My thanks to the poster, I forget who, that clued me in to Magnidine. I hadn't played the Hippus in awhile, and late game this has to be one of the most powerful heroes.
The poster mentioned he was able to capture Acheron with Magnidine. I haven't been able to do that (killed by another civ), but I have been able to recruit a large army of (former) barb Heavy Crossbowmen, Lizard Beastmasters, and Lizard Druids. I have taken to deleting many of my older units including Blooded Werewolves as the new recruits are more powerful.
Two questions:
1. I haven't had the opportunity, but do you think it would be possible to capture the Four Horsemen with Magnidine? It looks like my game will finish before they appear.
2. The other, may be a bug, I'm not sure. The only barb unit I have not been able to capture is an Edelon (bad spelling, sorry). Is this correct? I note that I had never been able to capture one with an Inquisitor too.
thanks
