Can this be?

[onomastikon]

I noticed when clicking on some units during battles, that I get a reading like this:

basic hitpoints: 125
dominion bonus: -58
current hitpoints: 140

Usually on my pretender, or on someone elses pretender, but also (to lesser degree) on other units. What is going on? I didnt have any HP boosting spells cast, and I cant imagine the others either. Sometimes I see strange calculations like this that just dont add up with other things like attack bonus too. Is that a bug?

The HP is from the previous turn... the bonus will be applied next turn. I'm not sure why it's like that.

Edit: The bonus is dominion-based, 20% per level. It only affects prophets and pretenders.

Hitpoints from dominion bonus or accumulated drain life hitpoints drop gradually. What you are seing is a pretender or prophet that has left a strong friendly dominion and entered a hostile one. So the (125 -58) represents the value his HP would be moving towards if he remained in the province.

ah thanks -- so the "current" is not really 100% current, right, but rather where s/he is heading?

No the current is the current, the original HP -(dominion bonus) is where it is heading.
