Ok, at the moment, this "legendary veteran" who will be introduced with the Easter Event is lacking, so here are a few suggestions how he could be made interesting.
Please note that it's not a "do all this" list but some suggestions on giving him a unique and interesting flavour:
- Remove first strike from enemy units
- Negate Enemy Splash Damage
- Provides Splash Damage to his archers
- Instantly recovers
- Troops have a 25% chance of not taking damage
- Damage Shield: 10% of damage dealt to his troops is dealt back to attackers
- Tough: Doubles hitpoints of own units
- Cover: Crossbowmen gain +150 life as long as there are soldiers/elites alive
