Light Infantry commander? Bug?

[Duncanish]

I'm playing as Caelum in an ongoing PbEM game. We recently had to redo a turn due to a mix up. After going in to re-issue my orders, I notice an extra commander at my home province. I check his stats, and can clearly see that it's a Caelian Light Infantry, waiting for orders. It's still early in the game, and there's no chance I GoR'd it and simply forgot. Has anyone else had anything like this happen? A normally weak trooper suddenly gaining the backbone to say, "Okay troops, follow me!" Sounds buggy...

Were you using some sort of mod?

[Duncanish]

The only mod active was the Sacred Salamanders mod. Besides, if it was a mod, everyone would have had to be using it, correct?

[Zapmeister]

Has anyone else had anything like this happen?

Yes, exactly the same thing (except it was a falchioneer) in the same game. I think the mixup has corrupted the game.

I think this is the "reincarnation" feature.

I had a Mictlan slave spring into being with a custom name and magic paths...both of which corresponded with a recently deceased Tien Chi hero.

So what you're seeing is probably a Light Infantry that's a reincarnation of some other recently deceased individual. If he came into being with magic paths, then in his Last life, he was some sort of mage. If you saw nothing interesting about him, then he was probably a regular commander in his Last life.

Reincarnation feature, if it is a feature, is rather nifty... Especially when it is seen on Devils/ Undead! I had it happen with a devil (Orokestes! 1AEWF+3SH for Pangaea, SP in D1:PPP , so undead would be possible too. And with Orokestes, it was really thematic.
