| ''"Gogs and magogs hurl fireballs and attack with their claws at close range. Magog fireblasts affect the target hex and its surrounding hexes like a [[Fireball]] spell."{{-}}<sup>[[Restoration of Erathia Manual Page 97|RoE manual]]''</sup>
| | Gogs and Magogs hurl fireballs and attack with their claws at close range. Magog fireblasts affect the target hex and its surrounding hexes in a similar way to [[Fireball]] spell. However, the effect is considered to be creature ability rather than spell, and therefore creatures immune to fire or spells are fully affected by the Magog's attack. |
| == Special Ability: Fireball Attack ==
| |
| In addition to the target, [[Magog]]s' fireball attack damages all units standing in hexes surrounding the target. In the original game, this can sometimes be seen as more of a hindrance than help, due to the fact that it can hit allied troops next to the target. However, in {{hota}}{{-wh}} the area of effect around the target does not damage units normally immune to [[Fire Magic]], and players can target any non-adjacent hex to be the target of the attack including empty cells, greatly increasing the versatility to the level of the [[Fireball]] spell. Most notably, the area of effect does not damage the [[Efreeti]]. However, they can still be damaged if they are the primary target in the central hex of the shot.
| |
| | |
| Fireball Attack is similar to [[Lich and Power Lich|Liches']] [[Lich and Power Lich#Special ability|Death Cloud]] attack. As Fireball Attack and Death Cloud are considered as AoE ranged attacks, they can't be affected by [[Preemptive Shot]]s {{withhota}}, even if these attacks target Gunslingers or Bounty Hunters as a central hex.

| == Heroes with a specialty ==
| |
| | |
| *{{H|Calh|Demoniac}} has gogs as a [[Specialty#Creature_specialties|specialty]], which increases the attack and defense skills of any gogs or magogs for each level attained after 2nd level, and gives them a [[speed]] bonus of 1.
| |
| | |
| == {{hota}} ==
| |
| In {{hota}}, Magogs can shoot fireball at any hex of the battlefield except for its own hex and adjacent ones (unless [[Bow of the Sharpshooter]] is present). Targeting dialogue is called by pressing G. Note that this Fireball does friendly fire. However, creatures immune to fire can be damaged only by a central hex:

| {{Fanopinion|
| |
| In the original game, Magogs are more of a liability, as once the melee starts, it's often impossible to shoot enemy stacks without some friendly fire. For this reason, many players instead [[summon demons]] from Gogs. In {{hota}}, however, careful positioning of the fireball allows damaging enemies only, and sometimes two or even three stacks can be hit at once, which makes Magogs much more viable.
| |
| | |
| Thanks to their Fireball special ability, Magogs can greatly "help" your [[Imp]]s (or any other low-level creatures) to die in the very right moment and in exact numbers for [[Demons]] to be [[summon demons|summoned]].
