How to heal battle wounds?

[Gnollmar]

Ok, so some priests can heal diseases, but what about battle wounds,. any way to heal these? over time? rest in castle? priest?

Units with recuperation or immortality lose afflictions on their over time. Unless I'm mistaken, units with a second shape (like Jaguar Warriors) can lose afflictions while changing their shape.

Beyond that, there's a number of units with healing ability (such as priestesses of LA Arcoscephale), blood mages can cast Blood Feast to cure afflictions (with a malus of killing population from then on), Gift of Health ritual cures afflictions, as does The Chalice artifact. I believe there's also a magical site or two that can cure them, but they certainly aren't something you can count on.

The healing mechanics are also briefly covered in the manual, but more or less as kimmokm said. Healing afflictions from undead or lifeless creatures without immortality or recuperation is only possible with Gift of Health, though, if my reading of it is correct.

If I remember well some items provide morphing can't they be used in the purpose to cure afflictions?

I felt that mechanism for standard units was generating a lot too much micromanagement if you start bother with that. It's still a pain in the a... for some big units like mammoth, for example have a wound that make some very slow is a total garbage, but it's too much troubles to try manage it. For commander I saw there's items to lower chance to get wounds or providing luck, could worth use it I don't know.

For me that wound mechanism defeat the features of experience level of standard units, could be ok globally anyway, I just quote it defeat. I also gave up any idea of using special elite army having max experience, it's just pointless because of the wounds mechanism.
