: During the aforementioned level you walk past a row of
: Stygian knights on display in order to get to the
: teleporter, which will attack you once you are in
: their midst.
: However, if you keep your units strictly on the path
: while walking past them and do it in single file, they
: won't attack you (while creepily shifting their
: position to watch your every move), an interesting
: piece of advice for those who want to preserve their
: units.
I've noticed this as well and gladly exploited it to keep my units alive.
: Any idea why this is? Also, why are the Knights in the
: Mausoleum in the first place?
I don't know how much has been discussed about the nature of the Stygian Knights on these boards, but what I recollect from the game is that they are just suits of armor with souls that animate them bound to them. I always believed they were put there as sort of a permanent guard. What better to guard the crown than an army of nigh invincible (assuming no dwarves are around) knights who never tire, never grow hungry, etc?
