Curse of Stones

[NTJedi]

The description says enemy units.

[Zeldor]

I know what description says. I am pretty sure it affects friendly units too, unless it got fixed recently.

[quantum_mechani]

Actually it was broken twice. It was broken for a long time (since dom 2?) before IW fixed it. Then CB broke it again and a later version fixed it back.

[Sombre]

Ah, that's why I was confused.

[RegnorVex]

I just tested this. After casting Curse of Stones I could see many (but not all) of the opposing armies had the Curse of Stones icon in their description along with the expected level of fatigue. None of my many armies were affected, despite numerous castings. Perhaps it was bugged and is now fixed to match the description?

I just read quantum's reply. That explains it!

[Tolkien]

So Curse of Stones only affects enemy units now?

Neato.

[WraithLord]

Awesome, I was also under the impression that it was bugged and effected your own troops as well. So for me it was only useful when coupled with relief. It is still borderline useful but for start to mid game can have some usefulness.

[Amorphous]

It is a very good spell.

And regarding the battle with Machaka I find it likely that it was cast by your enemy, too. At least I absolutely love using it when I play Machaka - there is something very satisfying in comparing the fatigue of your own naturally low encumbrance troops with that of your enemies' almost passed out heavily armoured ones.

[Ironhawk]

Yeah I was sure it effected friendlies as well. This is really good to know. I'd cast it sometimes anyway when it was broken if I had an E bless or some other fatigue reducer. Handy when you are repelling a seige attempt too.

When it was bugged and affected everyone- it was really only useful for Earth blessed troops.

Its worked for awhile and is strong.
