Fantomen:

Sickle - hidden income of 30D/turn is not game breaking? It's more than you can get from Well of Misery, and that globals is "I want to win" sign already. There should be no hidden gem profit. Also there shouldn't be a way to kill your own troops for some gains. With Sickle you can just happily turtle and use huge D income for nasty stuff.

Ankh/LoD - sure, I have nothing against that thing, if used as supposed - to get back some fragile afflicted mages as they had bad luck in one battle. But not to create tens of reanimators for nation that is not supposed to have them. Or for having upkeep-free researchers.

Bogus - have you ever seen it in action? Scouts or air mages with bows scripted to 'fire mages'? Flying anti-thugs scripted to attack commanders? I have. And it's not cool and there is no way to use it against your enemy, unless you find another Bogus around. I've heard about people contemplating plans on what scales to pick with N nation to get the most chance for Bogus to appear, so he can be charmed.

Jarkko:

I have, many times. Just put 1-2 really cheap items on a diseased mage, it should be enough to trigger the script.
