Quick Question

What does affliction chance mean on blessed troops. When you get death magic the bless effects read affliction chance 100% or 200% etc.

What about the blood magic level 9 bless?

Means the unit they attack is that much more likely to receive battle afflictions.

Means that if the blessed unit is killed then its attacker gets the curse mark. Not that useful.

Hey, it's stupid noobie question hour again. I figured this one was appropriate for the 'quick question' thread...

Here is my quick question:

What effect do the seasons have?

I mean, I know what seasons are, but in terms of gameplay, is there any actual effect? Weather? Supplies? Random Events? Etc...?

Just wondering.

Thanks.

I know the seasonal beasts get a bonus in their respective season (Spring Hawks, Summer Lions, Fall Bears, Winter Wolves). And heat/cold scales tend to tip with the seasons from what I've seen, but the effect is very minor.

Some units, notably Tien's Warriors of Five Elements and Red Guards are stronger on spring. Seasonal Spirits are stronger in their corresponding seasons.

Winters are colder. IIRC. Not sure...

The main effects of seasons is temperature changes - hotter in summer, colder in winter. Then there are some summoned creatures, and at least one recruitable unit, which are stronger in some seasons than in others. Finally, I think some random events only come in certain seasons - snowfall causing gold loss comes in winter, for instance.

Thanks for all the stupendously quick responses!
