My pretender died for no reason!
That. I was playing Man in a large random map with three other factions. I had formed a nice little kingdom and then, all of a sudden, when I begin a new turn, I get a message that my Pretender had been vanquished. He had like 50 longbowmen and 20 or so knights in his army, plus 5 wardens guarding him. I didn't get any assassination warnings, so that can't be the reason.
The only thing I can think of right now is a big bunch of items (about 6 or so) he gained after beating a couple of neutral heroes that were defending an independent province. Two of them, a helm and a piece of armour, granted negative (-3 and -1, respectively) Defense to him, for some reason.
I didn't threw those away, so they *might* have killed him if his own Defense attribute went negative when I ended of the turn. I wouldn't know, since I only got the game yesterday, so any ideas will be appreciated.
