Observer

This unit is from Imperial Era. Its coding and art were done by Turin and Various others.

It has happened more than once that, on a raging battlefield, one of the commanders would spot a dwarf merchant a small distance away from two sides, calmly watching them fight, apparently unafraid for his life or his goods. Occasionally the commander has sent his own troops to investigate. When they reached the dwarf, if he was still there, which he often was not, they would find him well-armed and looking surprisingly martial, but always 'just passing through'. Never has anything conclusive been discovered about these observers - though it is reported that once, when investigating such a matter, a scout claims to have come across the dwarf sinking into the very earth beneath him, leaving behind only a faint runic symbol inscribed around where he supposedly vanished. This story has never been confirmed, and the Cavernei, as is well known, refuse to answer the questions of the merely curious.

Special Notes: This unit can use one move to teleport between any two empty villages controlled by its side. This unit has magical attacks, which always have a high chance of hitting an opponent. This unit’s arcane attack deals tremendous damage to magical creatures, and even some to mundane creatures.
