Won't there be any hints? I'm really helpless right now, trying to figure this riddle out. ;|

The only hints I can think of would give too much away. It's one of very few, you see.

Oh, wait, that was a hint.

The "hint" is just "It's one of very few."

Good guess, HP, but no.

Hint #2: You'd be much more feared if you neglected the friend that gifts you.

What's a cursed artifact? What is this, Nethack? I don't believe negative artifacts are officially called "cursed."

Nothing to do with artifacts.

They're not called negative artifacts either.

An artifact that has negative effects are called Cursed artifact. They have always been cursed artifacts. In fact, a Cursed artifact cannot be removed unless a dispell curse spell has been cast upon it.

I know. I meant Artifacts with Negative Effects. I would have typed that out, but I was making that post from an iPhone.

Isn't it called "Remove Curse?" And what about Bless?

I didn't think you could remove the cursed artifacts in Heroes 2.

Yea, Remove Curse.

Bless isn't used for curses. It's used for blessing things :P. And if we are going by Hero standards, it would only increase your damage.

SO! If it's not an artifact (nor a cursed/negative/belowzero one), it should be "the action of not allowing troops to flee from an encounter"?

Although it can happen in other heroes games...ah, well. Just a shoot in the dark by now. :)

*expecting another hint in the meantime :beg:*

That was caused by the....Shackles of War, right?

That's has something to do with an artifact. It also does not match much of the riddle. Do I need to tell you whether it's the answer?

I will not give you a hint. All I will do is tell you that it is thanks from a friend in the form of a gift, which of course you should already know. Think about what types of things that can be other than artifacts.

Actually, I will give a semi-hint: Unless you have an excellent memory, if you have not played Heroes II in a while, there is no way you'll get this.

Actually, I've meant that single question when you go against an army that's weak and they ask you if they can leave.

Hum, I suppose I'll go for a walkthrough, since I feel it's campaign related and I've never played a campaign in H2, just single maps. If we are to accept a group of units from a friendly player during the role and we refuse, that can turn them against us. Well, if I find something like that, I'll return, because that's what I got by now.

Okay, it's not pursuit and engagement.

Huh? What are you talking about?
