Default Re: What Does Death Curse Do?

The strength is ok for flaggies (though not worth the points imo) but death curse is useless for every sacred in basegame. Seriously. Even flaggies are too few in number and cost too much for it to be worth it.

With Ulm Reborn you can get loads of freespawn penitent (which are flaggies without afflictions, basically) and even there death curse does virtually nothing. I mean if their units are slaughtering yours they get cursed, but being cursed doesn't mean a whole lot for regular troops and it is pretty much inevitable for SCs and thugs anyway. The horror marking is very weak but might envetually do something I guess.

Death curse is like a medallion of vengeance. For a strategy that relies on you /losing/, it doesn't do nearly enough to justify.
