shock ball + mark of blood = whole troop killed :)

How can this be possible?


[it is down in the log, you can see it, first entry, clik for 1680x1050 screen]

I cast the mark of blood one turn before this one, as well as shock ball. I expected double dmg. as always, but this time it killed the whole troop :O I am not complaining, I just think it either a bug or some unexplored exploit we haven't (or I haven't) found out yet

Maybe mark of blood somehow takes into consideration the troop size when it was cast and then acts upon that? There were ~125 knight when I cast it, then I damaged some of them down to ~83 with black knights, then in next turn shock ball killed them all (the still had mark of blood on them). in previous turn, shock ball went for them also, but they did not have mark of blood on them then, I cast it on archmages hoping it will hit them.

any thought on this?
PS. he was easy really



...I think I could just have brought single stack of vamps or (easy) BKs (I have darkness set, staff of necromancy + moro dark). He was harder in AP original, rune mages are just crap, I wrote this in one of my deleted topics, but it was deleted (my bad ofc, respect to Hanibal or whoever deleted it)

Maybe with the dragon toy artifact you can do over 50% health damage with the lightning ball, and with the spell "mark of blood", the damage the troup receive is doubled, so if the lighning ball does 50% of damage, its doubled. 50% + 50% = 100% health of the troup, so all die.
I guess its possible
