Default Shattered Soul for tartarians. Do tell !

In the new patch notes, it looks like Tartarians are going to get changed a bit. If this is what I think it is, I am pretty excited

Shattered soul sort of sounds like it might be a tartarian only form of insanity or something.

I am hoping they become unleashed like the Eater of the Dead.

Eater of the Dead can be captured back, so someone would set up a 'Tartarian hatchery', wait until a Tartarian runs afoul, enslave it, GoR it and use it without any problems.

if they went insane deep in enemy territory though, it may be your opponent that charms them , and not you.

And it is not easy to charm one with high mr and mr boosting items.

That's why you'd set up a Tartarian Hatchery where the tartarians would be until they revoked your rule and became independent. You could even give them non-cursed items that make them vulnerable to magic if any exist...

Or the cost could be tied to what you wish for... which would make the lesser things more viable and therefore interesting and used, instead of always trying to get the most bang for your 100 pearls.

I also like the idea of variable-power Wishes. Probably not so easy to implement but definitely better than prohibiting wishing some things.

Spliting the wish spell is perhaps doable. They just have to create several spells with different costs, copying wish but with a limited list of working keywords for each.

I really dislike the idea of variable power wishes. A wish is a wish. Any unit,
Armageddon, whatever. If the new units as so freaking awesome, maybe the problem
is with them, not with the wish spell. And anyway. A wished for, and wished up,
Seraph dies, just like anything else, to a squad that is tailored to take a
specific target out. I've had an anti-SC Wraith Lord stumble into a twice-wished
Seraph and take it out before it finished buffing (two rounds of attacks)
