Unholy blessing

I dont understand what is broken. I was playing unpatched 3.06 LA ermor a few days ago and the blesses worked fine. Is it that indy preists cannot bless undead?

It's that anyone who doesn't have Unholy powers instead of Holy powers can't bless Undead. So any nations that can somehow acquire sacred undead can't bless them. I think the fix just makes it so bless affects undead also.

Oh I see, I thought that was WAD. Guess not.

It was working as designed.

Except that Ermor was the only nation with access to the unholy powers and other nations have sacred undead, (C'tis Tomb Wyrms, eg) but no way to bless them.
A better fix would be to come up with a logical way to assign unholy powers.

Incidentally, as far as I can tell it has no effect on indy priests ability or inability to raise the dead. Are you sure that isn't a patch change or another mod or something?

Given what it does (look at the mod file if you don't believe me) I can't imagine how it would possibly have such an effect.

I thought that unholy bless does not work at all (that even Ermor can't bless its undead).

If the problem is only that other nations like C'tis don't have priests with unholy bless, why not just mod in some extra carefully balanced units for them?

I'm not sure what you mean by "mod in extra carefully balanced units"?

You could change their sacred undead to non-undead, I guess, but that's really changing the whole theme of the nation.

You're right! I need to switch the brand of crack I'm smoking.

I wonder if that was a different mod I was thinking did that...

It does more than just that - as it makes indy priests for LA Ermor unable to raise the dead.
