Legendary Cruelty?

[Lingchih]

I just got the Legendary Cruelty heroic ability on a commander in an SP game. Is that new? I have never seen it before. Seems to give you Fear +0, and increased likelihood to give afflictions.

No

Not new. Have seen it several times now. Great in MP games to justify your actions.

It's one of the rare ones like Awe, Undead General and Adept Researcher. It's an enhanced form of Battle Bellow (which gives fear), much like Heroic Agility is an enhanced form of Lightning Reflexes and Heroic Battle Prowess.

All hail the Bloody Mummers then. (Song of Fire and Ice reference)

Half the characters in ASoIF probably have this trait.

[MaxWilson]

And the other half are dead by now.

Would I be correct in guessing that you recently changed the nation you are playing?

I say that because I have noticed that there is some sort of quasi-relationship between unit type and heroic abilities. When I play the same nation for an extended period I seem to get the same set of heroic abilities and when I change nations there seems to be another set. The sets are not mutually exclusive, but I have clealy noticed some sort of pattern in the distribution of the heroic abilities.

And if you look at random newspaper clippings enough, you'll see patterns emerge there too. It's a conspiracy, man.

[Xox]

I think Edratman is right, there is a relationship between unit type and heoric abilities.

And Reno, yes one can see patterns in everything if you keep looking, but refusing to see any patterns ( or conspiracies) is just the flip side of the Wrong coin.
