Hhhhmmm, can't recall any special Indy's that have a Demon Lord along for the ride. (I think that info is on the Wiki, but that's down so...). I've seen artefacts on special Indy's on very rare occasions, but never seen (summonable) uniques acting as Indy's. Are you sure it's one of the four Demon Lords? Does it actually name him, as in "the army is commanded by [name] he radiates power"? (or words to that effect). Attack/Probe the province when you can and that note of his unit id with Shift-I.

It's Pazuzu, the lord of the plague wind, he's fairly distinctive.

That's some serious awesomeness. Just sent you a PM to kindly request your turn file, as I really have to see that (not to believe it, just to see it

)

Okay I sent you a turn file to have a look at. I wonder if maybe some kind of unit ID conflict with the mod might have put him there? There's definitely no special units defined in the map file. Edit: I can't see anything obvious in the mod file, wierd. Also the demon lords all got buffs in this game, so that province might stay independent for a while.

Photographic evidence!

Edit: Have other players seen this? I wonder if could be some wierd issue with just my turns or something.

You guys secretly rolled back, didn't you!

I've seen indy provinces with pretender-class units in them (Inanna and Dumuzi). Bit of a surprise if you weren't expecting it. But that's a fairly specific legend, I've not seen a demon lord hanging around before.

There are a whole heap of special potypes. Some of them are tied to unique sites or artifacts (Bolivar, Solaris, Kekon, etc.)

I've seen them more often in early and middle era games. That might be a function of the poptype, or just chance.

I need an 8 hour extension. Away from home computer.

Cool.

For those nations close to the weird demonic activity: Any idea whether Pazuzu was in the province from the start, or if he came along with an independent attack?

I took a quick look in the mod we're using to see if unit ID '446' (Thanks Edi's DB) showed up anywhere, but the only things I found were the changes to the unit, and no reference to that unit ID elsewhere, so I doubt (But definitely won't rule out) it's something to do with the mod.

8 hours added.

He's been there since at least turn 5, and had a bunch of longdead and death mages with him. Pretty sure it was like that from the start of the game. Stupid jerk killed like 30 of my skinshifters.

Edi's database lists "The Doom Cloud" as an air site which increases misf. and gives 2A2D. vfb put together a list of special poptypes which Identifies Pazuzu as it's guardian. This list should have made it into the strategy index somewhere, but I didn't see it and had to use my memory as a guide. Now my head hurts.
