Quick Question concerning healing afflictions

HoneyBadger · #1 April 18th, 2007, 12:14 AM

What's the most powerful national recruitable sacred commander that heals it's own afflictions? on a unit for unit basis.

Thanks.

Also-what summons heal their own afflictions?

I was actually curious if it's possible to heal afflictions caused by item implants like the heart that gives you a chest wound, or the magical eyes that give you eye loss?

Units with recuperation can heal wounds like the black heart or eye loss.

The word powerful can be open to opinion. I would look to Pangaea to find a commander with recuperation that will do what you are looking for.

See bullet #6 under Q: Can I get rid of afflictions? How? in the FAQ.

You could always cast Gift of Reason on any normal recuperating unit (eg Knight of Avalon) and make it your prophet or give it a shroud. Depends on how many you want and what you'll be doing with them I suppose.

Arco Oreiads are recruitable sacred recuperating commanders too.

Really? I checked out the FAQ as was recommended.

>Finally, afflictions caused by items such as Black Heart or Eye of Aiming cannot be healed in any way. They can be healed only if the item is removed, which is very difficult in most cases and involves powerful magic when possible at all.<

I think the FAQ is correct, in game mechanics because unless you can remove the item, an item that cripples tends to renew its crippling each turn. Makes sense for false eyes. "Look honey, I re-grew a great new eye in my bionic eye socket, and they both work great!" makes no sense. Healing a chest wound from an artificial heart makes more sense though. To me, anyway.

I put that part in the FAQ on the word of someone else when it came up in the FAQ Discussion thread. I don't remember who said it, but there was a distinct claim that item-caused afflictions don't heal. It is possible that afflictions caused by hearts can be healed, but that person was very adamant about eye afflictions not healing.

I did not test those assumptions, but editing a commander with recuperation into a map file and assigning one of the heart items and an Eye of Aiming, then hosting for e.g. 30 turns should give some results.
