That would also remove disease as a problem everywhere. Reduce the use of rain of toads disease demon, C'tis dominion, and others. And it would make it easier to tart spam. (As you would need 2 research levels less).

Rain of toads is an early/mid game spell, which you do to destroy income (the disease is a slightly benefical side effect). Disease demon doesn't properly work. MA C'tis (together with EA C'tis) is one of the nations hit most hard by tarts being useless now, so if they could spam tarts, so much better for them. With the exception of making tarts spammable, all the other things can already now be fixed with Fairie Queens; in effect making the chalice non-unique would just affect tarts and other undeads compared to the situation now.
But you are right. Fixing by making chalice non-unique would dig up new, even more horrible problems. Then again, I really meant making the price of the chalice *lots* (maybe I should have typed that as
*LOTS* to make it more apparent what I meant) more expensive. Like something you would whimper if you had to craft even one, even if your neighbour payed half of the price.
EDIT: thejeff's comment about old age is a valid one. Then again, old age can be circumvented already now.
