Posts from Orcish Shamans and the magic of Wizards.

Good day to everyone visiting!
I have a question! How can I find out how many Orcish shamans block magic, i.e., how does the strength of magic depend on the number of shamans?
I thought they would block it regardless, but after playing as Orcs against Necropolis, I lost because my 500+ shamans never managed to block the Orcish Enslave spell, even though it only had 30 magic power. I'm interested in the formula that determines whether they will block it or not.

Open the game manual on page 335. All the formulas are listed there. The manual is located in the FunDocuments folder of your installed game.

the manual has very little information about this; I would like more details.

I found everything for those who are interested.
Formula: (wizard level + spell level + 17) * 25;
that is, a 10th-level hero casting a 4th-level spell will be blocked by 775 goblins;
if you need to block a 5th-level spell cast by the same hero, you will need 800 goblins.
A 30th-level hero with a 5th-level spell will be blocked by 1300 goblins.
In general, to be fair, even a single shaman-goblin has a chance to block an enemy spell - but the probability is not very high there (however, it is always at least 5%!). So, in the final stages, you have to think about who to give preference to.
