Okay, im trying to make my own custom pretenders and have some questions.

[tkobo]

The line that defines ones magic ability in holy magic would read #mag_priest (number)

Thats for a good priest.What would it read for an evil priest ?
Ive tried "unholy","unholy priest","priest unholy" and a few more variations.But cant seem to find it.

Next,how do i assign bodygaurds using the text lines ?

#bodyguards (number) doesnt seem to work.

Next,can abilities be added or taken away from a pretender using the text lines ?

According to the docs its supposed to be #mag_unpriest

#bodyguards (number) (type)
the type can be text in quotes, or it can be a number which you can get from the AllView game (which is what I tend to do)

Not really. The best you can do is using equipment.

Thanks great help as usaul .

I am however still not getting the add bodygaurd lines to work.
Is there a limit on the amount of body guards ?
Ive been trying with the (number) at 5.
Is there some limits on the type of bodyguard a given pretender/commander may have ?
Is there some particular order this line must be in to work ?
I am putting it right after the comname line .

Hahhahahahahahahaa. Okay, i tried a different bodyguard type and they now appear in the battle.
BUT they attack the commander they are bodyguard for

???? I dont think Ive ever had that. They do swarm around him, and of course auras like heat cold or poison can hurt, but never actually attacked. Were ou trying to attach doom horrors to someone with an equipment item that horror-marked them?

Horrors, Ashen Angels and Lammashtas are always hostile, unless they are commanders. Perhaps the Unfettered Eater of the Dead as well.

* Edit: hmm, not entirely true. Wish doesn't give you commanders. It must be the Unfettered fellow. *

I was trying to make Arthurs opposite.Since there seems to be more "dark"/"evil" looking options in the pictures for the units and prtenders at this time, i decided to start with that side first.

The bodygaurds that attacked were Medusa,Heavy calvary and Black knights.
Others didnt seem to show at all.I havent kept a list of the ones that didnt seem to show yet.
I will start to keep track later this week.Unless of course i get it to work .Im sure im doing something wrong,i just have no clue what yet

That all view map is very helpful.As have been you guys.

I plan on doing the arthur setting for a mod.Probably take me awhile though.On the positive side ,theres already a map of england and I am making some progress in pretender workings.

On a side note,the medusa i used for bodygaurd on the Last attempt (with a newer pretender design)retreated off the map on my enemies side.Just ran all the way across the map and retreated.Made me laugh alot
