Healing afflictions on undead units

[Xietor]

I know as a fact the chalice heals afflictions of tartarian gates.

Does anyone know for certain whether a faerie queen can heal afflictions of undead units? For some reason I seem to recall KO saying they do not for thematic reasons, but i have not tested it.

[Baalz]

As far as I know the chalice and GoH are the only two ways to remove undead (and old age) afflictions. I don't think any of the healer units can heal undead and the fairy queen in particular seems to be a poor healer.

[Valandil]

Immortality also works, not sure if there are any undead with Recuperation.

FAQ

[Xietor]

HAs FAQ been updated after the last patch? It is a very good resource. On afflictions, however, it suggests you can get a faerie queen at conj. 7, but it is in fact conj. 8.

Maybe it was 7 in dom II, i cannot remember.

[Meglobob]

The Fairy Queen is indeed a poor healer. Pretty much useless at healing Tartarians when I tried over 20 or so turns. The Fairy Queen is better on living units but still not that good.

Has anyone any experience of the Spenta of Waters (Caelum national spell, Call Amesha Spenta), it says in the description it can heal, the question is how good is its healing ability?

Healers are that I know of:-

Chalice.
Gift of Health.
Arco Priestess.
EA Ermor healer (whats it called?).
Fairy Queen.
Call Amesha Spenta (the water one).
Some national heros (anyone name them?).

Have I missed any healers out? If so let me know. I am always stuck for healing ability in the late game, because someone else always gets the chalice or GoH before me. Has anyone come up with a easy'ish way to get decent healing abilty late on that does not involve Chalice/GoH?

Very rare abilty healing.

[Baalz]

It's deliberately very difficult to make afflictions rather permanent. I think outside of wishing the fairy queen (a bleh healer) is the only non-nation specific way to get healing other than the chalice and GoH (which obviously are only available to one at a time), though there may be some indies and Edi lists some magic sites in the FAQ if you're lucky (not like you can plan for that though).

[Edi]

I've not updated the afflictions section in a while and the FQ conj level may be wrong, but it says everything needed about healing afflictions on undead: You need the Chalice or GoH to do it. Otherwise you are out of luck. The sites are unknown wrt undead. Pay attention.

[Xietor]

Edi, you do a great job on FAQ, bugs etc. We all owe you a debt.

However, I still like to verify some things with the active players in the community as I have found several things that are not working as intended.

Many things I just test myself, but time constraints prevent me from testing everything. And I did actually do a test with 2 FQ's, but since they also failed to heal a sleeper in 20 turns, my test did not yield conclusive results.

[Sombre]

I imagine MA Tienchi will get a healer in the next patch.

Seems like the Elixir of life should be mentioned in the FAQ. It also stops aging.

[Edi]

I'll add the Elixir. I should also note that in the next patch we're going to get to see just what percentage healing those units with the ability get, since healing gets its own icon.

MMmmmmm..... Patch goodness....

[Aethyr]

Hmmm...

Two heroes:

Ho Hisine-Ku (EA T'ien Ch'i)

EA Sauromatia also has a healer w/mulitiple paths whose name I did not commit to memory.

[Kristoffer O]

Kirke. Witch that turns Ulysseus men into swine (is that his proper english name?).

[Ferrosol]

Ulysses is the correct spelling and is based on the Latin for his name

The Greek translation into English is Odysseus

The witches name is usually translated into English as Circe

but thats just me being pendantic.

[Morkilus]

As opposed to Captain Kirke, who has the seduce ability that works only on non-human females.

I am pretty sure it worked on human females as well.

Sigh...I really miss the mini-skirts all the female crew members had to wear in the original Star Trek... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif
