Question is on a distinguished road
Default Re: Whoah theres a lot of micro management in this game

How do you avoid horror marks then? I thought theres no way to resist it, other than hoping the AI marks the wrong unit.

Is there any way to deal with unit killing global enchantments if you do not have astral magic to dispell them? Things like call of the wild, the kindly ones, etc. My pretender managed to kill one of kindly ones by luck (spirit helmet lightning bolts), but ended up with 5 afflictions in the process.

Horror Mark Avoidance: Hit nations without astral magic with SC pretenders. You need astral 1 to horror mark, which means that several nations simply can't do it. Eventually, they may break into Astral magic from a position of none (which is a pain to do), but not early enough for your pretender to be the big thing you have going for you.

Globals: Overload them with one of your own. Admittedly, its a bit haphazard, but then, if you overload with Gift of Health in particular it can help your units survive longer.

You can also try killing them, that will make them go away.

Killing who? If you mean whoever has the capacity to horror mark you, then yes, that does fix that problem, though you won't want to use stuff you don't want horror marked to do it. If you mean killing whatever you has that is horror marked, it doesn't work. Horror mark remains through death, and can't be removed.
