I dont know about that. Im into all into role playing and "feels right" (my biggest problem is that I pass up on some great pretenders because they are female). I also dislike the feel of playing undead swarms of sword-fodder but I can get into carrion woods. Almost the same automatic-armys/swarming feel but having units of living vines feels better somehow.

Interesting. To me Carrion Woods signify something as obscene as Undead Ermor, a perVersion of the natural order, the transformation of what was once sacred life into unlife, be it as Undead or Carrion creatures.

Your guesses are right. I don't want to play undead because they feel icky. I also think undead is way too easy against the AI.

Btw, I played a teeny, teeny bit with New Age Pangaea, and I do like them. I really wish there was a scout unit, and I stand by my thought that the dryad should be a scout and that they should make one of the mino units sacred. The only question I have is balance, but frankly after using the sacred cav of Marignon I don't think that sacred Minos are going to be that out-of-whack, as long as their price is in-line.

P.S. I also think there should be one armored unit of Minos, and one sacred, naked unit of minos. This would be inline with the idea that the sacred guys are throwbacks to the old days, while the non-sacred guys don't care about that stuff and just pile on the plate.

Let me guess the main reason why you like New Era; . . . Grove Guards. That's why I like it. First time I played New Era, I went for a Great Black Bull (very good super combatant).

It wouldn't be difficult to add that, using a small mod. Just a slight edit to each unit is really easy.

I'm really liking new age. I restarted on the ME map (had to try an ME map) and started in Mordor. The income from the wasteland sucks, but there's a lot of choke points that the AI loves to batter itself against.

I finally broke out and found Abyssia's home, which I stormed thanks to the minos. I'm going to have to spend a bit of time consolidating and building magic items - my guys are feeling rather nekkid right now. :-)

I got one great hero as a random event - the harpy queen. She comes with a supply of harpies that seems to keep growing most of the time (though not when she moves, I think). Basically, I have a flying spellcaster with a move of three, 2 nature and 2 air. Once I build some items, that should be 3 air and 4 nature, but either way she's one of the best support units I've seen in the game.
