Royal thorns, have they been mentioned?

[Razorflame]

royal thorns are a pain vs fire damage though

a big weakness but oh well xD
don't use em vs dragons or heroes

[Danielsan2000]

Not to mention that the Spell target isnt needed, since the the thorn stacks automatically attract the attention of the AI ... most times.

[Razorflame]

most times if they cannot reach a real unit

but archers might hit your real units

Yeah, Royal Thorns are pretty good. They tend to be lacking in number though, and their weakness to fire can be... very painful. Also, demonologists are the only consistent resurrectors for them... and also quite possibly the rarist unit in the game. So I think the combination of the two is why you don't hear a lot about them.

Royal thorns are pretty good but they arent so popular because most users here play no loss campaings. And its impossible to do this with them.

[Razorflame]

it's very easy to do a no loss with royal thorns if u got demonologist

[Elwin]

There are some nasty heroes on first islands with flaming arrow where u cant avoid loss of royal thorn. Doubt u have demonoligist in tha part of game. Unless you do map kiting of course
