don't think it's appropriate for 1.0. Assuming that

Agreed.
One of the things which would potentially stand in the way of pulling
TDH out of mainline is that a number of other campaigns depend on the
"Ancient Lich" unit, which is also used as a fourth level for Gwiti.
It's used, I believe, in both TEI and TRoW.
Besides the point, Gwiti has really cried out for a decent level four
of his own, given the good graphics for his sublevels.
It also seemed strange that he would suddenly become "Ancient" after
passing through his campaign.
Thus, after talking with dave, I've made a proper level-4 for him.
The Ancient Lich is still there, but has been severed from Gwiti's
upgrade tree - in it's place is the new "Dread Lich," which is fully
animated.
Note that I did NOT reattach the ancient lich to any other tree.
Also note that the stats for the Dread Lich and Ancient Lich are
identical.
Anyhow, this should leave Gwiti's unit in such a state that he can be,
if needed, pulled out of mainline without breaking any other campaigns.
