My Wraith Lord just wiped out 39 commanders. MINE!

[Professor_Chaos]

So I'm in the "sit in one place while LA Ermor throws 500-strong undead armies at you" phase of a game.

I summon a Wraith Lord, equip him to D8, give him 7 death gems. For the upcoming turn, I will reach Thau 9.

Perhaps he might care to cast Undead Mastery?

No...

killing off 39/48 commanders I had in the province, plus essentially all my army.

You can imagine some amusing role-playing reasons (Pardon me, are you not ethereal too?), but really this is the thing that makes D3 not so much fun for me. You can spend an hour micromanaging your formation for a battle then it all gets wiped out because your mage casts something like that.

I guess my mistake was to let him have any death gems until the turn after I reached Thau 9, when I could script him to cast Undead Mastery.
