Default An arrow has suddely dropped from the sky and...

...struck <INSERT NAME OF 160 YR OLD CRONE HERE> in the heart!"

How do I stop the madness? I am losing a crone a turn to this, and 300 gold a turn isn't something I can afford to keep up.

The various domes would help I believe. Not to mention some will inflict retribution upon the caster. What are your available magic paths?

You can throw other cheap indy commanders (scouts, etc) in there who will dilute the chances of a crone being picked.

You can also moves your crones out of your capital and scatter them to other labs.

You can research forest/air dome to protect you from the arrows.

You can cast gift of health to give your crones enough hit points to survive the arrow attacks.

You can give them robes of missile protection, amulets of luck (IIRC), a nice armor or transform them into stout drakes.

i'm not sure that armor helps anymore - it used to be that the arrows were AP, but now they are AN... which was a bit of an un-needed buff, IMO

I don't think arrows are all that powerful as it is the AN is needed IMHO. The best you can hope for is a chest wound on most SCs. Mid late game is full of counters.

Does anyone know is luck helps?
