I disagree with this - the ability to make afflictions disappear is very interesting when you start using SCs, or, as Alex would call them, thugs. When you have a significant investment in a single unit, being able to remove the afflictions is really important.

Of course, there's always Gift of Health for that, but it's only in SP that you can be reasonably sure it won't be fought over.


Giving cheap affliction removal to Machaka would mean... I don't know, but it very possibly could result in significant balance shifting.
