I have a Faery Queen set to heal and a feebleminded and wounded Tartarina Monstrum in a province ... I have tested several turn but it seams that the Faery Queen is not able to heal the mosntrum .... why ?

Yeah, that was fixed in a patch I believe or else Arco would be a super Tartarian Factory.

Never thought I'd see a David Mumford quote posted from Germany on a Dominions 2 board! Ha!

I have two questions about this also.
I am playing my first game with Arco, and chose a PoD, and am sad to see that his afflictions cant be healed -- what an idiot am I!
But my questions are:
1. In another post, a smart person had written that the chances for any unit or commander being healed is a set %-chance, no matter how many units in a province are being attempted to get healed. (That is, if you have 1000 wounded in a province or only 1, all wounded have the same chance of getting healed per priestess.) I had somehow thought that the priestess had limited capacities and the fewer wounded to attend to, the higher the chance that one of the wounded would get healed; but now it seems to make sense to gather them all together in one province. Is that correct?
2. Why would Arco make a super Tart-Factory (the only magic they are lacking is death)?

(I guess PoD = Prince of Death Pretender, no? How skilled in Death magic is your Pretender? In addition, recall that a single death caster can easily multiply through the summonable death-mages, and it is not so difficult to get e.g. a wraith-lord to cast tartarian gate...)

Yes, he has nice death skills, heheh, you are right -- but I wouldnt choose one again, I thought he could be healed by the priestesses!

But is the answer to #1 to gather all troops together?
