Doctor, Physician, or Herbalist?

[HopliteElite]

The topic title pretty much explains it all. Is there any difference in the casualty recovery rate of these three ancilliaries? I have all three at my disposal at the moment and it's only the best for my field generals.

so what happens when a general got 2 of them? does it double the effect?

No, because they can't get more than one.

What Olaf said. Notice the ExcludedAncillaries clause.

Why make them identical? I would think a little variety would be better.

[bovi]

I do not know the rationale. Just checked the code http://forum.europabarbarorum.org/images/smilies/new2/spider.gif.

[Sarkiss]

No, because they can't get more than one.
i would thought so too, but in both Pontic and Armenian campaigns, in their advanced stages i have quite a few generals with both doctor AND herbalist.:inquisitive:

That could be because there are a couple of faction/culture specific healers as well. The exclusion doesn't seem to be set for those.
