1683: When you've seen a turn where a Wose with 1 HP survives an attack by six Dwarvish fighters. (I haven't, but closest is today, when I saw a Wose getting out of a fight almost unscathed against six undead units)

What sort of undead units? Woses are resistant to skeleton damage right?
I suppose this was during the day, when the undead can't do much?

A Wose with 1 hp surviving 6 attacks of any kind is impressive, given how low their dodge rate is. It would be extremely improbable.

And with only 1 hp left, ToD and resistances don't matter any more. Any attack will do; it just has to land a blow.



Unless of course he's talking about a Wose which ended the turn on 1 HP, and started with more, in which case it's not so surprising any more. Such things happen. I can easily imagine 6 UD units attacking a high-HP Wose and failing to kill it, leaving it with a single hit point.

Oh actually it was night-time, and there was like a Wraith, 2 Skeleton archers and I don't remember the other 3. The Wose came out almost unscathed as in only getting hit once or twice and it was on a hill. I got accused of cheating :cry:

And thanks for explaining my post Scrim XD I meant that the Wose ends a turn with 1HP (He had to be damaged in the previous turn for the benefits of regeneration to be neutralised) with the undead playing his turn next.

Seriously? A Wraith at night against a Wose on a hill? That's amazing... I'm not surprised you got accused of cheating. I'm not saying you were, just saying that's the beauty of the RNG. Woses are vulnerable to arcane right? I hope that none of the attacks were magical or that would be really saying something.

If you'd been playing long enough, you'd realize that none of those units in fact had magical attacks.

I remember the first version I played was 1.3.4, do you remember when that was?

He was desperate. Me and my allies were winning, so he tried to take away my best unit: My Elder Wose. He was desperate :lol2: . So he sent in everything he got against it. I remember now. It was a Wraith, 2 Skeleon Archers, a Dark Adept and maybe a Skeleton(not sure about this. Could be a Ghost).

Actually, I think my memory was skewed. The Elder Wose wasn't almost unscathed, but it did survive pretty well against the undead onslaught. A Dark Adept missed completely and I think the Skeleton Archers missed completely too. The Wraith did a total of 40 damage. He was a sore loser, so he called me a cheat. He left soon after that without embracing his defeat honorably.

Here's the replay:

Idiots actually refer to the quitter who who called me a cheat, no one else.
