Q. about The Ark

But the Ark will disease / blind your pretender if he goes into a battle with the Ark present, as will non-sacred prophets, neither of which makes sense to me.

Well, your pretender is a false god. The Ark can sense that sort of thing. At least your followers are sincere in their false religion. Still awfully silly, if you ask me.

Cainehill, does the non-sacred prophets part refer to Ermorian prophets and DT C'tis unholy priests?

If the Ark only checks Sacred stat, being Blessed wouldn't help at all. If being a Prophet only makes you Blessed, like the Shroud of the Saint...

Wait, prophetizing a unit does not set it as sacred if it wasn't already?

Then again, that does make sense from the program mechanics perspective, even if it doesn't from the game perspective. And I suppose it checks the intrinsic sacred flag, instead of whether the unit has holy magic or is a prophet.

It should be easy to check for the Prophet and Pretender flags, though.

Even if its weird, it makes it more interesting to not check
