Silly question about magic eyes
 

If I have a commander missing an eye, and I give him one, will it occur to him to use the empty socket, or will he put out the good eye in a moment of overenthusiasm?

Also, I assume all magic eyes are cursed, and cannot EVER be removed except by death? Do they get picked up in that case by your other commanders? (this could be very VERY bad, especially for your cyclope pretender http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif )

I think magic eyes should cure rather than cause blindness, but I suspect I'm in the minority about this...


Thanks,

Laugh! There is a funny thread about this started a month or two ago.

Magic eyes do work as prosthetics for commanders who have lost an eye in battle. It doesn't cure their "lost an eye" affliction, but it doesn't cause the "lost the other eye as well" affliction, nor blindness, giving you a commander as intact as a healthy one who gets a magic eye installed. This is all as expected, cool, good, etc.

When someone dies with magic organs (in the release Version of the game), it is possible that someone who doesn't have their misc slots full of items, will discover the organs and install them on themselves before you can say "NOOOooooOOOooooo!" If they already have one magic eye, a second one WILL blind them. The idea that this is something a human would never do was belied in the aforementioned hilarious thread on the subject.

However that may have been changed in the latest patch, or may be in a future one. Someone from Illwinter did post in the previous thread that it probably should not occur like that.

However it is very rare in most cases. I've been playing for months and have never had anyone install a found organ. However do beware the tactic one player used, where he outfitted an armies with several men with magic bows and eyes of aiming... works well until someone dies, and someone else in the corps finds his eye... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

P.S. Note that even if it isn't fixed, you should still be able to avoid silly blindness in eye-equipped commanders, by giving them another trinket to fill their other misc slot.

Note: Recuperation does not heal these wounds. I put a heart in Man's regenerating recuperating green knight, and he had a chest wound 30 turns later.

I had a moment of shock whith that. I had two generals with magic eyes, one of them died and the second replaced his only eye with a magic one. Since then I am always giving my shooters/mages a second misc. item to prevent that. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif )

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Was he still wearing the heart? If so, good: you shouldn't be able to recuperate your missing eye while the magical one is still in there (let alone the Nuadu Airgetlahm if it is ever added; chest wounds for hearts are a bit more of a grey area but I don't mind.)

If you remove the heart and still can't heal the chest wound, that sounds like a bug.

They are cursed... you cannot remove them. Eye loss should not regenerate, but chest wound certainly should.
