[0.992][bug] Shrink causes Released Abominations to have an attack of zero

from Elemental Forums

After casting shrink they have a attack of zero with no listing for the guillotine axe.

Here is a save from before I attacked

Also works on juggernauts with guillotine axes,

I blame the +100% attack modifiers on juggernaughts (in previous betas multiplicative modifiers exaggerated the penalties because the penalty was calculated based on the total value, but applied before the modifier, sometimes resulting in negative values).

all juggernauts are neutered when shrunk. I only lost to ythril in my lates game when i ran out of mana to cast shrink. very sad.

mind you, he was sending wave after wave of juggernaust it was really irritating. There should be a limit on the juggernaust because ythril can snowball out of control very easily. Not that the ai learns to stop sending juggernauts when they killed so easily...

BUT OTHER AI'S DO NOT CAST SHRINK ON THE JUGGERNAUTS AS WELL.

Really? That's a pretty big deal.

I've found Growth/Shrink to be pretty powerful. Very effective against lumbering oafs like Jaugernauts, Ogres, Trolls, etc. Plus, they're so much cuter when they're tiny. :meow:

Mind you i can only guess at this since ythril has been rolling over everyone in my last few games.
