My Pretender: Elmer Fudd

[Twan]

The combo of two research items seem to often trigger an horror mark (I have lots of sages with lightless lantern+ skull mentor marked in some games). Perhaps it's based on total research capacity (not cool for a great sage if it's the case).

[Nerfix]

Lightless Lantern has a chance to give a horror mark.

[Fate]

That is certainly aggravating (good idea with the dome).

I some friends come opver for hotseat. One of them went for full scales with a dormant pretender. They were getting all these good events, and then they got the witch's curse event. It said 1 troop had been cursed. I told him it was probably a normal one and not worth the worry. We go to look at his army and his commander was the only troop cursed ( ).

this game always keeps you on your toes

[Shovah32]

As nerfix said, lightless lantern can horror mark. I dont know how he got cursed but perhaps old age could have caused some of the other problems?

[Nerfix]

Curse can come from a random event, disease, hmmmm, no idea.

[Tichy]

Could there be an undiscovered magic site(s) in the province he's in causing bad effects?

[Daynarr]

Yes. Those sites are active even if not discovered.
