[Vanilla] Why won't my Musketman heal?

[Carassius]

There is another unit beside him, so I am sure he is not being attacked in any way. His hitpoints seem to be stuck and never return to full health. What am I missing?

Thanks!

Do you have any spare nitre?

 

[criZp]

you lack niter. musketman require niter, and cannot heal when your niter storage is 0.

WHAT !?!?!?!?!

I have never run into this before. I got enough faction with a city-state to upgrade all my swordmen, and then let my faction with them drop.

This makes the muskets kind of vulnerable.

Are there any other units in the game like this - that need a particular resource to heal?

Any unit that needs a resource needs that resouce to heal

Note, it won't consume it, and you only need one. But you will always need that one

Sure, having to maintain resources is all part of a strategy game. That it only requires one is kind of kiddie pool.

Thanks everyone for the help.

In the same token. If I build an Ironclad via Admiral Yi Sun Shin before I discovered Coal. I will not be able to repair it until coal is obtained right?

The admiral abilities for the ironclad and battleship give 1 (or 2?) free coal per turn.

This used to be the case from the start of the game but was resolved as per @Tech Osen
