Swallow Whole

Modifiers: N/A

Swallow Whole actually rolls against Hitpoints, and is a weighted %... so units with 1 HP left are very likely to be swallowed, while units with more than 19HP are completely immune. Additionally, any unit killed by the glutton is automatically swallowed, and Heroes (and Wizards) are immune.

(That's all from memory, so might not be 100% accurate, but I think I'm remembering how I coded it correctly)...

The exact formula is rather complicated, but it's basically a curve so that units with a lot of HP left aren't swallowed very often...
