Mutations

[Wyrmhero]

I know how to get mutations (chaos mana or Balseraph UU) but what is the chance for a mutated unit with chaos mana, and what promotions can they randomly get?

 

[xienwolf]

You can also get Mutations from the Divine Chaos 2 spell (OO priests).

Possibilities are:
Amphibious
Blitz
Cannibalize
Cold Resistance
Combat 1
Crazed
Diseased
Empower1
Enervated
Enraged
Fire Resistance
Heavy
Heroic Defense
Heroic Strength
Immune to Disease
Light
Lightning Resistance
Mobility 1
Poison Resistance
Regeneration
Sentry
Stoneskin
Strong
Vulnerable to Fire
Weak
Withered


So really it is almost always in your favor to mutate. As I recall it is an 8% chance to get each one of them, no limit to how many you can get (and no minimum, so you can mutate and get nothing)

 

[Wyrmhero]

Thanks. I was wondering what the chance of getting each was as well. What is the actual chance of getting randomly mutated by chaos mana?

 

[Chip56]

I think its 2 or 3% per chaos mana.

 

[xienwolf]

Yeah I forgot you had asked that part as well. Actually that was the only one I was going to answer at first It is 2% per Chaos mana.

 

[Wyrmhero]

Thanks Chip & Xienwolf. How did you find this out, by the way? Is there a section in your guide that I missed, Xienwolf, or...?

 

[Nikis-Knight]

It's also entirely possible to get promotions that counteract, such as weak + strong and both resistant and vulnerable to fire.

 

[xienwolf]

There are approximately 90 pages of my guide that you missed because I am still writting them/filling in the data

Got the information out of the XML though for the moment since I am currently in the process of adding all promotions to the new version of the guide. (I just hope it comes out under 10MB so I can still upload it...)

And for the "negative" mutations -- which can be removed, and by what?

 

[Lord Bayushi]

Diseased can be removed by several sources, all the rest of the negative promotions can be cured by dispanding the unit, otherwise you roll the dice.

 

[xienwolf]

Going off what I can remember at the moment instead of digging through the XML, so one or 2 might be dispellable since I haven't looked over that list at all yet...


Crazed - Cannot be removed. But only downside is that it causes Enraged.

Diseased - Cure Disease Spell, Aquae Sucellus, or Pool of Tears

Enervated - Pool of Tears

Enraged - Win in Combat, or Pool of Tears (I think)

Heavy & Light - Cannot "Cure" but it is a mixed blessing, not completely a bad effect.

Vulnerable to Fire - Cannot Cure.

Weak - Cannot Cure

Withered - Pool of Tears.

Crazed and Enraged - send them to plains , near stack of your strong units. When them become barbarian - kill it and get experience.
If bad promos - cast burning blood, watch them become barbs - kill, get exp.
Or, other side, you can stack weak warriors in cities or defend undoubtfull defended ones for military happiness.
