Wraith Crown

Hey, what good is the Wraith Crown? I was looking at it and was excited by the prospect of ethereal from a helmet, but since it auto-casts that undead thing I dont see how you could use it on an SC. It would rout as soon as all the skeletons were dead. Do you just make sure that the SC always has an army with it? That seems kind of lame and perhaps not worth the price? Does anyone even make these? I feel like I'm missing something obvious.

It would be nice for an assasin to have for extra help when assasinating.
I think lifelong protection item stops the retreating when all troops are destroyed thing.

or just use it on a golem or something which wont rout

While I've never personally used a Golem it strikes me as odd that they wont rout. All commanders rout regardless of power if all troops on the battlefield die. Which is why, if you're an SC, you dont want troops on the battlefield, ever. The only exception that I know of is immortal units in positive dominion, which will never ever rout.

the golems dont rout because they are mindless constructs(i think) but they dont dissolve because they each have 1 astral to keep them alive. i know for a fact they dont rout because in my current sp test i used 3 golesm and a banelord, soon as 1 golem died (forgot to equip him) the banelord routed and it said my forces had routed and even though they could fly and had a clear escape route my golems kept fighting

Immortals are also supposed to keep going in positive dominion, arent they?
