Bats are cold resistant?

[SillySod]

Dear lord why add more cold resistance to undead?

I cant see any reasonable background reason for the resistance and I'm not quite sure how it adds to balance. Unless they sit on vulnerable villages bats seem unreasonably tricky for drakes to remove. Just wondering if I'm missing something here.

I think it's a carryover from when the bats where undead.

I always thought it was to keep DAs from clobbering them even during the DA's off hours.

If it isn't a big balance issue, maybe this resistance should be changed, perhaps even to a vulnerability. Real bats hibernate during the winter because of their vulnerability to cold, like many mammals. And in the game, it would make them less...goddamned.

Did someone call a TV Trope?
Why yes they did (three times in fact).

But then they should at least get something in exchange.

You got the Overkill Medal! grats!

I think removing the cold resistence would make the bats less annoying, but one of things I learned about the process of changing unit stats is that it never happens.

Meh, Healthy was changed recently, and Drake Gliders now have 40% evasion instead of 30%, so it's not like it never happens.

[Araja]

Okay they do, just rarely.

[Pentarctagon]

i dont think it would make the bats less annoying, except for drakes, because saurians are the only mainline unit that can use a cold attack anyway.

[Exasperation]

Your harsh words make the necromancer line sad. I'm okay with that; I like the saurians better.

*slaps head*
