Here's the update, finally got around to finishing it because this game get very buggy when it reaches 19-20+hours on a map very often. Anyways, After tarth got rolled over, I selected altar as my next target.... One side effect of mowing the AI down means they will get tougher because their skyhigh unrest will go down as they lose cities and become enabled to start producing better units xD After cutting down few bad towns from altar

Soldiers also influence your score. There was a point where I had only 10 cities but when i started to crank the machine up and field 20+ armies then my score more than doubled from 300+ to 600+ pretty fast. Then It just snowballed from there as I took tarth cities.

During today I suddenly became very determined to bring this army's hp value over nine thousand hp because DBZ. Most of the experience came from AI's deadly/epic armies. Found several battles where it basically gave a whole bar of exp. [IMG]http://i43.tinypic.com/2vv6nnr.jpg[/IMG] Here's the portrait of Soliag xD He's no pushover at all, 442 hp yikes.

[quote who="Crastiloowa" reply="2" id="3431650"] Is your umberdroth unit "greyed" in the unit circle in your stack? If so, then it would have happened with any city (not specific to The Dead's capital.) On the plus side, the captured city now has an Umberdroth as a defender unit... [/quote] Yes my umberdroth is greyed out and it was greyed out when I tamed it for the first time.

[quote who="aerowreck" reply="1" id="3431849"] As the Titam seems to be "Men" -race, I'd like to use Karavox's ability on it [/quote] As matter of fact, in one of my previous threads, that's what one of players did. They can be recruited through Kraxis and raise unholy hell on enemies for you. Kraxis only have one city left, I'm tempted to force him to surrender to me in case there's still more titans wandering in the current map. &nbsp

Why do the AI love to bring lots of armies and then proceed to put them into a single tile? It makes them too easy to be countered with stratgetic map spells. x.x Still took me well over 2 hours to clear them out and I used so much guardian winds today. xD They still managed to field better archers than the Tarth did.

[quote who="Rotlung" reply="22" id="3431635"] On a side note, I notice the Undead units tend to play very poorly in auto-resolve (which is where most of the AI-only battles take place I believe), possibly in combat as well but I'm not too sure. Basically, Morrigan once attacked some of my Scouts, and I auto-resolved the combat (which I always do when my auto-explore Scouts get attacked by anything), only to win this time. Looking at the combat log, Morrigan basically kept spamming T

Just because consulate is expensive to build doesn't mean it isn't a viable strategy. I've had games where I didn't have a single death shard so I relied on consulates and got by just fine. Heck you could make your first city a town so you can have very high growth by the time where slums come online and it would allow alot of pioneers to be sent out. I like the undead the way they are, they're a hoot to play. Also, I suspect 2

Back, my attempts to create consulate guide has been unsuccessful because I keep on rolling maps rich in LIfe/Death Shards. Ah. Gods of RNG. You never fail to amuse me. Anyways At least I got one map where it isn't heavy in Death shards. The war, I was forced into it anyways; normally I play passive. But Yithril is hyperaggressive so I had to go and take him out. Yithril dow'd me. Not me dowing him.. Blessings of the dead upon me.. as I found the Fortr

I discovered a pretty bad bug today while playing one of my custom factions. When I charged and took over the Dead's capital city Calebthornsomething, my Umberdroth kept on vanishing... I rage reloaded because I was sure it survived. Then attacked and took it over, my umberdroth vanished again. Reloaded, and it vanished everytime I attempt to take over Calebthorn. Then on fifth try.... I to

[quote who="Apheirox" reply="8" id="3430870"] I shall eagerly await your expert guide. I agree the dead are a blast to play, which is why I want to make them more viable.[/quote] I'm going ot postpone the guide for today because RNG keeps on giving me death/life shard starts with Morrigan X.X and I wanted to make one guide without them around! Oh well. Gonna attempt it tomorrow and hope wahtever rng I've been getting resets. </

Okay Apheirox, The Dead guide is obviously necessary. I will attempt to create one tomorrow if my sore throat is gone by tomorrow morning. And it will have screenshots accompanying the guide. What's more, I will even use Morrigan's faction for it. Simply because the dead is such a blast for me to play.

[quote who="GFireflyE" reply="2" id="3430621"] Yes, but the AI need to be able to play 'the dead' as well. [/quote] I believe the AI hasn't been programmed to use outposts upgrades and thus, its very likely that AI hasn't been programmed to play the dead yet.

But I never have problems even when I have isolated start or no access to death shards. For starters, Tower of Domination ensures that your capital have +1 growth at minimum. Then, construct those consulates for outposts and set them up next to your cities. I'll show a picture tomorrow. Having no death shards and rushing research to consulates just merely means you'll have slower start. I'v

This occured when I constructed the Ereogg's tower in my capital.. then I noticed something going funny on me. And realized that just building the ereogg's tower somehow made the city thingie decide to skip few squares and accidently creating a small mouseoverable forest in my city. XD Seriously if I mouse over it it will be said as a forest instead of city. I liked it, I declared it the national park of my Kingdom. It's circle

Uh one problem, if a hero is killed in battle but the army wins. Hero will stay in army with 1 hp left. But if Hero is killed in battle and the army suffers a defeat, the whole army will get killed and routed, no breaking down to smaller stacks going on. And then Hero will be teleported to nearest city you have.

CIties isn't unassailable. Mass heal spam or Mass Cursing tend to do the trick. Failing that, Dump falling stars and march in unresisted. Or even poop a curgen's volcano on a city. And if even that volcano move fail, bombard the city with storm dragons the most I ever had in one army was five. No enemy is going to dodge five fear in a row unless they're immune to it. And five storm dragons

I wanna make sure, are you aware of blacksmithing tech? It basically unlocks everything you will need to survive until late game. Boar spears, iron golems, etc. If yithril sends their heavily armored oppressors something, has 80ish def everytime it standby, you can safely ignore it until you're about to engage it. And I think Yithril tend to rush through the military tree until they have their third weapon like pikes and plate armor. I've won plent
