Various Questions

It works on whole battlefield, so affects all troops, including mine. The question was how much of fatigue it adds, to understand if it would be effective to cast this spell, having E8-blessed sacreds, who would recover fatigue and wait till all non-E blessed units will die. Sacreds usually have quite a lot of armor, so it's interesting if reinvig 4 will overweight enough the effect of this spell on own troops, and how it will affect others.

Curse of Stones does not affect your own troops.

If I put a Lychantropos' Amulet on an undead like a Black Servant, would it eventually turn into a skinshifter or would being undead negate that effect?

I'm playing an MA Ulm game and looking at the best way to thug (among other things) Black Servants and the Lycan Amulet is objectively better for a non-caster thug than a ring of regen (cheaper, same effect, +berserk on a no encumbrance unit).


Also, if you have a scout hiding in a province when a commander of yours (with gear) dies in combat, would your scout pick up the gear or would the enemy commanders get at it instead?

Undead can turn into skinshifters as easily as anything else.

Hiding scouts will not find gear. It's claimed by commanders on the battlefield or lost.

I always equip bane lord thugs with lyc amulet since dom2 and they never turned into skinshifters.

Thanks, as always, for the prompt replies.

Moving on, does luck have a chance of preventing AoE damage like that from a Fire Brand or a fireball? The text for luck indicates it can prevent spell damage but I'm not sure if it only affects single target spells (like lightning bolt).

How is upkeep calculated ? How much percentage of the original gold cost is the monthly upkeep ?

How do hydras work ? sauromantia greater hydra has only 6 hp. I guess if they get killed, the spawn a new form with one less head and again 6 hp until all heads are depleted ?

"it still protects against spells like soul slay."

Pretty sure that's false.

Soul slay is treated as a 999 damage MR negates so I think it actually does work.

that's nice.
