Blessing

[Freyland]

On the topic of Blessings, what exactly is the level 9 blood Blessing "death curse". I cannot seem to find a spell in the manual to correspond.

Anyone know?

Death curse causes the unit that killed the blessed unit to become cursed if it fails a MR check.

There is a chance that when killed the unit will "Curse" the killer.

That could be hand for cheap sacred units that you buy in mass as front-line. Like the Flagellants of Marignon. Or fast flankers like the cu-se (sp?) of Man/Tuatha

Cu Sidhe, which are probably the best light cavalry in the game. 18 health, 13 morale, 13 magic resist, stealthy, sacred, 14 strength, 13 attack, 3/28 move, all for 16 gold and 1 resource. They don't do much against heavy units but they tear through anything with 10 or less protection.

My personal opinion is the Blood 9 Blessing is almost totally useless in it's current form.

That being said, if I had to use it to it's most effectiveness, I'd probably do something that you can have alot of and could benefit from having some strength. Vestals work for this.

fountain of blood for diabolic faith marignon, in MP.

maybe that could be done. the blessing will help the flag's attack (on the rare times it connects, so you'ld likely want fire 4 or above), and the mass cursing may made others shy away from attacking you.
