As far as I know, the next version of Anamnesis will be the first game to allow you to play as an aristocrat afflicted with delusions of grandeur, athlete's foot and nostalgia for the old times.
Those are only a few examples of the new afflictions that will be assailing you for now on instead of the generic current ones, as each territory will have one for you to acquire if your Weariness goes over 100 while in there.
The new afflictions will be kind of your own character's events. Once you acquire the affliction, you get a small chance of it generating an event at the end of each turn. These afflictions will start easy and get worse if your Weariness continues to rise, each one will also bear different effects, not all of them completely bad.
Again returning to the ones already in place, delusions of grandeur might make you lose Weariness because of your grand you think you are, but it might also get you in trouble increasing Local Tension, while a more serious case will start to reduce your intelligence up to a certain minimum level because you just will stop listening to others and start doing stupid things. Athlete's foot will be more mild, causing you itchy feet, perhaps even healing on its own, or perhaps causing you secondary infections that might reduce your resistance.
After you experience these effects, just like you get the chance to punish or reward your units afterwards, you'll get the chance to do nothing or attempt to heal the affliction, which will have a variable cost in Arkhe, Merits, Weariness or Tension depending on its kind.
These example afflictions are rather mundane, but don't worry, you'll get your chance to experience maddening, bodily-distorting and murder-inducing afflictions in certain territories.
