 Horror marks stack: that is to say that a unit which is marked multiple times has a more severe mark and will be the target of more frequent and stronger horror attacks. There is currently no way to tell how badly horror marked any given unit is.
-There is no way to remove a horror mark entirely. The only exception is units that may return once slain - for them Horror Marks are reduced every turn spent dead.

 ===== Horror Attacks =====
-{{:independents:lesser_horror.png?nolink |}}When hosting a turn, there are three different destinctions used by the game when deciding to send a horror assassination to a marked commander. First, the game considers "normal" horror assassinations. After this, there are then additional separate chances to send ??Umor - Eater of Gods?? to marked [[pretender]]s and ??Rarku - Hunter of Heroes?? to creatures in the Hall of Fame.

 The attack rate of horrors is dependent on several factors, and is calculated by the game as follows(([[:user:loggy:horrors|Analysis of the Dominions 5.51b executable]])):

 === Hunter of Heroes ===
-<WRAP column 80px> \\ {{ :independents:hunter_of_heroes.png?nolink |}} \\ \\ \\  </WRAP><WRAP column 720px>The probability of attack is calculated very similarly to the ??Eater of Gods??, with two notable differences:
+??Rarku - Hunter of Heroes?? seeks out commanders with heroic abilities or that are in the Hall of Fame. As with the above, [[Mindless]] commanders are unaffected.
-  - The chance to skip eligible commanders is 10% instead of 50%.

+<WRAP column 80px> \\ {{ :independents:hunter_of_heroes.png?nolink |}} \\ \\ \\  </WRAP><WRAP column 720px>The probability of attack is calculated very similarly to the ??Eater of Gods??:
-Combined, ??Rarku - Hunter of Heroes?? is therefore 2/5 as likely to attack an eligible commander as the Eater of Gods.
+  * Any commander currently in the Hall of Fame has a 32.5% chance to be considered for an attack.
+  * Any commander with a heroic ability that is not in the Hall of Fame has a 10% to be considered for an attack.
+  * If neither Astral Corruption nor the Cataclysm are active, at least one horror mark is required to be attacked. The attack chance is then 2% + 0.4% per mark, rounded down, to a maximum attack chance of 10% at 20 or more horror marks.
+  * Otherwise, the attack rate is 2% + 4% per mark, to a maximum attack chance of 20% at 5 or more horror marks.
+  * Rarku may only attack a single commander per turn this way. Commanders are processed in ascending ID order, meaning that lower ID commanders with heroic abilities are more likely to be attacked than higher ID ones.
