The Tautha Commander rides a unicorn, has an alicorn attack, but does not have recuperation (or at least does not have a recuperation icon
).
In a couple of my games under 2.08 I have had suspicious increases in province defense, without events to notify me of any increase. I wonder if conscription is active for more than Tien Chi. Certainly the effects seem like the conscription thing: small increases in PD, mostly in provinces I haven't bought any for.
[I know I was playing New Era Pangaea one of the times - other than that I'm not sure.]
apologies if either of these concerns have been raised before - I confess I did not search the entire thread to check.
