I also like the permanence of curse and horror marks, BUT a wish spell must be able to remove them for reading its description it is obvious it must be able to remove it.

After all, if one's desperate to cast wish to remove it, it should be removed after all.

Just because Illwinter wants it a midget cannot trample an elephant. There is gaming ethics and all the [censored].

Personally, I don't see any reason for Wish not being able to remove curse and/or horror mark, but there are many, many things Wish "should" do that it doesn't.

Conversely, just because JaghataiKhan wants it a midget cannot trample an elephant. There is gameing ethics and all the [censored].

Did he really say that, or...

Anyways, if you you have wish, you might be better off wishing for a way to continually remove the extra wounds you get from the curse- it gives a longer lasting benefit and return, when you can just get recursed. Curse, by itself, doesn't do any harm, its only in combination with combat that's a threat. A Mother of Serpents, various units & artifacts are available to help with the affects.

I recognize Horror Marking may be a different story- but I haven't formed any opinion on that. Aside from the fact the affects are much more significant. So I won't comment on that.

I will make a suggestion - insufficient for mp, but a halfway measure for sp - mod horror marking out of the game. That's up to you, though. I haven't been keeping my Pretenders alive long enough to worry about Horror Marks.

I would like to make a suggestion with regards to the FAQ- include your signature, Edi. That way, I can quickly point someone towards the database. Or just insert a link.

Re: FAQ Discussion & Submissions
 

Good suggestion. I need to add the disbanding stuff and the research cost table for different difficulty levels, so I might as well include the DB links too.

Re: FAQ Discussion & Submissions
 

FAQ updated.

Added a section on the Dom3 DB as per previous suggestion since it gets tiresome to explain it all the time. Now any queries about the DB can be answered with "FAQ".

Also added research cost chart to the very end and reorganized the ODD & ENDS section better so that it is split to CASTLES and the true miscellaneous stuff.

Re: FAQ Discussion & Submissions
 

Thanks for adding the research charts!

It's not the minor blood bless that's considered weak. +2 to +4 to strength can be quite nice, especially vs. heavily-armored troops, although +4 to strength is also easily available via Strength of Giants, which costs no gems. That makes it a little bit less desirable of a bless than Fire or Water minor blesses (+att or +def), which AFAIK are available only via Quickness spells (which either cost gems or affect only a handful of units per casting) or indirectly via Darkness (which costs gems and doesn't help elite units).

But yeah, the B9 bless is weak. I can't speak as to whether B9 magic is weak because I don't typically play blood nations. I know I'm supposed to be playing an evil god, but if I think too hard about the blood slaves I start getting queasy.

I have a W9/F9/B4 bless in one game I'm playing in, mostly because the blood was very easy to get. I can say that I'm extremely happy with it. It adds +2 damage to each attack.
