Ho Hsien-Ku
 

This is an immortal who joined my ranks when playing as MA Tien Chi. She has a clear description that she is capable of healing afflictions, but she lacks the actual skill. Is this a bug? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif

She has it in EA Tien Chi.

She does heal afflictions. When you select her and hit spacebar to get the orders menu, you will find that she does indeed have the Heal Troops command. That's what you need to use.

I had her once, and I can't say she helped me the least :
A healing heroe with Tien Chi is not what I was dreaming of. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif
I would rather see an old and powerful mage, maybe with some afflictions like limp and/or crippled.

Well, there is one, the other immortal, he is described be frequent astral traveller, whose body was buried once when his spirit was away, so he had to possess a body of an old leper. This one would suit you, probably :-)

IMO Ho Hsien-Ku should have the healing ability listed.

The Man with the Iron Crutch is terrible. Sure he has nice stats, but you have to have him off on his own or he diseases everyone.

Re: Ho Hsien-Ku
 

Why should she have healing 'listed'? It's in her description, pretty clear. So clear that you thought she had the skill yourself, although you didn't check. If it was listed, you'd have pressed spacebar and checked for/used it, right? So why didn't you do that after reading the description?

I'm confused.

Re: Ho Hsien-Ku
 

All the unit abilities are listed as pictograms, Kappas have it, so why not this heroine? Besides, I have heard that the healing abilility will be numerically quantified in the next patch (similar to Stealth, for example).

Re: Ho Hsien-Ku
 

No they aren't, there are a whole load that don't have pictures.

Healing could use the number, fair enough. So could seduce.

Re: Ho Hsien-Ku
 

Healing doesn't have an icon, though it will in the next patch, apparently.

Recuperation does. I think that's what Kappas have, so it may be what you're thinking of.

Recuperation heals your own afflictions, healing heals others.
