Are Lvl 5 Units viable anymore?

Maybe it's immune to spells that specifically target it, but not collateral AoE damage. Has anyone tried other AoE spells on them?

(I'm not saying that's how it 'should' work, just that it might have been implemented this way in WoTN. But if it's only Geyser then yeah, probably a bug)

well... remember the armageddon+black dragon combo? yeah... immune to all meant immune to all, eh?

Not sure if sarcasm or not. Blacks have never been immune to armageddon.

@Zechnophobe: I was only counting non-summons, although it is weird that, as someone who uses lots of summons, I'd forgotten those had magic immunity, too. Still.

Actually, the bug with Geyser and Black Dragons... I believe it occured sometime in Crossworlds latter patches.

If you go SOLO Black Dragon stack, you can't "target" the black dragon with geyser, therefore the black dragon cannot be hit with geyser. IF he goes with an army, he CAN be hit (which I think is stupid).

I just really remember running with a black dragon with my armies and never getting with with geyser. Maybe it was all a dream...

No I remember it too. All my units flying in the air, only the blackies sitting there. Dunno if it was in TL, AP or CW though.

In arena.lua script for geyser they check if there are some nonmagic immune creature for it to cast, so One black dragon won't be hit, but if there is an army, then he either got hit, or there is some other script (or should be).

Hence, I say it is bug.

As someone who was playing CW two weeks ago, I can tell you Geyser did not affect magic immune units. This whole black dragons flying into the air thing is new.

Wasn't armageddon astral damage? I think I remember reading that somewhere.

Kind of? I had 50% Astral Resistance in CW and it still hurt when I cast it.

Yeah. I should have quoted Namad. Sorry. I just meant that, AFAIK, astral damage is not considered magic damage, so it's ok that black dragons were not immune to armageddon.
