Immune to poison

[Quitch]

Are some units e.g. undead immune to poison? I was using it against a ghoul and I think a skeleton and neither was poisoned, but I wasn't able to find anything in their description, nor in the undead description, which describes an immunity to poison.

This is under 1.11.1.

here's a quote from the manual:

Undead
Undead units are immune to poison, also drain and plague doesn’t work on them. Undead units generally have Undead as their only trait. Since Undead units are the bodies of the dead, risen to fight again, poison has no effect upon them. This can make them invaluable in dealing with foes who use poison in conjunction with their attacks.

Well I guess I must have missed it then. Whoops

Where in the manual is that? This is the page that I see for Undead in 1.11.1:

[Astoria]

It's in the manual for the trait "undead".

[Quitch]

Ah, okay,

Shouldn't something in the unit description link to that manual item? So far as I can tell there's no way to tell from an undead unit page that it's immune to poison as none of the links take you to this information.

You'll find the trait undead listed under the undead units' names in the field (beside fearless usually, to show it's a trait if you're just skimming around), though traits aren't linked in the unit description.

Shouldn't something in the unit description link to that manual item?

Possibly. Normally, an entry for a unit type would not link to any traits (because most traits are randomly assigned), but in the case of the Undead race, there is the undead trait that all Undead units "must have". Perhaps the manual should be changed to list "must have" traits alongside abilities.

Another possible improvement might be to allow viewing the manual entry for a trait by clicking on the trait's name in the sidebar. (When your mouse is over a unit, its stats should appear in the sidebar. Selecting the unit should keep that information in the sidebar when your mouse is not over another unit.) On the other hand, the information is not completely hidden, as you could just hover your mouse over the first word in the "undead, fearless" line in the sidebar, and the tooltip will tell you about the immunities.
