Defence helps against melee attacks, so by nature anything ranged will hit them. I'm not sure how they function against AOE melee though (like being hit with a frost brand).

The defense will help against the melee component of the frost brands, but the AOE effect triggers regardless of whether the melee attack hits or not. So in other words a front brand works pretty much identical to any other AOE attack, just with 1 range and an additional melee attack thrown in.

So now AlStar only needs a thug that won't instantly melt to Wot5E's  :P

Except they have resist 5 frost (and fire too, if using the other brand). That will halve the damage (12 according to the inspector), right ?

Well the obvious counter to Wot5E's (unbuffed) is massed archers due to their elite defence and abysmal protection.

That would be an obvious counter, had it not been for the fact that my archer unit is considered a HERO instead of a unit.  oops.  At a rate of 1 per turn per fortress, not easy to mass them :) .  My slightly less obvious (and much more difficult to get) counter is going to have to be Shimmering Fields.  Yeah, they have lightning resist 5, but to quote Worf: "Assimilate THIS!"  That is, of course, assuming my own troops can... survive the experience.

After a long period of silence, I am rezing the thread.  For some reason my work laptop refuses to start Dom 4 (crashes with an "unknown error" immediately), so I will not be able to make any moves or access games like I thought I was going to be.  I am on a business trip in LA atm, and will be back late Sunday night, so I would like to request an extension for the pending turn until Monday night - I'll get it done on Monday for sure.  I apologize for such a long delay - it wasn't my intention to make everyone wait.  If you think this request is unfair, I understand.
