Default Charm

One simple question. Does the Charm spell (Thau 7) works on any unit in the game? Can i charm, mindless, undead, horrors, etc?
Thanks

No mindless. Everything else's fine AFAIK.

Pretenders as well, I believe.

Pretenders are immune, but wished for units that are available in pretender selection are fair game.

Default ...and transient monsters are still transient.

Ex. -- even if you charm Lammashastas or, say, one of the three forms of Umor expressing his dislike of somebody casting a global during Astral Corruption, they'll still vanish after the battle.

Hmmm. Reminds me of a Master of Magic exploit, where you'd create an Air Elemental and then do a Word of Recall on it to get it permanently (although it did cost a lot of upkeep). I wonder what happens if you cast the army-wide version of Returning after charming Umor. Do you get to keep him? Probably not, but you never know.

Afraid of my newly sprung crop of undead Giants? Don't worry, there'll still be plenty of Jarls around for you to charm.

Umor has three forms? I thought that he only had two, and that if his first was killed, he would become "true ethereal", which is something that no other unit in the game can do.

I just hope those dumb pans are smart enough to focus the spell on your Jars and not on the "uncharmable" troops...
