Mafia 99. The tragedy of the city of Ve-He.

You know that when you kill Shamans and Bodyguards, the bonuses stack, right? In the best-case scenario, you could have gotten 3 defense.
Regarding isolation.

I should have identified them before others killed them or they managed to escape (remember Mort). Well, let's assume I didn't know about the stacking defense, but... Besides Dark, to be honest, even if I quickly identified all the healers, I couldn't rely on it. Kenol and Shan-Ma have defenses that I can't break. Also, I need to be able to make a move at all, because there isn't always an opportunity to resurrect (and when there is, the resurrected unit might be too strong and dangerous to take such a risk). In short, it's unrealistic, unless I get extremely lucky.

and Zesma was definitely waiting for you to kill her instead of going to bite you and get a one-time defense, as soon as it became clear who the Scoundrel was ))
You wouldn't have killed Zesma; didn't you realize that the Curse had been lifted by that time?

No, I understood about the curse; I overlooked the one-time defense, which was stupid. Well, that means there was nothing to do there, you can't do anything. Only Oben could be eliminated, but he was the least interesting to me.

explain. What did the Mafia do wrong?

Nothing, it was fine. Considering the defense, Zesma probably should have bitten, but I didn't understand that trick at the time, to be honest.

It wouldn't have made a difference. It was, as you said, "nothing personal, just business." There was no point in leaving mana when they were doing well without it.

Yeah, that's true.
