for anything bad to hit, not sure if it applies to this though) and regeneration - well, not much use for an eye shield against that.

Due to a business emergency I will be gone for the next few months. I suggest you set my position to AI. Game on.

RadioGibbon · #9 December 1st, 2008, 08:18 AM

Hinnom set to AI. Hope everything works out OK Bwaha.

On a related note thats two in the last two turns have gone AI, and their both above me in the score tables. Maybe I should take the hint

.

The hint would be "start killing people other than your own," in case you're thinking of a different one.

Just look at me for an example.

From my tiny corner of the world I'm now well on my way to eating up a nice chunk of Hinnom, thanks to Bwaha's real life misfortunes.
