Tell that to mictlan and marverni, who were losing their expensive druids and capitol-only priests of whatever (sometimes with magic boosters for forging or sanguine rods for hunting) each turn to my Wild Hunt. Did it suck? For them, probably. Mictlan lost without even giving me a single fight - with Wild hunt, constant Earth attacks and ghost raiders I denied him blood hunting.
As for carrion woods, it DOUBLES Pangaea's already endless hordes of chaff, making them even more capable of dealing with thugs and armored guys.
