Ancestor

This unit is from the Era of Chaos. Its coding and art were done by the various people who created the Era of Chaos.

Revered warriors of old roam through the elven forests, visible only due to their shining silver swords. They are only partially present in the mortal realm, and wounds close as if they had never existed. Their voice can whisper in the wind words that chill the hearts of their enemies, making them, ocassionally, abandon the fight prematurely, or even die of sheer fear.

Special Notes: Spirits have very unusual resistances to damage, and move quite slowly over open water. During battle, this unit can drain life from victims to renew its own health. This unit’s arcane attack deals tremendous damage to magical creatures, and even some to mundane creatures. The terror skill of this unit scares enemy units next to it so they deal less damage in combat, though this only applies to units of lower or equal level. This unit will regenerate 5 HP per turn in forest or mushroom grove terrains.
