Getting rid of haunted land as Mechanos

[Hansebenger]

Have the Mechanos no ability to remove haunted land ? Neither their Adepts nor their Tech Priests can execute the holy spell to remove haunted land.
Do I overlook something ?

IIRC that's done by a Life 1 spell, can't their adepts learn it?

 

[Hansebenger]

The Mechanos cant use Mana except for Reffineries. Their Adepts cant learn spells^^

Tech-Priests have the spell Vitalize, which removes Haunted Lands. But that's a pretty late game unit. Now that the haunted lands have no positive yields, Mechanos should get an earlier unit with the ability to remove them.

I believe the Mechanos are also lacking the ability to put out forest fires, so maybe some unit should get Spring.

 

[Hansebenger]

Vitalize removes Haunted Lands ? Great^^

A similar problem might exist if your enemy starts scorching all your Plains to Deserts.

Sounds like the Mechanos need a "fire brigade" How about a cheap Drone Unit (Max:4) available at Steam Power that can be sacrificed to remove all smoke, flames, haunted lands etc. and a Mechanos only Worker Promotion "Irrigate Desert" available at Architecture.

I for one thinks this is a good idea

Why must it be sacrificed? Make removal of haunted lands, smoke, flames a work order that just takes a while. Though they may be cheap, it is yet more micromanagement to replace them.

I gave the Adeptus quite a few new abilities in my version, but tied them to the mana techs.

Scorch, Spring, Destroy Undead, Sanctify, etc. They aren't utterly useless techs anymore.

The necromancy tech could be used for biowarfare: plague, wasting sickness, nucks oh my

agreed, it's very annoying to have to wait so long to get rid of those damn haunted lands
