Re: Shambler Thralls?
Well, I wouldn't use them much against the CPU.
Against computer players you just want to avoid taking losses.
Otherwise, the shambler thrall is more fragile (per $) than Elephants, but does pretty much the same thing.
Against a human opponent it's a whole different situation - elephants are rather cowardly, and killing another player's army without losses is generally not an option (barring an extreme edge in luck, position, skill, etc.) So against another player, shambler thralls are excellent.
