How to Make a Leader Sacred?

I know that at least one item (Shroud of the Battle Saint) will make a unit 'blessed' but how do you make thr leader 'sacred'? (I want to put said leader in combat with the Ark. and not go blind ... or is blessed good enough protection against the Ark?)

Given that sacred units "lose" sacred (since they get the bless icon instead of the sacred one in their attributes) when they're blessed I believe you should be fine. Run a test game if you want to know for sure.

I am 99,9999% sure shroud is enough protection for using ark. Did it many many times.

Thanks for the replies.

I'll try the Shroud. (I guess I was taking the in-game description of the Ark to literally.)

Oh, the best solution is to ignore them sometimes and test it. And yes, Elixir of Life works on lifeless units.

It's too bad, whenever you build a new Temple, that you can't attach one of your commanders to that Temple as it's leader, and maybe give them Holy (+1) for as long as that Temple stands.

Well, they surely get a higher Holy level in regard ot preaching!
