Blessings balance?

Dead units usually have afflictions, but not all the time.

I was thinking about the horror mark thing too, but it should be a very low chance. Having a ton of horror marked units is not only bad, it could be tedious, right? I've actually never experienced it before.

A little bit of life drain sounds cool, too.

Given the number of variables in the system that isn't proof I'm wrong but it's strong evidence. It's also supported because if it's based on current HP there should be more then 1 affliction -- going down 10HP 2 at a blow averages 2.83, 50HP one at a time is 5, 100HP all at once just 1. JK *could* have tweaked it but, 95%, I was wrong and it's the base HP. (Base HP always averages one.)

*remains curious why the blood blessing has yet to be commented on by someone with knowledge*

...

PS -- Someone with awesome powers should add blood slave icons to the Graemlins list.

Maybe because the blood blessings are the same like in Doms 2.

That's very likely.

Newbie question related to blessings.

I have a rainbow pretender, lvl 4 archmage, in all forms of magic. The strategy being he goes from province to province searching for magic sites, lv4 gives 100% chance of success I believe. Is this a good strategy?

When my priests bless my sacred troops, it looks like I am just getting air shield, 20% missle defense. Why am I not getting the other lvl 4 blesses? Or am I and I am not noticing? If I am getting just air shield, why?

This is currently in the Dominions 2 demo, other than changes in bless powers, is the bless system still basically the same in Dominions 3?

Thanks in advance to anyone who shares there wisdom.

You do get the other lvl 4 blesses, at least you should. They are just less noticeable. You should see the Lesser Fear icon though.

As for all LVL 4 blesses...hmmm, I do not know. Does it work for you?

Other blessings are shown when you look at the affected ability. You will notice that your units will have higher attack, defence, strengh and magic resistance when blessed.

you ahould also se your units gaining fear and beserk unless you allready have it, then the value should be higher.

Under fatigue you should also see that your units have reinvigoration.
