Pretender changed form?

3.04 patch is installed.
Any way to fix is manually? Maybe hex edit save file?

Before 3.04, when there was a bug that mage the Hunter of Heroes attack units in the Hall of Fame even when not horror marked, there have been multiple case of this bug : unit attacked by the Horror and changed to unit #1 (the legionnaire unit that you got)

That your pretender is now old is normal : it kept it previous age (pretenders are always several centuries old), but with the new "old age" value for a human (base 50 year)

And doom horrors such as the Eater of the gods have attacks that themselves add horror marks to the target, that's why they come more often now.

But yes, the transformation in unit #1 is indeed a bug, we'll have to wait for Illwinter to fix it.

Ok, thanks for help. I'll just start a new game and will be careful with horrors next time

As long as your pretender has some nature magic... with enough research you can cast transformation... which will probably help.
Also if he has some death magic you can cast twiceborn on him which should help against the horrors.

Last if he has some astral magic you can have him cast 'returning' which will have him cast his first spell back to the capital.

Hmm, I tried that - cast transformation once, no effect. Will try again.

I did that, and gave him armor of virtue later
