Is this a spell that i cannot find? Or, is it a magic site in Marignon (House of Fiery Justice)??

A global enchantment called Purgatory. (Hit F6 to see the list of active globals.) The spell is Thaumaturgy L7, L6 fire mage needed to cast it. See page 119 in the manual.

The only way to be safe from this is to either get rid of the spell, or be sure that your undead/unholy troops are not in provinces under the dominion of the nation that cast it. Use living or non-demonic troops and you'll be unaffected.

Then it's probably Fires from Afar (Evocation-3, F3, page 91). I've never been on the receiving end of it (I dish it out often), but its effects are not limited to undead/unholy. It kills about 10% of all units in the province. Perhaps the text you see that mentions undead/unholy is a bug. Purgatory is the only one that is specific in that way AFAIK.

It is the marignon home site that bLast your undead. It has a set probability of killing any of the undeads in the province each turn, no matter their hitpoints.

The Diabolical Faith Version of the same site doesn't have this effect (fortunately for DF Marignon), although it has the same name, graphic and gem production. (It also doesn't allow the production of Grand Masters, of course; DF's own Goetic Masters can be recruited anywhere.)

ok, i have taken over Marignon (and eliminated Marignon). During the time I was seiging Marignon, I kept getting this message:

"Your undead and demonic troops in Marignon are being struck by holy fire."

At first, I figured this was Marignon's priests (or mages) casting a spell, to eliminate my undead troops (playing as Carrion Woods Pangaea). Then, I took Marignon, and still, that message kept coming up. So, again, I figued Marignons priests or mages were casting it on me from somewhere else. Then, I took Marignon completely out of the game. For a few turns, i didn't get the message. But now, it is happening again...but, only in that Province (Marignon).

Is this a spell that i cannot find? Or, is it a magic site in Marignon (House of Fiery Justice)??

Thanks
