While we're waiting for the demo...

I think Rhianne heals afflictions naturally, by way of the unicorn she rides, and I think that may also be true of Bernlad. Its been my experience that rings of regeneration do not heal afflictions, whether the affliction was acquired before or after the ring was equipped. Is it possible that the healing behavior you attibuted to the rings was actually due to unicorns? Have you seen it with commanders from nations other than Man?

I haven't seen it with Hildegard, who rides a unicorn and is Ulmish. Can't think of anyone else right now... Maybe it is due to unicorns, but in the Bernlad description it attributes his regenerative abilities to his armour, for whatever that's worth.

I think I have seen this effect before with non-unicorn commanders too, but I'm not 100% positive about this. Perhaps one of the devs can speak to this issue?

BTW, since I posted Last Rhianne has managed to kill another 2 gods! She killed a manticore and a prince of death. Now her defense is a shocking 44 - I think she should vie for godhood.

The regeneration of Bernlad is intrinisc. All units riding unicorns recovers from afflictions.

What other units intrinsicly heal? I've seen Pangaen units do it, but are there any other special cases? What about Pretenders?

Is there a difference, Johan, or is it just flavour?

I mean it's not as though you can take Rhianne off her unicorn and make her ride a plowhorse, making her no longer recover from afflictions. Is there a difference between Bernlad's regenerative abilities and unicorn-riders' healing afflictions?

Both are intrinsic, but the healing is healing of afflictions and the regeneration is recovering hp in battles and negating 90% of incured afflictions during the battle, regen. will not let you get rid of afflictions that you recieve just lessen the chance of getting them. If I recall correctly, and I am not at all certain I do, the 25% chance per hit of getting an affliction from curse is also affected by the regeneration affliction reduction.
