The Elvish Shyde violates RIPLIB!

I should get around to coding that "multiple attack specials" patch, one of these days, even if it can't go in before 1.0.

Then you could have "slow, magic". =)

I think it would be nice feature. Of couse very powerful... but IMO it would be good for some of the lvl3 units.

4-2 melee isn't very powerful, even if it does have slow and magical. Yes, it's effective at slowing the enemy, but a 3-3 or 4-3 slow attack would be about as effective... Magical makes an attack better against high defense by a certain amount, less better against medium defense, but all by pretty much fixed multipliers.

but IMO it would be good for some of the lvl3 units

As long as we don't go ability-crazy; but adding a small potential to do so is not a problem... I haven't seen any regenerates-illuminates-skirmish-drain abominations in practice, even though it is perfectly possible to make such a unit type currently.

Although drain would be for the attack, not unit ability.

I know, that's why I didn't put two attack abilities in although that's still possible if they're on different attacks.

Ah, ok. I thought you were just stacking unit abilities.
