Hotfix or not? Developer comment would be good.

In 3.00, Horror Marking can kill your pretender. This has been changed for 3.01. I didn't test the spell itself, but horrors killing a Risen Oracle multiple times won't cause him so severe Horror Mark he would be killed every turn.

I think it's possible to change Hall of Fame via some command line parameters. If it can be switched to 0, there won't be any Heroes to be attacked by the Hunter.

Hotfix would be good.

Would it be possible to make a mod that significantly weakens the units that Horror Mark sends? (I admit, I haven't tried to look at the modding commands)

Weakening the Hunter of Heroes should be easy enough. He is the only horror affected by the bug.

Fix yes, but hot no. It will be fixed in the next patch. I don't know when it will be ready but it won't be this week.

I'm sorry to hear that, since the Doom Horror bug makes the current patch kinda worthless by completely wrecking MP games.

Does the doom horror bug only effect a specific era?

The reason I ask is because I'm playing two multiplayer LAN games and haven't experienced this nasty bug.
(4 commanders in the hall of fame ranging from mercenaries to regular commanders I bought)
(the other game has about 3 commanders in the hall of fame)

From the link calmon provides another gamer ' Hetzer ' was also not experiencing this issue.

It's a pity. Having your pretender/HOF SCs killed by a bug can ruin MP game for the player.

I hope fix will come out soon. I also hope none of my MP game hosts would upgrade to 3.01, but they all did.

It might be a very good idea actually. Kindof player-made hotfix.

I haven't played with dom moding yet. Is changing stats of HOH easy to do? If so, if someone would do it a post link to his mod on the forum, it would be awesome.
