Re: Black heart
The pan generates maenads even if you dont tell it to. IF you have ANY followers, even stealthy ones, the maenads will go into the pans assigned units. They are not stealth so you will immeadiately have a full fight including the pan and all of its units.
IF you have no units assigned to the pan then the maenads go to the assignment queue. If you dont own that province, they end up fighting. By themselves. Witohut un-hiding the pan (probably no such word but you get what I mean)
The werewolf cant quite do the same thing because if I remember correctly, you cannot tell it to generate wolves in a province you dont own.
Although.... Im required by my own tendencies to debate my own answer and at least consider this....
Hmmmm...
the werewolf would be fairly cheap. It would replenish its own army when its far afield if its given a turn or two in a province its taken. It would have supporters if its found sneaking around. Those are all things that make me use them now. Giving it the black heart... Im not sure if you could make a cheap assassin out of it. I think it would take some awfully expensive equipment to get it so it can kill commanders.
Maybe if you tried to turn it into a mage-killer. Lots of MR (magic resistance) equipment. It would be random whether you got a mage or not but it might become a tactic worth keeping in the toolbox if you find yourself facing armies where the mages are whats holding it together. Being cheap might make it worth trying.
