Re: Curse...
 

True. Still, even with an expensive Remove Curse, a rampaging pretender can still be successfully attacked and afflicted with curse, since it is easy to curse, and Remove Curse wouldn't heal afflictions, and would require retreating the pretender to a lab, and then spending large amounts of gems to undo something that can pretty easily be re-done. The strategy of repeatedly removing curses from one's pretender would actually be more damaging to an empire than just living with curses.

Uhmmmmmm, if it is so easy to curse the units, why isn't there a remove curse spell?????????
This is making no sense to me!
So what if I remove curse? You can curse my units again, but at least I will be able to remove it if I want to!

I think that we need a cheap way [normal spell] to remove the curse, cuz it is easy to curse the enemy units. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif

Re: Curse...
 

It is easy to kill units. Should it also be easy to return them back to life?
Removing afflictions is not that either, is it? Maybe we should add something to the game that would't let you just heal them and stop worrying... Maybe something like a damnation, that dramatically improves the possibility of getting an affliction. It should be unremovable though, for otherways it would have no effect as it would just be removed.
Oh, wait. I think we have this, it is called curse. It needs Astral and Nature, so even if it isn't common it is accessible to almost every nation.

Bah, all this is irrelevant ... if you play Arco !
Healing afflictions become sooooooo simple ! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: Curse...
 

An idea about trying to remove curses - what about a ritual allowing a cursed commander to meet his 'Fates' (say, 3 uber-Norns, or 3 Erynies - special harpy or medusa-like monsters) in an arena-like death match?

I just got almost all of my best units, about 300 of them, cursed on turn one of a battle by the Doom spell... argh! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif ;-(
