The Dark Hive, channeling union can't be interrupted

[Konrad22]

When you discover Elyssa and move Mal Keshar and Elynia next to each other, you receive the objective to protect them from harm while they concentrate. This is apparently optional, as their channeling is only disrupted when they die.

Their max moves and max attacks are supposed to be set to zero. Is this not working?

[Konrad22]

I'm sorry, I was not specific enough.
Max moves and max attacks are set to zero, as intended.
The problem is that Elynia and Mal Keshar being attacked/harmed has no consequences regarding their concentration to channel the union.
'protect...from harm' implies to me that their concentration will be interrupted when attacked/harmed and that they'll have to start their 4 turns anew. Otherwise the scenario objective could just be to hold out for 4 turns.

I think you are being a bit too pedantic.

As I recall, I originally did implement it the way you thought it should work, but quickly settled on the current system because it would be too frustrating to have to start the process over if anything goes wrong. Removing their ability to retaliate entirely also felt wrong; in that case I feel like most players would rather have the units get temporarily taken away than have two dead weights taking up tiles on the map.

[Konrad22]

Can you in that case change the scenario objective to 'Protect Elynia and Mal Keshar from being overwhelmed for x turns'?

Also, tbh, with the way it's currently coded, that objective is trivial to achieve.

Again, I think you are being a bit too pedantic.
