Re: Which is better, Knight or Serpent Cataphract
I would think it is the Cataphract Rider that is sacred. Once he is killed, the serpent is no longer sacred. Makes sense to me anyway.

Re: Which is better, Knight or Serpent Cataphract
Just want to say ... I think these units that continue to fight after the rider is lost are pretty cool! It adds nice atmosphere to the game.
They should make Moose and Wolf Riders do this too, that would be fun!

Re: Which is better, Knight or Serpent Cataphract
on the units whose mounts live on after the rider dies:
1. cave drakes are cold blooded, yet with a rider they do not show this quality. bug?
2. will a cave drake commander unit (or any similar unit) whose rider dies remain a commander. So a cave drake rider dies, do you get a drake commander? I mean that would be kind of weird.
soldier: "sir, the enemy calvary is falling in on the northern flank! what are your orders?"
cave drake commander: "raaawwwr!!!!"
soldier: "of course sir!"
cave drake commander: "Rawwr, rarwwwer, rawr. RAAARWWWR!"
soldier: "YES SIR! LOUD AND CLEAR!"
cave drake commander: "raawwr."
soldier: "of course sir, we will save you one of their legs for dinner tonight"

Re: Which is better, Knight or Serpent Cataphract
I think you end up with spiders commanders from Machaka's knights. I know I have
charmed some when fighting against them, but it may be because of a Charm quirk,
i.e. not working as designed.

Re: Which is better, Knight or Serpent Cataphract
Well, on the issue of the serpent + rider not being cold-blooded, please note that the rider him/herself is a significant-and probably sufficient-heat source. I've had some experience with snakes and they don't need to be inside an oven to be relatively comfortable.
Cold-blooded reptiles probably should get at minimum a 25% poison resistance, across the board, because of their slow metabolisms and generally extreme toughness. Not to mention that they've, as a species, been around for so many millions of years, that they're bound to have some immunity to anything natural.
