I seem to remember from playing this game years ago that Firebreath combines nicely with some races' research upgrades that provide additional damage. E.g., minotaurs have access to both pyromancy and a +20 damage upgrade, which could make for some truly fearsome firebreath.

Another interesting option is the Fey, whose sylphs are dirt cheap and get +50% attack rate bonus as well as a quick and cheap +5 damage upgrade (and a pretty cheap +3 combat upgrade). Spriggans are more expensive, but have a +100% attack rate bonus and enjoy the same upgrades. It seems like these might allow for an extremely potent base-wrecking crew very very early in the game?

Anyway, google doesn't turn up much info on fire-breath any more. Does anybody know how exactly fire-breath works, and how it combines with other traits and bonuses? How about with XP bonuses? Is this like many spells in that it can hit only 24 units?
