Re: Mysterious Pretender
If you want a good pretender build with him, take this:
5 death (for fear +0)
6 earth (for more protection)
10 dominion (for awe +2)
Rest in Scales (Order 3, etc.)
The set him in frontline alone with attack closest comand and attack the first province. He will take over most of the independent provinces just with his Awe, Fear and his good protection. Try not to attack undeads (because of their high morale value)

Yes he was available from the beginning.
There's even been posts about him/it.

Re: Mysterious Pretender
Some things appear and dissapear. If you want to have fun.. every time a .trs file, especially one that starts with the name army, then start looking for new things. Running the all-units game to see if things have been slipped in is fun. Especially when you find a partial build of something that hasnt been put into the game yet.

Re: Mysterious Pretender
It has Encumbrance 0, so while trampling (with Boots of Behemoth) it doesn't accrue fatigue. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Re: Mysterious Pretender
I think you are right. It seems that trampling is the best use of this pretender.

Re: Mysterious Pretender
Really epic Pretender, roleplaying-wise. The mindless and 0 enc are especially nice, although the other stats remind me of a watered-down cyclops.

Might be fun, but with 4 AP he'll just trample once per turn. Not nearly as dangerous as a trampling elephant. |
