Artifacts and spells in battle vs pc

mepbmlist
#1

Someone refresh my memory.

if enemy army w/spells and combat art attack to capture your pc w/a defensive
army on it, do the spells and artifacts hit for only ONE round of battle?
ie. count only in first round vs the army?

so the army "soaks up" the effect of the offensive (and defensive?) spells
and artifacts and thus when the enemy army attacks to capture the pc (same
turn that defensive army dies), they are attacking "without" the magic and
artifacts"?

I am dang-blasted near POSITIVE that Artifacts and Spells only affect the
first round of combat.
You can test this with the Combat Calculator, (make it a simple attack) then
run the same numbers by hand.
However, there is a nagging thought in my mind that they get 'refreshed'
after the army battle for the attack on the population center.

Exactly right. Any army combat in the hex will take the full effect of
spells and artifacts (NPC's too, if present, which of course includes
dragons!) in its first round, and none of the above will affect the pc
combat. Just make sure the sacrificial army is large enough not to be
overrun when the enemy enters the hex -- which if you pc has fortifications
to add in, won't take much.

We're in the process of changing the site's ownership. The problem for us
is that we have been waiting for 3 months to get this done and had no
warning (we're lucky it is getting done at all). When we know we'll inform
you.
