Healing afflictions?

[Sandro]

Hello! I wonder if there is a way to heal battle/age afflictions? I cant bear losing my dear necromancers http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Death magic protects you against aging. Battle afflictions can be healed, but those caused by old age can't. Healers that can heal other's wounds exist, but are rare: Arocscephale of all ages gets Priestesses that have this ability, EA Ermor has capital-only commanders that can heal, and Tien Chi can get one as a hero.

Faery Queen at high level Conjuration can heal afflictions as well.

The Chalice, an Artifact, heals afflictions in the province it is in.

Gift of Health, a global enchantment, can heal not only the normal afflictions, but even those that come with age. It takes a high-level Nature mage and some Enchantment research to cast that.

Necros have a nice thematic way to circumvent aging problems : make them cast Twiceborn and send them die in your dominion !
Wight mages don't suffer from old age http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

[Endoperez]

Hmm... Perhaps mages who have cast Twiceborn should have a new command available: "Become a Wight Mage". http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

You mean, 'commit suicide' command? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Can we add a battle order for mages with pheonix pyre? Charge and kill yourself repeatedly? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

"Attack Closest"

Or even "Attack Rear" if you're feeling lucky!

Yikes. Arch Theurg with F random and horde of communicants: Communion Master, Phoenix Pyre, Flight, Attack Rear...
Don't blame me if you get hit by this. Unless I manage to pull it off myself...

[Cainehill]

Heh. Or a _pretender_ with the right paths, who casts those spells and then retreats. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

[Graeme Dice]

I don't think that targeted buff spells transfer to communicants, so the flight spell might not work. I don't think that body ethereal transfers for example.

[Daynarr]

Nope, they don't. At least they didn't use to. However, one might try to cast quicken self and then have them run screaming at the enemy.

[Frostmourne27]

heh. I've never used theurg communicants ever since I cast quickness with a 32 strong communion in dom 2 (I was going for master enslave) as soon as I quickened, all my communicants took off and ran screaming accross the battlefield. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

I thought nature magic circumvented age...

[Frostmourne27]

I believe it adds 25 to max age, per point.

[Wick]

Each point of Nature adds half of the base old age. Since most units are old at 50, that's usually 25.
