Re: Burden of Time - Does it affect enemies more?

GoH does help a bit against Bot. The afflictions and old age aren't affected, true. But the increase in HP keeps your mages alive about twice as long when they get diseased, which makes quite a difference.

Re: Burden of Time - Does it affect enemies more?

With MA Abyssia it depends on the mage mix they have been using how effective it will be.

If they are using mostly warlocks, it's going to smash them pretty bad.

If they are using mostly demonbred and summons though, they will just rejuvenate the most important walocks and not care much.

Re: Burden of Time - Does it affect enemies more?

That works in theory, but I doubt they wouldn't care, your mages would be tied up blood hunting and rejuvenating all the time to keep ahead of the aging.

For all provinces, kills 2% pop per turn and 0-3 unrest (greater in enemy dominions). Additionally, units age a random number of years every turn (between 1 and 5 (?) years).

So are enemy units effected more?

I tested this as EA R'lyeh with an enemy nation having Burden up - the Wiki makes it sound like all units have a chance to die or be afflicted regardless of age but in my test none of my (young, very long-lived) aboleths were killed or afflicted over the course of dozens of turns of an enemy burden being up. Burden is really nasty vs human nations and it may indeed have more of an effect on enemy nations but I don't think it does what the wiki says it does
