The fortune tellers each have something like 5% chance of eliminating a bad event. Nothing like the 75% of the great seer of the deeps or 15% of the norns.

I tried out Black Forest Last night, hoping to duplicate the results of people from the other Black Forest thread. I found them to be disappointing, but I must have been doing something wrong. While expansion was no real trouble against indy 3, it was all done the old fashioned way (pikes and shields). I stuck a blood 1 mage in each conquered province and started hunting, but didn't have enough slaves until at least turn 7. I made a vamp on turn 8, sent him off to an independent and he was promptly killed by a group of archers. Tried again against a different province, same result.

A build order or some basic strategy on how to exploit the uniqueness of Black Forest would be appreciated by this newb (especially with blood magic). While I can do well with Black Forest, the start doesn't really feel any different than it would with a normal Ulm (or plenty of other nations that I don't really know how to play).

I love Black forest

But how much does a death 1 scale kill of population in each turn?

Are multiple fortune tellers cumulative? Or does one give maximum coverage?

This is good to know.

I was wondering would it be possible to add icons for those and many other similar things the way pillage bonus, siege bonus and affliction healing was added in this patch? It would be awsome to have the data readily displayed instead of guessing at what the description text really meant.

Who cares, they're just dumb peasants.
