I tried to search for this, but didn't have much luck. It's more of just a rant, anyway. But I'm so annoyed that when in story mode, if an AI attacks one of my territories with a scroll or critical hits ability and the attack leaves me with with five hit points, I still die.

If I attack in the same manner, scroll or critical hit ability, and they're left with five hit points, they live!

The AIs cheat. I've never played an online game, I don't think I have the stamina for that long of a game. Does this happen in online games, too??

:angry:

The AI doesn't cheat. There's actually a very logical (and consistent) explanation for that.

Scrolls penetrate (ignore) land bonus. If your creature has 30MHP and the AI uses a 30ST scroll, you're dead no matter what level land you're on. Pro tip: use items that increase your HP in battle when your opponent is using scrolls. Scrolls don't penetrate item HP bonuses.

Whooh's Beginner's Guide will help you tremendously. Knowledge is power. :)

Initially I was thinking, ok that makes sense...but I actually didn't say anything about land bonus or land level.

If an attack against me with scroll or critical hit ends with me having 5pts, I die. If I attack the AI in precisely the same circumstance, same creatures, same scroll/weapon or ability with scroll or critical hit, and he's left with 5hp, he lives.

Actual penetrates (creature ability) comes off before the battle begins.

I am new to the board, but I've been addicted to his game for years. I'll take a look at the guide, and I'll come back and eat my words if it convinces me, but I still contend it is an inequitable treatment of my char vs AI in exactly the same circumstances.

The only way that makes any sense is if you're confusing the red bar (land bonus) and the green bar (your creature's HP). If the green bar is reduced to zero or less from a scroll attack, the creature dies. If any of the green bar remains, the creature survives.

You could take a photo of the creature before and after? That would help a lot to solve the mystery.

Scrolls can be confusing. I was called a cheater once when I killed a guy's Frost Beast with a scroll. Heh.
