Staying wounded needs to be tweaked it's too punishing

Agreed, great idea! What does quick-heal entail?

I'm also going to be modifying the process of healing from wounds for everyone, which has been in a bad state for a while (I've tried a few different methods that didn't work out well).

My current thought is to have it choose, based on some fancy randomness, how fast you're going to heal from this wound: fast, medium, slow, or get worse before you get better. There will be some variance in all of them (for instance, even in the medium condition, there will be some chance of getting a little worse early on), but they will, on average, follow trajectories that match their descriptions.

So "quick-heal" is basically "you heal up a decent amount every turn."

Yea, I'm all for newbies getting freebies, but wounds as they are feel too harsh for everyone.

Yeah; the last change I made was just not well-thought-through  :P

Sorry about that.

So wounds worsening more often is the product of your recent change?

Lightly wounded. Wounded. Seriously wounded. Critically wounded......

Yeah my infil got wounded as well and also turned to seriously wounded. Are all wounds now deteriorating suddenly?

So one dude FINALLY healed, the other just got wounded... was entering a region with only 1 monster unit seen incoming, and then paf, soloing 15k on my own. Didn't end well.

3 turns in a row now critically wounded.

My char also went from wounded to seriously wounded, then back to wounded (yeah) and now up to seriously wounded again. Critically wounded also tends to take a bit longer in general.

But the good news is that this was not intentional and that with all the bug fixes and changes something went wrong in terms of the wounding and Anaris is working on it. So we have to sit out the ride a while longer, but they got our back at least. A brighter future looms.

To be clear:

The way wounding works currently was completely intentional. It was just also completely stupid.

Mea culpa; I'm working on the fix.

Seems I was wrong then. Anaris just enjoyed seeing half of the East Island being wounded in the same region  :o

Hehe, and well I'm waiting for my 2nd char to heal now so the third can get wounded.

Any ETA on the fix btw?

I wonder why it was changed in the first place. Was it to make heroes die more likely? I mean to be honest, heroes just don't die often :D Maybe more dead heroes would be better. But then again, Hero class itself is pretty underwhelming despite putting your life on the line.
