This screenshot was taken a second after the pit fiends walked on top of 3 fire traps and killed themselves.

When you have almost 30 knowledge, plus intelligence, plus mana regeneration, not really.

What's more astounding then the screenshot is that I went through that entire level (Raelag Mission #5) on heroic with zero causalities, and quite a bit of reloading.

Fire traps are super fun!

Firetrap-blowing all over the screen is a strategy mostly regarded to wizards (Nur, for example, who might be able to spawn 16 mines at once via motw ability and almost have the same level of mana after the spellcasting). Still, I understand that here, there are 300 or perhaps 450 spellpoints in reserve. However, I don't see the point of putting mines where they weren't been likely to trigger, as Pit dudes knew hydras' position. With an invisible creature, that would've made more sense, IMO.

And yes, I agree with your last paragraph, those fierce beasts regenerate nice - no casualties, and along with Raelag's special they can be quite practical, assuming the balance of initiative.

I hate how fire traps don't go off when I push an enemy stack on top of it with the bear riders' special attack. :'(

Hopefully, harpooners are able to drag creatures, both in fire traps and castle-defending runes.
