Why do you like Acashic Record so much?

True. Requires a bit more effort to misuse, though. The truly nasty solution would be to make the Fever Fetish living only and cursed - but then it would cost 10 gems to create an item that generated 9 gems in its lifetime (unless placed on recuperating commander or within range of Gift of Health)

On the other hand, not everything that can be abused should be changed - but the more blatant aspects are fair targets

If you make it living only and not-cursed, then it would be almost as effective as today since you can use cheap scouts for the job. The only real effect would be a huge increase in micromanagement, which could be very annoying in single play.

Living only and cursed is a better solution imo since it lessens the micromanagement, even though it is a harder nerf.

Would recuperation on the unit help? Regeneration? healing spells in combat? Pangea with a fire/nature god might be nice candidate. Magic non-healing units gets hp restored in a lab but those are all lifeless and you could probably not put the fewer fetish on them.

I dont have a problem with it remaining unchanged though... since some other nations have access to the clam of pearls.
