The City of the Damned

[K]

I've seen it all of twice, and only once in my game.

It's wicked fun. I wish it was more common.

Thanks RamsHead.

Looks like I'm gonna be happy I found the City of the Damned!

I tried out the Forgotten City and in a single turn my guy was:

- Attacked by a Lesser Horror
- Entered the Forgotten City, got shot and killed by a huge ballista bolt, then:
- Got attacked by the Abomination of Desolation. Leave me alone, doom horror! I'm already dead! (I think he may actually have survived the bolt, but it looks funny like he was killed twice.)

The City of the Damned is a walk in the park in comparison.

Among the many wonderful items you can find in the City of the Damned, you can find the mysterious and powerful ... Slave Collar. Nooooo .... don't wear it!!! Bah.

Immortals do return from being killed in the City. And Disintegrate works pretty well on the Maker of Ruins .

Behold, peons... the power of hex diving!

The Forgotten City and the City of the Damned are both rare and unique, their bitmask indicates they cannot be found underwater.

The Forgotten City is a level 3 astral site. The City of the Damned is a level 2 death site.

They both have power 192 - enter for adventure! The argument for this power (same place in the file that the # of gems goes for gem income) is 10 for the Forgotten City and 7 for the City of the Damned. Maybe other values would enable other adventures? Who knows?

No other sites have this power.

In addition, the City of the Damned has a 2% chance of horror marking you each turn you stay in the province, and the Forgotten City has a 1% chance of cursing you each turn you stay in the province.

DOOM!

These sites sound like some good fun! Can't wait to find one myself

Both are also listed in the DB.

I got a message a few times that my commander had been cursed when entering The City of the Damned. Weird thing was, he always got diseased, not cursed. It was okay, though, he was an immortal vampire, so he got better.

Edit: I finally got a unique item out of the City, it's the Rod of Death (now I have 2 ). I ended up just sending in H1 priests with some Pikeneer bodyguards. The priests died a lot, but they're cheap enough to be expendable.
