The Ark can kill your pretender?
 

Well, it can. Your sacred troops are immune, but your pretender can be killed, blinded, or diseased, just like any other atheist.

Does anyone else find this highly suspect? I can't really see much of a game balance rationale, and I definitely can't see any thematic reason. What giveth?

Re: The Ark can kill your pretender?
 

not a rationale, but i figure immunity is conferred by the "sacred" flag, which one's pretender doesn't have. Same reason he's not blessed w/ his own blessing http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

I never used the arc before what does he require to forge ?

There might be a big use for especially niefelheim forging and using it . They could use some niefel jarl scs + a few niefel gigants to prevent rout and voila i think it would be devastating http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Does the armor that makes one sacred work on pretender ?
And does it save you from the Arc effect if you use it on e.g. Ice devils ?

Re: The Ark can kill your pretender?
 

shroud of the battle saint doesn't work on pretenders, but it does confer sacred status on anyone else.

Re: The Ark can kill your pretender?
 

Not to nitpick, but that's not correct -- the shroud blesses you, it wont make you sacred, and your butt will still get fried by the Ark when you are wearing it.

Re: The Ark can kill your pretender?
 

oh no way

that's no nitpick - i was flat out wrong

BTW, Boron's question regarding how you can get the Ark has not been answered ...

Re: The Ark can kill your pretender?
 

The MIQR 3.1 states it a 4F4A.

For you zealots out there find it here www.techno-mage.com/~zen/MIpdfv3.1.xls in Excel format.

When you make it into a PDF, please send me a copy so I can update what I have on my site (which is v3.0). BTW, the Version on Shrapnel's site is v2.5, which is now six revisions behind. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/eek.gif
