Well, I agree it would be more realistic if they didn't target the ice ball with backstab. But since the whole point of the ice ball is a big giant distraction (tell me you don't cast if or the damage... lol) I'd much rather have an assassin waste its backstab on my iceball. Man they are annoying and I'm afraid to move my units out until I have a plan to deal with backstab.

It's a nice little strategy to use on assassins... thanks for the tip. I wonder if those annoying shamans cast river of blood on it, too. Bleed ice ball, bleeeeed.

PS - if you want me to bug it, I could, just to see if they change it. Or, we can all continue to use, abuse it, and <3 it.

@camelotcrusade: Same here. I'm practically traumatized by this dreaded backstab, and the ball trick does actually help with that. It just seemed odd, so I pointed it out. But you're right, I suppose it's not necessarily worth reporting to the devs.

Of course, I use it primarily for its awesome ability to keep enemy troops as seating ducks at the other side of the screen, giving me rage without hurting my actual army, and neatly gathered for maximum Gudriga's Rage efficiency (it doesn't affect the ball, since it's a friendly unit). That said, if it gets the chance to do a complete roll across the screen while blessed, it can deal some serious damage (I play Warrior, so it has lower base stats than with a Mage, but my hero's stats more than make up for it). Come to think of it, it might be most effecient with the Skald's high defense. But I'm derailing, sorry.

Thanks for your replies!

I finally got Regina's messenger and I'm not seeing this bug anymore:

Regina's Messenger golem has no name: This valkyrie rage ability spawns a lava golem that does not have a name, instead it has a tag that says [cpn_lava_golem5] NF.

Zech, did you fix it in your language mod or do you think it was with the patch?

Incidentally, I see the stun graphic going off when that golem wails on skeletons, but they are still attacking me. Can somebody remind me what "stun" does? The tooltip simply says he stuns creatures under level 5, but not what stunning does.

I've noticed I can't use my Soothsayer's Arcane Healing to heal my hurt stack of maidens. Is it working for anyone else? I Know it won't resurrect them because they are level 4, but the tooltip implies it should still heal all units regardless of level. I swear I've used it to heal my royal griffons before, but maybe I am mistaken.

Hent's Heritage quest is bugged:

The designated spot in Verlon Wasteland don't react when you "dig" on it.

The only one working for now is the one in Nordling i think.

Turn out that the crash happen only one over 3 and expecially when you zoom in and out during the dialog.
I managed to pass the point after 2 try.

Thanks, RC, and glad to hear you got past the crash.

As for the Ent's Heritage, I have that quest and I didn't have a problem in Verlon Wasteland. But you aren't supposed to dig it, you are supposed to plant a seed. I clicked on the brown patch and it planted the seed automatically (it's behind where you find the Valkyrie). I advise clicking around that patch until it plants.

1) Soothsayer Elemental Shield did not work for me after some Goblin Catapult sent them on fire. Every turn when they were burning the combat log said that my soothsayers increase their fire resistance and decrease their cold resistance but this didn't happen.

2) Something is weird with Rage ability Lord of the North. I have this ability to deal 800-1300 damage. I casted at the start of battle with some undead. Here's what damage I dealt with it.

Skeletons suffer 1600 damage.
Decaying Zombies suffer 689 damage.
Black Knights suffer 686 damage.
Skeleton Archers suffer 2290 damage.
Decaying Zombies suffer 1770 damage.

Is there an explanation for this? As you can see there were 2 zombie stacks and they took completly different damage. 1 took LOWER damage then the minimum rage ability (800) and another took MORE then the maximum. NOte: I do not have ability to crit with rage skills.

that's strange, because the first time i planted a seed only after start digging.
And on other hand: i got on the spot right and no helping hand show itself.

On the side note: i still need to patch, got only the base version.
Hope some "savefix" go on the next official patch.

I can't confirm for maidens or griffins (the only maidens I had in my game were during training, and I haven't found any griffins yet), but it definitely works on my level 4 soothsayers themselves, and even on my level 5 trolls (it just cures them, though: no resurrection, just like the tooltip says).
