Phoenix pyre, suicide thugs and 100% fire resist

[Rasit]

I wanted to try to surprise one of my enemies in a ongoing game with a somewhat unorthodox tactic, namely swarms of Phoenix pyre thugs.

I was playing MA Abysia that have the flying Deamonbreed mages that have 100%FR 2F2B2H so I figured that I should try to do something like Phoenix pyre/single attack/Immolation/attack rear.

I figured that those that survived the first round of attacks would start throwing Immolation, since they all have 100% FR I wouldn�t need to worry about friendly fire from the Phoenix pyre or the immolation, well it turns out I was wrong.

According to the manual every time one of my suicide squad dies they should cause a 10 square 50 ap explosion before they teleport around the battlefield. My guys seems to teleport first and then explode, which led to major casualties. The message log in the corner never mentioned Immolation so I don�t think it was that which was killing my guys.

Oh, and shouldn�t the explosion cause fire damage? I figured it would due to the name but the manual does not specify the damage type but my mages seems to be taking damage.

I attached a .zip file (can everyone open those? I know some people have problem with .rar due to proprietary compression code) with a save file of the battle. The map is Faerun 466 (no specials) that can be found at http://koti.welho.com/ehalttun/Dom3/ (btw thanks for the map Edi)
