A antimatter Dune Scorpion CANNOT KILL opponent

[chenqu1989]

I appologize for my poor english

This is what i found when i use a antimatter Dune Scorpion
the picture is after i improve the attack of it
it happened just before it when the Dune Scorpion attack minus





though the opponent have a 40poison and only 1 hp
it won't die and last for 1hp
it seems that "the opponent get the antimatter's 1 hp as soon as it die"
i cannot kill it until i made the Dune Scorpion'attack plus

i just wonder if this is a setting or a bug

thanks for viewing this.

This is a known fact. If your first creature does negative damage, it can't kill the opponent. You need another creature or a weapon to finish them off. This goes for normal poison as well.

Poison kills the opponent, but the negative damage hits before the game realises you won. It's annoying, but that's the way it currently works.

Nah it is meant to be like this. People would antimatter their first only creature so the opponent doesn't die from poison, let the SoGs heal you, then let the weapon deal the killing blow for EM.

That's certainly how people use it. It doesn't say anything about how it is "meant to be," though. I've never heard Zanz say anything about it, although someone else might have. It doesn't seem like it would be intentional behavior.

This is a known bug.

7.  Antipoison
Symptoms:  Your health remains at a constant number despite being poisoned to death repeatedly.
Causes:  If the only creature you have in play is antimattered, it attacks at the same time poison does, meaning poison sends your opponent's health down to zero just before it heals them back up to whatever the antimattered attack is.

This is pretty interesting. I'm pretty sure that neurotoxin works differently than poison, well at least in the previous version.
I believe I've confirmed this here (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,13905.0.html) in version 1.26 that neurotoxin will kill despite of AM.

I wonder if zanz indeed changed this in the recent update, then the "antipoison" bug probably not a bug at all.
