Why boatloads? I've never used Dispel... since it looks like it cost at least 70 gems to cast, does that mean one would need at least 70 to cancel it (even though the Dispel spell only costs 30 to cast)?

Well - look at Ermor's gem income, the highest in the game. Lots of that are going to be death gems, making it unlikely that he cast it with the minimum amount (which I thought was 80).

Default Next turn: Paradise Lost

Next turn is up, sorry i took so long

But while Burden of time, time is relativ.

I get a message every turn, how many units has been "strucked"

Have anyone an idea how much the percantance chance is for every unit to get afflictons?

So if a global was cast for the minimum amount for that spell + X additional gems, to cancel it with Dispel, one just needs at least X gems above the minimum cost, right?

So even though Burden of time costs 70, and let's say 10 extra was used for 80, to cancel it one wouldn't need 50 extra pearls to cancel it (since Dispel only costs 30), right? You would only need 40 (30+X). It doesn't really make it clear in the manual.

And if there are multiple globals up, you can't choose which one to Dispel, it just randomly picks one, right?
