Crippling Poison

[maglock]

Every turn in my current game I keep getting messages that an assassin has poisoned my units. Some of them get the message "crippling poison" and it gives the unit the Weak promotion.

What causes this so I can stop it?

I look in world builder and there are no assassin units anywhere on my land so is it some sort of event in Wildmana?

you have council of esus in your city, but have not joined the cult, so either:
-join the council
-or get rid of the cult

Thanks tesb, this was driving me nuts

I believe the higher the crime rate in the relevant Cult-infested city, the worse the chance of a nasty poisoning. Lower crime cities I thought got a "poisoning" (new unit losing health %) but higher crime cities risk a "crippling poisoning" (lose some health and get the Weak promotion). So if you aren't positioned to get rid of the Cult for some reason in a key city, trying to lower the crime level through things like courthouse, dungeon, wise event choices if they come up and can impact crime, might be something you try to hand manage.
