Autosummoning:

10*(dom+growth+1) % chance (actually a d10 is used) of manikin reanimation if there are unburied corpses.
1+growth+magic% chance of mandragora - else manikin.

Also:

10*(dom+growth+1) % chance of carrion beast / pangaean manikin reanimation if the province is a forest.
1+growth+magic% chance of powerful stuff.

There might be some stuff prohibiting human manikin in forests (makng them beasts instead)

Reanimation:
Number: Priestlvl/2+(1D2-1)
Quality 10%

So, if you have ten provinces with dom5 (growth2+magic2) of which 5 are forests you would get about 9 manikin and 4 beasts each turn. Of these one or two would be powerful.

Ooops, just realized that the Last exemple seems illogical.
Kristoffer wrote that autosummon in forests gives "1+growth+magic% chance of powerful stuff" then later "Of these (4 beasts) one or two would be powerful". If 1+2+2=5%, I'll be damn lucky if I get two powerful beasts out of a total of 4... that means 50%!
Should I understand that autosummon in forests gives 10 x (1+growth+magic) % chance of powerful stuff ?

Thanks for the info Sunray_Be. Now if we could all put our collective wits together and come up with a good overall strategy for Carrion Woods. I still feel it's the most difficult faction to master. It's annoying to get your hiney handed to you by an AI set to easy.

Mmmm, let me see, I think I've that already
Only a draft, but fairly comprehensive I think.

One or two out of 9+4. A powerful manikin is a mandragora. 1+2+2 = 5%. 5% out of 13 is one or, if you are lucky, two. Zero is not uncommon either. Slight miscalc on my part.

Has anyone played CW before and after 2.11. I would like to get some feedback. The changes are somewhat limited. Are they noticeable at all?
