These Google translations are so bad they make my eyes bleed. Please stop.
Besides it's useless since most chars reading this .com portal forum have .com registered chars and hence can't access the .ru challenge... |

The translations [i]are[/i] pretty bad. But it's only though crowd-sourcing that any improvements will be made. So use the Google translate and then offer a better translation. Future Lords and Ladies will thank you!

If you registered a character through .ru, you can log into that character on .com (since the merge). So, the Sphinx Challenge appears for these players on the .com site, but the riddles themselves are still in Russian. It's a little strange.
Anyway, accessing the Russian forum thread for this can be found at following link:

But it's pretty unwieldy. I think this thread is still useful for the English-literate set.

1/9: To what kind of skills is a prism breath?
Use 1 diamond
activated ability
probabilistic skill
not entered
The Russian forum seems to think this is a "probabilistic skill". But doesn't it ALWAYS fire? Prism breath is what certain dragons have, isn't it? And so then wouldn't it be "not entered"? |
probabilistic skill |
for Fallen Atheros:
Can you explain why? If the probability is 100% to fire 100% of the time, then that's not probabilistic, at least not in any conventional sense of the word. "Probabilistic" implies a chance. If it was X chance to fire is less than 100%, THAT would be probabilistic. |
Prism Breath is not the same as Draconic Breath. |
Prism Breath is not the same as Draconic Breath.
Thanks. That's where my confusion came from.
Last one:
9/9
Which of the spells in the game there is
vampirism
stopping cold
sorrow
The transfer of the hive |
Ah nevermind. Unless you want to help someone else. I went with sorrow for the last one.
Wound up getting 8/9 correct. Thanks for the help, all. |
for Xhuda:
read the ability description
https://www.lordswm.com/army_info.php?name=crystaldragon |
for Xhuda:
I think you got the last one wrong.
It should be vampirism, a level 5 magic guild spell. |
Level 5 magic guild is not in the game yet. I think that "transfer of the hive" might be a bad translation of wasp swarm. |
Sorrow is right. It's the affliction spell casted by mirage dragons. |
Well then it's not a "spell", but a "special ability", so it's just like "vampirism" (lifedrain ?)
Seriously, with such bad translations it's impossible to get the question right. You're wasting your time... |
Well then it's not a "spell", but a "special ability", so it's just like "vampirism" (lifedrain ?)
I have the same thing to say about sorrow but vampirism was mentioned as a spell, not officially though... still its the right answer unless 'transfer of the hive' actually meant wasp swarm (i didn't catch this one, nice thinking Lord Fosgeen). |
transfer of the hive for me it is "Town portal spell" which is in original game( " it can teleport hero into near by town" ) |
