Oi! Who's being mean to my elephants?

.. it might be pure coincidence, but I'm under the impression the flyers which attack with claws (hawks, harpies) go for the head first and have an increased chance to inflict the "lost an eye" affliction. After all, they're overall damage and chance to inflict "critical" damage is rather low, I think I observed an extraordinarily amount of "picked eyes" with Pangaean harpies.

But it could be wishful thinking as well ..

I agree with Arrlen. I have no hard evidence but I've been playing Caelum a lot lately and had cause to get my black hawks into the fight with some frequency. Seems like they inflict the "lost an eye" wound more often than I would expect.

Hmm, I could be wrong, but I distinctly remember the “one eye missing” wound to give a unique and memorable line to the effect of “a few eyes missing.” The spider in question was busy getting sliced to pieces by my team of dedicated clockwork horrors and had recently lost his rider. I was curious why he was taking so long to die and remember thinking, “hmm, maybe they need to cut off all eight legs as well.” Rest assured, the legs were soon removed and Stinky, the Carrion Dragon, soon ruled all.

I think this is a myth. Lost eyes are one of the more common afflictions, regardless of what's inflicting them. Odds are generally pretty good that the first affliction a unit sustains will be "lost an eye".

If you're referring to the game where I beaten you, my Virtue had Eye Shield.

The game where you what?

The Eye shield explains it though; somehow I didn't notice that.

I'm sorry, I did a subject mistake, where you beaten me.I didn't edit because it could be considered lamah.
