Sounds like someone I'd want to keep out of games I was in.

If he has an explanation if he shows up then it would be ok but if not then yeah it would be a bad idea to partake in games he is in.

No, of course not. My god is taking out the commander with wait and attack rear. The archers just have to survive the charging knights long enough to keep my commander from autorouting. That is the plan anyway...

The enemy priest is far too powerful for a regular assassin to kill. Only my god can kill that dude.

actually, i saw your pretender, and one-on-one with a priest i doubt he'll break a sweat. i'd be more worried about getting swarmed. it'll all come down to timing.. you're probably puttin your guys way at the back and doing the classic "wait for it.... wait for it... waaiiit foor it!!!..." while the knights advance leaving their priest vulnerable.. but doesn't the AI always leave bodyguards on their casters?

They would presumably get mauled by anything close to a SC pretender - though I suppose they may slow him down enough for the archers to break. I would be more concerned about badly implemented orders - the Pretender getting distracted & smacking into the back of the knights. Seems pretty random what happens with attack rear but flying helps a lot.

In the scout attack, I saw that the commander had no bodyguards. If fact, he stayed behind to cast spells, thus providing some separation between him and the Heavy Infantry.

My biggest worry is that the pretender does not fly all the way to the back and lands in the infantry. If I have scripted it correctly, he has two rounds of attacks before my archers are gone. He could possibly be dead in two rounds from the sheer mass of HI.

Hm... I am getting cold feet. Maybe I ought to play it safe and not attack. After all, I am a total newbie and never did anything like this before.


CHICKEN???

Edited to say 'Cluck cluck!' I just changed it to not attack.

"My biggest worry is that the pretender does not fly all the way to the back and lands in the infantry."

someone posted in a thread not long ago that for every squad you have to make a morale save. if you fail, your troops/SC attacks them instead of the rear.

But your Pretender has pretty high morale, so he should have no problem flyin to the rear..
