Undead retreated?

[Argitoth]

I assassinated every undead commander in a province and broke siege. The undead retreated because they weren't mindless. This is with SoulGate Ermor.

Was it intended to have the disposessed spirits and velites not mindless?

[Yossar]

Yes. Almost all of Soul Gate's units have very good morale but are not mindless. Ghosts and the like have always traditionally been thought of as intelligent.

Ahem. A souless is a body without a mind, a spirit is a mind without a body. So what would be a mindless spirit? In case you didn't know, "spirit" and "mind" are the same word in many non-european Languages.

"Dispossessed" in "Disposessed Spirit". That indicates if it ever had a mind, it doesn't have one now.

Anyway, not to start a debate, but I HATE SG ERMOR!!!

I hate it like like nothing else. The hate which I have for it is so strong that if I had any more hate, I would go mad, and start murdering my clients.

HELP ME!!!

I have a few turns to research! I have 7 Dominion in my province. Ermor has 3 temples surrounding my province but my dominion is still holding up well so far.

-------------ERMOR (Human Player)------------
-Has about 350 Spirits and Legionaires surrounding my castle (probably without commanders, but he could easily put up 1 defence per province to provide one)

-Attacked my Last province (home province) Last turn

-I assassinated all 4 wraith commanders and made all his undead retreat to surrounding provinces

-It looks like the only commanders he could have left is a "priest" (don't know which kind), 1 wraith, and a pretender.

-The pretender is right next to my castle. It is a lich queen.

-I don't think he would attack my castle for a few turns for fear of losing his undead in the surrounding provinces. Instead, he may try to regather his undead. (Note his lack of commanders)

A "dispossessed man" is a man who possesses nothing, but is still a man, right?
