It might be possible to mod this out. There's a certain attribute you can give units when modding them that gives a chance for afflictions. It might be possible to remove it from the Tartarians if they use that mechanic when they get afflictions.

Someone who has tried modding it this way might be able to tell if it is actually possible or not. It would have to replace the current gate in any case.

It's one way to get around the problem of having the chalice of gift of health making Tartarian summoning much better.

Doesn't work, but it was a nice thought!


Edit: Of course, we *could* just #clearspec and then give them all the fun stuff back as that's the only crazy thing about 'em. Heck, we could make it 50% affliction (which would result in random afflictions, not usually feeble mind) if we wanted to keep flavor!

Edit again: Or not! That's some powerful Juju the devs put on that spell. Dang. Still feebleminded etc.

Lol. I was about post saying that had been my experience as well. The best I could come up with was to steal Hinnom's Lords of Civilization spell (dropping the monstrum from the rotation since only six slots were available) and have them change shape. Main drawback is it limits tart summoning to 6 per turn - ok for my usual size games and worked fine in Momentum3 but obviously wouldn't for CBM. Oh, and I guess some people might be bothered by taking Hinnom's spell, but that I had no problem with.
