Did he have a Ritual of Returning on him? If he had a Ritual of Returning cast, it might have LOOKED like you killed him, but he got away. Never heard of a shaman cursing your own units and ignoring the enemy units, though.
The shammy cursed all 7 of my commanders and ignored the independents 3 commanders. Dont know about the ritual of returning but it was only like turn 20 and I did get the standard "you killed our god we hate you forever" message
The shammy was attacking indies with a commander and 2 priests and yep he is still in my army. T'ien chi went comp controlled a few turns back and i've wiped my armies ..he is attacking me with peasants ..hard to believe Last province I cant see is chock full of priests but i'll know soon enuff
Aye but he came back the turn after I killed him storming the castle walls and kiling all his researchers.... and yes good old shammy curse spell. At least the god came back all kinds of crippled and I spanked him again
