Depends on /which/ "Alex, the general" you mean. There are two maps with that 
character. One is "pup_land/kurte/eureca_road3" and the other is  
"pup_land/hq". In one of the maps he is rather weak. In the other he is +100 
physical and +100 fire. So, you would not damage him with physical and fire 
on that map. Recent changes to fix a bug with 'curse' make it where monsters 
are now more resistant to curse and to disease if they are a custom monster 
with custom resistances. Prior to this a bug in the code caused custom 
monsters to revert to the plain old original archetype and lose all their 
custom resistances. This new effect is intended but will make it necessary to 
fix some monsters and change strategy for others. In this case "Alex, the 
general" does not need fixing ... you need a new strategy. :-)
