If I understand correctly, lesser fear -4 which you get from the death 4 blessing results only in 1 square (or maybe 2 squares, it's nt really clear) out of 8 that surround the unit being randomly selected for the effect and enemies, if present in that square, have to make a morale check while having a bonus of +1.

Thanks for putting me onto the morale thread HJ as I missed that one.

Regarding the Fear affects I'm still not sure if its a random square. The only phrase I could find is that "it spreads somewhat eratically." However I'm in a rush so please let me know if I've missed something. Working on the general principle that the developers of Dom tend to make sensible decisions I still suspect that "it spreads somewhat eratically" starting with the square directly in front of the fear unit. Where else is the scariest place to be in relation to a terrifying creature?

I might be guilty of hoping I'm right on this as I do like the idea of adding terror effects on sacred troops for alot of reasons including thematic. If it is useful at low levels it is a good way of getting an extra bless effect when you can't afford to go all the way - often the case. As it adds a new ability at low levels rather than modifying an existing one its potential for changing troop types is significant.

BTW - this is a great thread. I've learnt heaps from following it and testing some of the ideas out.

Cheers
