"Twists and surprises"
Anyone remember the old E3 videos and the one with the battle between inferno and haven? At the end when the inferno hero lost all hes troops an spectral dragon appeared. May this be a scripted event in the campaign or not? I cant seem to find any skills, abilities that can summon a undead dragon if you have lost all of your troops. So anyone have a idea or clue what happened with this?

Scripted sounds right. FC was probably just showing off. Though there is that ability Guardian Angel that could do something like that, but right now I have no ideea how it works.

Why?It would be nice to have it as a special.Like the guardian angel.LordHoborgXVII wrote:I'd still say it was a scripted event. I can't imagine why they would have intended random things like that as regular non-scripted in-game occurences, they would just hurt the gameplay. I'm quite certain it was scripted by the map-maker.

It would not be too nice to have it as a special, because it would randomize the game too much. The game is supposed to be centered around strategy and planning. Troop management and logistics should take precedence, not random bonuses such as bone dragons suddenly popping out of nowhere like Tom Bombadil. If it were a bonus granted by a skill or an artifact, then I might have to agree that it wouldn't be that bad. If it was 'one of those things that will happen' on a random basis, that would add too much of an uncertainty factor and planning would take less of a center stage. A bone dragon suddenly appearing could turn the tide of a curcial battle, and I wouldn't want it to be a random occurence. Now if there was a 'guardian reeking undead dragon' potion, for instance, then I would agree to that, because it would require purposeful planning and implementation to use.
Happy Millenium!

Killing an enemy stack is too drastic, unless it was a strictly controlled, very expensive ability. Because, especially in the end game, killing a stack could turn the tide of a crucial battle.

Shadow Dragon
Gaidal Cain is right; Ubi/Nival had planned for occasional end-of-the-fight surprises like a Shadow Dragon appearing to fight the victorious army, but that feature was removed.
