Default Re: LA Ulm - Undead Commander

So fortune-telling *does* add... Well, I'd like to go on the record as saying that I wish it didn't, and it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me that it should. If I've got 10 units that each have a 2% chance to nullify a bad event (1 in 50, x10), then that's still significant protection, without making the choice to take Misfortune 3 over say Misfortune 2, essentially-or atleast eventually-meaningless.

Actually, it's still just for *that* province, where the unit is located, isn't it? So maybe not so meaningless, if you're pushing your Dominion.

Still, I do wish it worked the other way.

The reason I favor a commander like the undead general that you can buy right from the get go, is that Bane of Heresy may be what stands between you and a bless rush. While any intelligent player can find ways to lead undead troops, it would be thematic and convenient, especially for a race like LA Ulm who is far from overpowered, to have an undead general.

Sort of similar to the one that KO's Kingmaker race has. my 2 cents.

While I originally mentioned that it isn't necessary, I've come to rather like the idea. It could be as simple as adding #poorundeadleader to one of the mages (Second Tier, perhaps?).
