pyro kills cleric on first move of game

[Choi]

Is there some explanation for this? I was playing gold against a grey and he moved first. He moved one pyro and hit my cluster, including my cleric and it did 24 damage instead of 15. Poof, no cleric. I have a screen shot, but I doubt that helps. My opponent was netborg. It's like there's a bug where his pyro acts like a powered up Dragonspeaker Mage.

can we c the screenshot anyways?

[Snork]

Post it so we can see?

If there is a DSM, all the pyros get the extra attack ability. Unnerving, but there it is.

" I was playing gold against a grey "

[Stormneedle]

Hmm... misparsed that gold and grey line. Please ignore me.

It was on Great Lakes. The player was netborg. I'll try to remember to upload the screen capture to a server and put the link in here.

OK, I finally got around to uploading the screenie to a server... not that you can tell much from it.

What I'd like to know is how you got three scouts???

Didn't think that was possible.

EDIT: Nvm... it was his scout, or otherwise your unit count is wrong. It looks like he de-focussed your stony with his scout, is that true? Otherwise you are behind in your moves; he's clearly made at least two moves. You didn't get hit by his scout and then pyro?

yeha thats what i'm thinking, choi did u miss him attacking ur cleric with his scout? i've been known to miss an attack and lose a unit because of it before... just sayin, if ur cleric was where i think it was its entirely possible that he shot it with his scout and THEN pyro-ed it

[insignifiGant]

Yes, that appears to be the case... attacked with the scout, then attacked with the pyro... dead cleric, bye bye.

If he hit my cleric first move that would explain it, but my recollection is that he moved first and took out the cleric, which freaked me out, I powered up the stoney then he hit the stoney with his scout, at which point I ran crying for my mommy... er, I mean, took the screenie and resigned.

I think the Scout hit the cleric first. I mean, wouldn't it be, rather, stoopid, to hit the cleric with his pyro, a unit which will die from the dragon right INFRONT of it, and not kill it?
I think I would notice if the first move was a scout hitting my cleric... :P Also, it wouldn't be so stupid if he knew that this pyro was doing extra damage. Anyway, doesn't matter.

dragon = 28 dmg pyro = 30 hp..takes moer than one hit to kill so thas besides the point
