Massing Immortals
 

So what would be the best way to mass em and what kinds of should I produce? I've heard that vampires are the ones to invest in. And please, no tactics involving Ermor.

Re: Massing Immortals
 

If you rule out Ermor, vampires are about your only choice. Make Vampire Lords and have them create vampires for you.

well, i've has lots of demi-lichs on occasion, but i wouldn't normally just mass them http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

There's also, mmm, Wraith Lords, I think it is?

And then, of course, you can always play T'ien C'hi with a heavy luck scale - 3 immortal heroes eventually for free. (Hey, it isn't an Ermor plan! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif )

At 40 death gems each, 'tho, Wraith Lords aren't something to summon in bulk.

Re: Massing Immortals
 

Vanheim's Fay Boars would also be an option.

Supplies, and a free arrow bait that comes back (a long ways from the front lines). If Helheim could recruit them, I could see their usefulness, since Helheim has a supply problem caused by the mandatory death scale, but ....

Then again, go Death 3 with the other 2 vanheim themes, and I guess them hawgs could be handy. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">You wouldn't. You'd summon a couple/few, and then have them summon other, cheaper, nasty critters.

Re: Massing Immortals
 

If you're just using an army of Fay Boars I don't think the front lines will actually be that far from your capitol. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/smirk.gif

Re: Massing Immortals
 

Well, the Fay Boars might make progress if used with Mass Flight; that day, pigs would fly. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Sorry, just had to.

(Pork: It's what's for dinner, every day and every night because our thrice-cursed quartermaster has fay boars. I guess it might be better than broth day in and day out.)

Re: Massing Immortals
 

It'd be nice if Fay Boars were stealthy, so that they could be kept OUT of the combat when the army they're supplying goes into battle. You could then attach them to a stealth Vanahearse and they'd keep out of trouble, as opposed to stampeding into the emeny and getting killed by the flaming plasma death flying around.
