capturing acheron and the held attribute

[alberta jefe]

I'm currently playing ff2040y.exe and I can't figure out acheron. been scouring the threads:

Question 1: if I capture Acheron red dragon with beastmaster (or whatever) can he move or is he held?
this answer changed over the different versions of the game.

question 2: I also built tower of elements and got the big elemental who is held; haste does not counter this, is there any spell to remove held?

thanks,

ps. I love capturing enemies' heroes with religious units owning the (10% chance capture upgrade)

First things first. I think you should upgrade to z.

He can move

question 2: I also built tower of elements and got the big elemental who is held; haste does not counter this, is there any spell to remove held?

No there isn't. This elemental will stay held forever.

1. I haven't tried it since, but a few changes back I believe Acheron was set to lose the Held promo if captured.

2. As far as I know, the elemental that spawns to guard the Tower can never move.... it's job is strictly to guard the Tower, nothing else.

EDIT:

he is not held under player control.

The Tower of Elements' Elemental spawn can not move. It acts as a guardian for that city.

EDIT: Pwned in the cross post

A bit offtopic here:
I can play BTS only because of revolution, dale's combat mod (capturing tiles with culture->influence via combat) and in some good mods like Wolfshanze or Rise of Mankind. It's fun to play a "real world" game with nations popping out here and there. Well, if FFH had a good-working revolutions modcomp I'd be happy (however it would require more minor leaders though to avoid lizardmen->balseraph spawning thingie).
