Re: Hm, interesting.
 

I agree about the gnomes, infact I was already working on a gnome nation before I discovered them in the game.

I'm (slowly) working on a pre Early age mod which will add dozens of different stone-age independents, including some animal independents, but the more the merrier.

Great idea about the insanity cure site, Taqwus.

Speaking of which (with the Void Gate in mind) how about more Void Gate type sites? I definitely want an Oni gate for Yomi, but I'm sure their's lots of potential here. Gates to the Mictlan underworld, Inferno, Cocytus, the Norse Yggdrazil, Faerie Mounds, lots of different things could be done and lots of different places could be made-some of which you wouldn't normally want to enter, but might in the right circumstances.

Re: Undead, maybe lifeless
 

The only think I can think about is you forgetting to actually give the queen the command to heal. And that's only because you never explicitly said you did.

Re: Undead, maybe lifeless
 

Hahah! When I posted that I was wondering if I should edit it to explicitly state they were set to heal, but I didn't because I was lazy.

Yes, my queens were set to heal. Also, dominion is growth 1 and luck 3, so if death and misfortune are to blame, it's not in this case.

I think the culprit is old age. Ermor aged Illearth something terrbile, and that may be the true reason for the afflictions (though they all happened at once and I could have swore it was during a battle). That's lame you can't heal old age afflictions. Old age is a pain in the neck enough with the stat penalties, there should at least be some way you can lessen the suck. Or how about at least if you cure old age (thruough nature empowerment or rejuvenate, then once you do that you can heal old age afflictions (since you're not old, they are now just regular afflictions). That would be nice http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Undead, maybe lifeless
 

Gift of health can cure old age afflictions. Maybe the Chalice?

I know the commanders with heal can't.

If he was aged in battle he probably got the afflictions from the magical aging not from wounds.

Re: Undead, maybe lifeless
 

The chalice and GoH both can heal afflictions regardless of cause or victim.

Re: Undead, maybe lifeless
 

You'd think a pretty little Faerie princess with plenty of enthusiasm and imagination would be able to "heal" any old fart of whatever afflictions old age has brought on http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Undead, maybe lifeless
 

Chalice seems like a good plan because I think he could easily take any questing knights that come after it. I'll try that one next, and get my faeries to start casting air long distance attack spells.

Fun stuff!

Edit: Edited for terrible spelling. I can't believe I spelled knights, "nights."

Questing knights...
 

You know, I've -never- seen any knights come after the Chalice, in either D2 or D3, and it's one of my favorite artifacts.

Re: LA Ulm, specifically against LA Ermor
 

BTW, healing is a chance for every unit stacked with a healer. It doesn't help to have only one patient - put as many patients as possible with healers to maximize the results overall.

Sounds like your problem here is the old age, though.

Re: LA Ulm, specifically against LA Ermor
 

It was my Marignon / Abysia post, glad it inspired you. Me, I can't get my head around LA Ulm - I'm wondering what kept you there. Their mages are just so awful...
