I find this very sad ! You only tell one side of the story (and even Phil
Collins knows
that you should know both sides of the story). If what you guys say about
SFW is true
then it makes it impossible for somebody to kill you with Aurablast. As you
could relearn
SFW faster then somebody gaining 50 aura to blast. So even if this bug (SFW,
not
aurablast) is fixed. The one being blasted would suffer the consequences.

Why Greg's noble blasted another only once is his own problem and doesn't
matter.
I guess playing g1 can have it's disadvantages also, but there are more then
enough advantages to make up for them, aren't there Greg ?

When a noble is blasted the body moves to the province like any other kill I
guess.
Troops etc, go to a noble stacked with him/her (sometimes)

Yves.

BTW : Dear PLATO-members, simple planning is what it takes.
I'm sorry if I'm good at it.
