Simple Idea for Witch Doctors ...

[Scott Hebert]

I would view the ability to heal ONLY diseases as something not worth bothering with. I mean, what you're proposing is just not really strategically sound, from a logistical sense. If you're playing against hostile dominions or Miasma (which I guess qualifies), you're not going to stay in that dominion to heal your troops. Also, if you get unlucky and don't heal the disease in a few turns, the troop will have enough afflictions that it's probably better off dead anyway.

On the other hand, if you don't stay in their dominion to heal people, you're not gaining anything.

Now, if you're proposing that they heal diseases _without using a command_... I would have to oppose that suggestion on the grounds that it's unbalancing.

Have you considered the possibility for abuse of Fever Fetishes? You can just move the Fetishes around while the Witch Doctors just heal the diseases. Especially if they remove the ability of undead to have the Fetish, you're talking about Machaka being the only nation to be able to profit long-term from them.

No, I really don't think the Witch Doctor needs anything to make him good just as he is.
