Feeblemind harder to cure?

[Xietor]

in a mp game , one of my mages got feebleminded doing a mind hunt. no worries i am arcos. with 3 priestesses healing, about 20 turns have passed and he is still feebleminded. Has 3.14 increased the difficulty of healing this affliction?

Feeblemind was always the hardest to heal. That's why most Tartarians start with that affliction. Even with the Chalice it may take a year or more to heal it.

[Xietor]

I can't recall any affliction lasting beyond 3-4 turns with 3 priestesses healing. But maybe i was just luckier in my previous games. Never healing wound used to be the hardest to heal.

It's not an Astral-powered Prince of Death or anything like that, is it? Priestesses can't heal the undead.

I think Feeblemind is as hard to heal as Never healing wound. Or even worse.

I have never got any problem with healing Tartarians from feeblemind. They get out of the affliction in few months. But I use gift of health though. Not sure if I am so lucky or GoH is just more effective than healers.

priesstess and other healers can´t heal undead or old age afflictions.
Gift of health and the chalice can.

[Xietor]

Nope he is not undead. He is an astrologer.

Feeblemind is indeed a tough one, I had a Gorgon SC get Botulfed, and she had to sit out at least a half-dozen turns before it wore off even with Recuperation and Gift of Health.

Never healing wound is harsh on a Gorgon as well. During one game, I was convinced she was not going to recuperate from the never healing wound (-20% hp). Finally after many turns she did though, and all was well in the world http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif.
