False. None of Gath's units other than the Iassacharite Sybyl's can enter the Sybilline Caves, which is why I thought it was cool. The site says "An Astral mage may enter to scry", but I have a 1S mage (non-Sybyl) who cannot use it. The description of the Iassacharite Sybyls alludes to them having learned their skills from the Sybyls of Arcos and that scholars refute this notion. Maybe this is the proof?

As for your question Sombre, I am not sure if any other units can the caves. I wonder if there is a hidden tag for Sybyl? Classic Dominions moment where you are amazed at the level of detail in the design (especially if it is just Sybyls).

Don, I think maybe you already had a mage scrying or something. I just tried sticking a Gath Virtue into the Sybilline Caves and had no problem. Only one mage can enter at a time. An S2 Kohen Gadol worked too.

The description of the Caves just says any astral mage can scry.

Noooohhhh!!!

You're right vfb. I thought I'd checked that. So much for the Sybilline connection. Any Astral mage can use it. Oh well, still neat you can use someone else's national site, just not as cool as I thought.

False.

I've figured it out. I read things on the forums, they seem to be true, and then I repeat them - and I always seem to be wrong. State something from my own experience that I've never seen anyone else say, I'm actually right.

I don't know if this has been reported before, but it appears mummies (Hall Of Fame returnee mummies anyway) can catch diseases and get afflictions from them.

Interesting.

I had reported that a mummy with the armor of virtue took damage and then went home (from the disease). I had looked at it as a problem with armor of return - but it may be he did indeed take damage from disease.

Any undead can catch diseases, I believe. Getting afflicted by them is a bit odd, though.

Entering sites is not restricted by nation. Homemonsters and homecommanders are.

Did you know ... if your MR drops to -1, then you die?

Foul Vapors + Life After Death = souless mage, MR5.
Feeblemind affliction = MR1.
Wielding Eye of Void = MR-1 ... oops! Unit vanishes in a puff of logic.

Log shows:

damage 9999 on Soulless, spec0x0 ba0^M
looseallitems: cnr 921(Dernan) unr 3684^M
