This has me thinking how much room for expansion is available for Dominions_4.

Currently Dominions_3 has the following unit types:
Normal (Currently no icon... usually human)
Animals
Cold-Blooded
Demons
Magical
Undeads

----
----
Here are some others which hopefully will be included with unique tags and traits for Dominions_4:

Cold-Blooded (changed to Reptiles?)
Insects
Plant_Life (better name? 1am my time{sleepy})
Angelic (Opposite of Demons)
Void Beings (These awesome things should have their own tag)

Thanks lch!

I assume recuperation, the Chalice, and GoH all work using the same mechanism? But the Chalice (at least) must get multiple attempts.

Could #11 be a missing head?

@NTJedi, if you look at Edi's spreadsheet, you'll see all the current "type" attributes:
mindless, lifeless, undead, demon, magicbeing, stone, animal, coldblooded

That's the mechanic to heal one affliction, which prolly is used by all of them, yes, though those all work differently. The Chalice has a special province-wide heal, which has two guaranteed heals (affliction removal attempts) on all units of the controlling player in the Chalice's province.

Might be. Is it that easy to reattach a new head?

P.S.: vfb, you were right, the effect in question is "Lost the head". Who'd think that it's that easy to find and attach new heads.

lost weapon (tail/pincer/branch/tentacle/...): 25% chance

I get «tail chopped off» on devils pretty often, and they always seem to regenerate the tail right after the battle, without any healing, no matter what other afflictions do they have.

That might be a lizard-like recuperation effect after battle then. A healer can take care of things that slipped through, though, what I wrote is exactly like the mechanic works in the game, it's not just from empiric tests.

I think demons might have some sort of built in recuperation. I remember afflictions disappearing off my Hannyas for no good reason. This is pure speculation after several

. So perhaps it's better just to ignore me right now.

Like, 2 years played the game, often used blood nations, and never saw the tail chopped off affliction on devils

That's even for things like that, that I love this game, I suppose

@vfb - Hannyas have a small amount of regeneration. That is probably healing their wounds.

@Ich - Just to see if I understand this, healers (the units) can heal at most 1 affliction/turn? Is there any particular order in which they choose targets (eg, commanders first)?
I always though the healers made a check against every wounded unit in the province (but then, I never use healers so I don't really know).
