Special abilities:

• Death stare

Gorgons and Mighty Gorgons are level 5 creatures of Fortress town. They are recruited from the Gorgon Lair.

"The sturdy gorgons attack with their acidic breath. The Mighty Gorgon has a death stare with a 10% chance per attack of killing 1 creature in a troop outright..." ^{RoE manual}

Tactics and info

Mighty Gorgons are among the best overall level 5 creatures in the game, and certainly one of the highlights of the Fortress town. They can defend your Ranged attackers, or with a prayer or haste or even a cape of velocity can go blow for blow with creatures far stronger than them because of their good defense stat, high health and incredibly effective death stare ability. Ideal strategy is to get them on the strongest troop stack possible (Azure Dragons, Titans, etc.) and watch them level opponents far stronger in stats.

Special ability death stare

Mighty Gorgons have special ability death stare, which may occur after the stack has attacked, including retaliations. When the stack attacks, the successful death stare occurs before the enemy has a chance to retaliate. Every gorgon in the stack has 10% chance to cause death stare. Successful stare instantly kills the 'top' unit of a stack, leaving the new 'top' unit with full health. The stare cannot kill more enemies than 1/10th from the number of Mighty Gorgons in a stack rounded up. In other words, the stare of 1–10 Mighty Gorgons may only kill one enemy, while a stack of 11 might kill two.

Unlike most "magic" abilities, this works on Black Dragons, but not on the undead.

Calculation

PR% = 1 - 0,90^N

PR% = Chance to kill at least one enemy creature
N = Number of Mighty Gorgons in a stack

Creatures immune to death stare:

Elementals:

Undead:

Gargoyles:

Stone and Obsidian Gargoyles

Golems

Mechanicals

Heroes with a specialty

Alkin the Beastmaster has gorgons as a specialty, which increases the attack and defense skills of any Gorgons or Mighty Gorgons for each level attained after 5th level, and gives them a speed bonus of 1.

-Up to seven stacks of creatures can be deposited in a Garrison.  Players owning the Garrison, and allies, can travel through it without fighting the Garrison's force.  However, an enemy must first defeat the Garrison's force before they can pass it.  Heroes cannot occupy a Garrison.

-With the exception of the Anti-Magic Garrison (no spell may be cast during combat there), Garrisons do not give special defenses like walls, motes, or arrow-towers.
+== Tactics and info ==
+Mighty Gorgons are among the best overall level 5 creatures in the game, and certainly one of the highlights of the Fortress town. They can defend your [[Ranged attackers]], or with a [[prayer]] or [[haste]] or even a [[cape of velocity]] can go blow for blow with creatures far stronger than them because of their good defense stat, high health and incredibly effective death stare ability. Ideal strategy is to get them on the strongest [[troop stack]] possible ([[Azure Dragons]], [[Titans]], etc.) and watch them level opponents far stronger in stats.
-== Check Box: Troops Are Removable ==
+== Special ability death stare ==
+Mighty Gorgons have [[special ability]] death stare, which may occur after the stack has attacked, including retaliations. When the stack attacks, the successful death stare occurs before the enemy has a chance to retaliate. Every gorgon in the stack has 10% chance to cause death stare. Successful stare instantly kills the 'top' unit of a stack, leaving the new 'top' unit with full health. The stare cannot kill more enemies than 1/10th from the number of Mighty Gorgons in a stack rounded up. In other words, the stare of 1–10 Mighty Gorgons may only kill one enemy, while a stack of 11 might kill two.
-Removing troops from a Garrison is defaulted, but can be unchecked to ensure that the creatures stay in the Garrison.  If the map-editor does not want a player, human or computer to take the troops from a particular Garrison, then the map-editor can simply uncheck this box and the troops will remain there until they die in a combat.
+Unlike most "magic" abilities, this works on Black Dragons, but not on the undead.
