The Eye of Aiming is cursed, and Ulm did not acquire it. I wonder if Ulm had its miscellaneous slots filled though?

The chance to "aquire" an item from the battlefield is higher for cursed items, and gets better for items from higher research levels - but it isn't 100% in any case.
AFAIK. Exact machincs could have changed silenty, though.

Hmmm, interesting. I always thought is was a 100% chance. Good to know.

My subjective impression is that the chance is also higher if it's from a dead unit on your own side. Even Earth Boots get picked up pretty reliably when one of my mages dies.
