Hotfix or not? Developer comment would be good.

Well it definitely effects early era (as my 30 defence, 6 attack per turn, mistformed, mirror images taking up 9 squares, 290 health, awe +2 never-tiring pretender will tell you)

Well if your pretender died from one of these horrors having that kind of build then it sounds like the super horrors need to be nerfed or made very rare.

The Hunter of Heroes seems intented to kill anyone it attacks.

Problem is my pretender lacked lifedrain, regen, luck, ethereality and i hadnt boosted him mr.

The etherealness won't matter; all their attacks are flagged magic. Also, luck rapidly ceases to matter due to Curse Luck. Can't remember if they're flagged lifeless or not.

MR, however, must be boosted esp. against the Hunter of Heroes's instadeath Consume Soul.

I think "The Hunter of Heroes" is a coward After getting hit with morph bug after defeating The Hunter of Heroes I wanted to check if the battle vs him always result in morphing. But he has never attacked since then (I could think that he stayed dead in the same game, but he hasn't attacked in other game either). Curious...

My guess is the Hunter of Heroes bug only effects the early era, but I haven't heard anything official.

It affects all eras, however, the Luck scale does have some protection against it. For example I've only had it happen once in Luck2, and never in Luck3, no matter how many turns I run.

Also I think it grows in chances the more kills/advancement into the HoF you do.

Misfortune 2 or 3 you will get hit by it, some games very often.

Tried several games with luck +2 or +3, and got attacked at least once or twice each game after a few years.
If luck indeed reduce the chance of attack, I don't want to know how it would be with misfortune ! ^_^

HoF ranking might indeed increase the chance of attack, but even then, it should be something very rare, that happens once in 10 games or less, not several times each game.

I like the concept of a horror hunting famous heroes, but playwise, this should not happen so much (currently it seems worse to be in the HoF that to be horror marked), and should not happen to pretenders

Servers should get in the habit of making a backup copy of at LEAST the dom.exe they are using when they patch. In case players dont want to patch for any reason then you can host the game on the old exe while still using the new exe for other purposes (hosting other games or playing)

Nope, I just saw it on my 1st hosted pbem turn with 3.01 in a MA game. It killed my prophet, I killed the patch (reinstalled 3.00 and reran the turn)!
