Bug or Bad Design?

[Sammual]

On Turn 31 of a large game one of the AIs cast Burden of Time and 1 of my units dies.
On Turn 32 5 of my units die and I start to think that this will suck in the long run so I do to dispel the spell and find out that these numbers were the numbers of COMMANDERS that died not units. My God, Prophet, and 3 of my 4 mages are gone. There were no combats, no other death Messages, no notification that my God died.

Sammual - I think this spell is a bit overpowered (Or I got the worse die roll in history)

I've always hated that spell...

I've never been THAT unlucky, though. At any rate, I think it adds flavor to the game.

Does Magic Resistance or Luck artifacts help prevent these spells from killing important game players?

Who knows?

Excluding IW.

I hope you were just unlucky. That is a horrible result. It would be great if an advisor would speak to this.

I think he got the worst die roll on history. From my experience the effects are only uterly devastating on the long run because AFAIK it also kills provinces and increases unrest. As for the unit hurting effect, i mostly get dead units or units with afflictions.
