Problem attacking dark elementals

[viking41166]

In the necropolis campaign, Anastasia can't attack dark elementals but can damage them with spells. Likewise, the ghosts in her army can't attack them either, while other troops such as ghouls can. Has anyone else had this problem?

[Metathron]

Yes, this happens because of the darkness elementals' affinity talent, and since the necropolis magic attacks (your hero, liches, ghosts and spider form) all qualify as dark magic, that's what happens. It should actually be a 50% damage reduction, but it's buggy like so many other things so it's 100%.

On the other hand vampiric touch or what ever it's called on ghouls takes care of them easily + you get life drain from darkness ;D;D makes sense ;D

[Avonu]

All elementals are Living creatures now, so Drain Life works on them. Make sense... but only from game mechanics side.
