Use of Wish ...

[Wyatt Hebert]

I have a separate question about wish.

If you wish for Pretender units (like, say, a Daughter of the Land) and then GoR them, do they get their special abilities (gem production et. al.)?

I haven't seen this anywhere, and I thought I'd ask.

I played with wish and GoR in an old almost-won game. Daughther of the land get gems. The son of niefel get ghost wolves (cold scale related summon). The moloch gets imps in battle. The ghost king does not get any ghosts (dominion related summon). They have their default magic levels.

It seems that everything works except dominion related summons which makes sense.

edit: after a few more turns the ghost king got some ghosts. strange.

Getting allies is a special ability of the unit. It is not god-related.

Why strange? It depends on Dominion and only seems to happen about 1/3 of the turns even in a strong dominion.

I was expecting it every turn, and when I suddenly got 6 ghosts at once I got surprised.

I've never seen a Doom Horror, but I've heard they're stupendously tough. If so, is there ever a reason to wish for anything else ?

Yes. Doom Horrors are extremely powerful against traditional living units, but they do have weaknesses, mostly against things which can't be lifedrained or soul slayed.
