Death bless and arrows
Does it really work ? I mean, you can perforate light infantry anyway. As for heavies, especially with shields, they're not likely to get more that 2-4 damage anyway. We know affliction chance is based on damage dealt compared to creature's max health. So 2 damage arrow isn't very likely to cause an affliction. How much does death compensate for this ?

Oh yeah, it works pretty good. If you have 400% affliction chance, then that 2 points of arrow damage to a 10 hp human is an 80% chance of an affliction.

Re: Balancing the blesses
Death bless afflictions would be pointless against Pangaea. Depends on who your friend(s) is playing as well i think.
And even with Man, by mid game the bulk of my armies are KOA(heal afflictions) and longbows(do not heal but harder to target with mage).

Re: Balancing the blesses
Actually death bless wouldnt be pointless, even if the enemys elites are only afflicted for a few battles it could be a big help.

Re: Balancing the blesses
I'm of the mindset that says that afflictions are a form of psychological warfare. Not all afflictions are damaging in combat, and even those that are aren't always crippling. The AI likes to invade me with armies of Niefel Huskarls that it can't feed, and they all wind up diseased, but it doesn't make them noticeably worse at taking down undersized armies. But I know I hate to see that ugly red heart on my commanders (even if it's something harmless like battle fright), and I don't like it on my shiny new armies either.
Anyone who plays Pangaea is probably immune to this feeling.
