Game 5680

[Pine Needle]

3ly didn't take as many summon deaths, and won more battles.

Yes, but it just occurred to me, and oh, you're going to love this... I'm guessing the Orc moral bonus protected the group from the iron golem moral loss.  You faced 4 armies with an iron golem and mummies, that's a moral reduction of 120 points, which should have left your group around zero.  But, at the beginning of each battle, orcs added their moral bonus before the iron golems took it away, effectively making your net loss zero, you may have even gone up.

Against orcs, summon death is far more effective than iron golems...

More experimenting is in order, but I have learned all I can from my battle against orcs.  If you agree to as well, I'll leave without attacking or casting spells this turn.

Anything of interest for the mummies?

[Jon Deaux]

Pine could probably make a better assessment, but what I wanted to know is because mummies have renowned defense, a mere five of them could possibly effectively withdraw from a much larger force with minimal losses.  It looks like they can, but I did not get to use them against the really big army.

[Pine Needle]

Fine. I hope you enjoyed your visit.

Something else I noticed as well, the loss from the Iron Golem does not carry over post fight, so hitting them with multiple groups does nothing accumulative like summon death does.

I assumed it did carry over... if that is true then it's no different from fear.  Do you know if the mummy 5% moral reduction remains post-battle?  Obviously the 5% attrition would remain.

[Pine Needle]

I’ll look when I get to a computer. I think the reduction was temporary

In the rules it reads the same as the Iron Golem so probably works the same, battle only.
