Corrupted by Nurgle - trait - gamebreaking?

[Mrmarko123]

What's going on with this trait? - I had rifts open up in my home region, closed all of the rifts within a couple of turns.

Then 2 of my lords & each of the 2 heroes within my 2 armies all gained the 'Corrupted by Nurgle trait'

No big deal?.

Well, each one gives -5 to control and -5% replenishment rate, which stacks & can't be removed.

I'm now stuck with a legendary lord who can't replenish his armies (no +replenishment skills for N'Kari) - can't spend any time in my own areas without -30 to public order (on legendary it's pretty hard to maintain as it is), but also don't seem to be able to remove it by staying in my capital city.

I didn't gain these traits from being in the chaos rift either, I closed them & didn't enter.

Are they traits or plague?

If Plague - Wait it out, there will be a green skull next to your army, it will display how long the plague will last.

If Trait - go to your capital building and wait, it has a 50% chance each turn to remove negative traits. IF you build the Skaven Discovery Building (Tier 3, same catagory as walls, looks like a burning torch) it adds another 50% so if you have that build it will remove a negative trait 100% guaranteed each turn (some negative traits have multiple levels, it can only remove 1 per turn).

Like why even make this a mechanic, it so dumb it forces you to move your army for doing fun stuff all the way home to your capital.

I agree this trait is dumb but i managed to get rid of it on my characters, you have to go sit in untainted land for 3 turns any human or dawrf settlement will do.

Btw take all the heros out of your army to replenish before you goto human settlements because you will have to survive an onslaught of armies while sitting in untainted land trying to remove it.

You also don't want to capture the settlement just sit around in the area till the trait goes away killing enemies then after its gone u can take the settlement to replenish.

And last thing take all your armies when you go to sit in untainted land just to be safe.

Any region capital will remove the traid debuff. It makes this mechanic at least somewhat bearable.

No it does not remove it this only works for the chaos realm traits it does not work for any of the corrupt traits, the only way to remove it is what i said above.

So it means that as N'kari and the embedded heroes I have to go to some backwater untainted land to get rid of it all the while the aforementioned characters spread Slaaneshi corruption by just being there? How does that work when I have to recover from claiming the souls/replenish/recruit? This really is gamebreaking as it stacks.

Absolutely hate this trait when playing demons, cant remove it, and tzeentch and slaanesh already have low army replenishment rate without this trait.

Trait can usually be removed in like 2 turns in your own province, but it's currently bugged for Daemons. Capital cities don't work as others have suggested, you need to spend a couple turns in a province with minimal corruption.

That is only for the traits gained in the chaos realms (so called chaos realm traits).

To quote the province capital description:

Chance of removing a trait gained from visiting the Realms of Chaos: +50% (garrisoned Lords)

What he is referring to is likely a trait gained by Nurgle corruption (Not 100% certain since i don't know what all the traits are called yet, but he post does indicate that he didn't go into the chaos realms but rather got it from Nurgle corruption caused by the rifts).

As far as i know the only way to remove said trait is spending time in a province with 0 corruption (pretty much impossible for any of the other chaos races since they spread their own type of corruption).

[eRe4s3r]

You can only remove the corruption traits from regional corruption effects if ALL corruptions are below 8 in a region, which tangentially isn't gonna happen unless you travel really far away from the chaos lands and you need to camp there for 3-4 turns without increasing any corruption above 8... so yeah, pretty dang broken.

You can camp in Praag region to make it go away, if you have a death-wish.

Thanks for this, I had no idea how to remove & I'm currently at war & can't maintain enough of an army to defend my lands & travel half way across the map from the very top to a land with no corruption.

How do I counter the fact that my lord generates corruption also?.

Exactly my problem, I literally can't boost it with Slaanesh on my lords & as soon as I go on the offence I can't replenish. It's essentially killed my campaign I was doing well on.

If i was nord I could manage I guess, but as I'm half way across the map to anything untainted & all my characters generate corruption - I'm borked.

I'm surprised that the demon races can even get these traits - as the text implies it's only meant to work against the 'good races' who can remove it with some hard work & focus on reducing corruption.

I'm going to go out and guess it's a bug for it to stick to Demon lords other races corruptions.
