Pocket Lich gone Wild

[Lingchih]

Saw something strange last night. I was playing my first game with 3.10, Formorians (a totally bad *** race, btw, but that deserves another thread).

Anyway, I went to take a tough indy province. The commander there had in his possession... Caracator the Pocket Lich! I have never seen an artifact on an indy commander before. But I thought, well, that's kind of cool. Makes it possible to get an artifact early on, without the need to research construction 8. That's kind of a cool change, I thought.

As the battle was winding down, my giants went chasing after a straggler, but I could not see who. Then I noticed an odd looking softball bouncing around the battlefield. Lo and behold, it was Carcator, on his own and running (more like bouncing) like hell.

He wasn't very fast, one of my Giants crushed him. When the turn was over though, one of my commanders had Carcator in his misc. slot. Very cool, I thought, got him.

When I went to battle with him equipped though, his behavior was very odd. He never casted spells, like Carcator usually does. His first action would be to jump out of the commanders bag, and rush into battle like some crazed softball. He always died very quickly, since he had no attack. So his behavior was, I guess, like the Pocket Knight, except he's not much of a Knight.

Weird, eh?
