THE POPULOUS BIBLE
C.35 Bloodlust
Bloodlust is a powerful guest spell that can be cast on up to six followers to give them supercharged powers for a limited time. It is only encountered on level 16: "Bloodlust" in two stone heads.
It is a special spell (or guest spell. There are 3 in total) and only appears in one level.
You can play with it online, (although it's not very common) anyway, by enabling the guest spell - bloodlust.
When bloodlust is cast on a follower, they will be supercharged in many ways. All followers will become much faster, much stronger, and much tougher. Firewarriors are also able to shoot fireballs at twice the rate. The speed increase means that followers with bloodlust can run fast enough to attack a preacher before he can lull them into a trance.
Normal attacks on followers will have little effect on the bloodlust followers. One warrior with bloodlust can easily take out 6 normal warriors at the same time, or many more if fighting one by one. A simple blast will barely cause a dent but a direct hit with lightning will kill them. Knocking them into water or inside a swamp will kill them too.
They are more resistant to lava too, but will get hypnotised.
An interesting side effect of being extra strong is that an Angel of Death does not kill them when it attacks (at least in the first tries) - the Angel will pick up the follower, but when it spits him him out again, the bloodlust follower will remain alive with some damage taken.
Every unit is dangerous in its own ways when boodlusted (maybe not so much the braves), but a pack of bloodlusted warriors can be the deadliest thing in the game" This spell will last until they die or after 2 minutes.
Bloodlusted units still count as 1 when worshipping.
