Naiads "slowly die" question
 

What is the mechanics behind "Naiades...slowly die when they leave their home" ?

Is it just fluff or for real?- If so, how does it work?

TIA

One hp a turn when they're away from their home province.

I assume it's stopped by regen.

Re: Naiads "slowly die" question
 

What is their home province?

Re: Naiads "slowly die" question
 

Wherever you summoned them. I think it shows up on the unit's display during battles. Not sure if you can find it elsewhere.

Re: Naiads "slowly die" question
 

What happens if you move it out and then back in to home province. Would it regain lost HP?

Re: Naiads "slowly die" question
 

yes they regain lost HP once back home (and back in their lover's arms).

Re: Naiads "slowly die" question
 

Yep.

Nope! You need to use the exploit.

Re: Naiads "slowly die" question
 

I would add that it is listed on the wiki as a %. So if you make one a prophet expect her to lose more than 1hp a turn. If I remember right it is 10% for the naiad and I think the HamaDryad is as high as 40% per turn.

WL, no need to worry about "slowly die". They'll die really fast ;)

:lol Dimaz. Come and get them if you dare :)

Thanks for the answers guys!

Re: Naiads "slowly die" question
 

Just to be clear, the home province is where they are summoned or where the summoner is?
e.g. with a remote summon spell will their home be where they were summoned or not?

Re: Naiads "slowly die" question
 

I don't know. Are there any remote summons who do this?

Re: Naiads "slowly die" question
 

Don't think so. Swan you know mod commands, you can test it yourself. Let us all know.

Re: Naiads "slowly die" question
 

I assume Transforming them cures them of this? Or have I just created a homesick moose :)

Re: Naiads "slowly die" question
 

LOL my guess is the Moose uses its innate magical abilities and not the Naiads. So it should be ok to migrate with him :).

Re: Naiads "slowly die" question
 

Note, regen in combat works to bring her back up. Makes it particularly tempting to have her tag around casting mass regen & quickening late game, but you can also use personal regen to make her a pretty formidable wooden warriors or haste buffer early on without having to forge any items for her. Or a very surprise foul vapors your opponent wasn't expecting. Just make sure to keep her fighting! With her nature magic she regens 4 points per turn so combat doesn't even have to drag on at all.

Re: Naiads "slowly die" question
 

Don't units with regen get back up to full at the end of combat regardless of length of the fight? In the same way you take all your poison damage, even if the fight ends.

Re: Naiads "slowly die" question
 

Give her a rod of the leper king and a regen ring. She won't lose HP away from home with Regen + Disease.
