Default Re: Carrion Woods ideas please

The carrion critters don't need any increase in attack: most have multiple attacks, and every attack means -1 def for the target ...

You need:

Vinemen - those can't be banished, are cheap, upkeep-free and can be mixed with your carrion critters speed-wise without problem

(Mass) Protection - to keep arches from killing your unshielded troops too easily

Mound Kings (ench-2, death-2, 3 gems) - to command your armies and gather all the freespawns
