Late Era Pangaea
 

Hi,

The manual say that black dryads can reanimate manikins and madragoras. I tried to but didnt find how. They dont have to command option "reanimate" even in territories with corpse and a temple. Did someone manage to reanimate some?

Re: Late Era Pangaea
 

My first instinct would be to build a lab, but that's complete guesswork considering I only have the demo.

Re: Late Era Pangaea
 

What you actually have to do is reanimate some undead dryads (or centaurs or panii) via national spells in enchantment- then those can be ordered to reanimate.

Re: Late Era Pangaea
 

It's a bug in the description, probably related to Illwinter killing off the Carrion Woods theme. Then again, even with Carrion Woods, black dryads coudn't reanimate iirc.

Re: Late Era Pangaea
 

Maybe its the Carrion lady (ench 4). She looks like a carrion dryad...

Still Late Era seems the best for carrions as Carrion priests and black dryads get holy spells for the undead.

Re: Late Era Pangaea
 

Some nations are set to reanimate. All priests that nation recruits can reanimate. For other nations, only priests fulfilling certain conditions (being undead) can reanimate.

Re: Late Era Pangaea
 

While we're on the subject of reanimating - I tried MA C'tis (Miasma), and got an undead, reanimating priest as one of my starting commanders - a commander that I could not recruit nomally. Is this some kind of bug?

Re: Late Era Pangaea
 

No, it's not a bug, it's been that way for some time. It is actually a national commanders, just a normally summoned one.

Re: Late Era Pangaea
 

I've tried MA Ctis in SP several times but never got a reanimating commander. All I got was a commander and an assassin. Can you please elaborate on this?

Re: Late Era Pangaea
 

The direct answer, I think, is that the Black Dryad's ND paths allow her to use the Enchantment spells that summon the carrion dudes- Carrion Centaur, or Lady/Lord with a few boosters.

Are you sure you don't mean LA C'tis?

I don't think LA C'tis starts with an undead priest either. I would be interested in hearing more on this legendary tale of mythical C'tissian commanders.

LOL about the necromancery part http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Actually I'm doing a comprehensive dominions strategy book. I've started by basically writing up some stuff from my own experience and then added a lot of material from dom-I and dom-II threads and last I'm reading all the dom-III strategy threads. So this is how I came by this skeleton in the closet.

Re: Late Era Pangaea
 

I tried LA C'tis the other day. They started with a Lizard Lord and a Tomb Priest IIRC. The Tomb Priest is normally Conj-0 summons for 20 death gems or something.
