Eater of the Dead

[Taqwus]

For the heck of it, I once empowered an Eater of the Dead until it could cast mistform, summon earthpower, and invulnerability, and then cloud trapezed it onto a hapless AI capital.
Sadly, it threw away the script once it became the Unfettered.

Usually after reaching a certain size they leave your command and go independent.
Will your suggestion stop him from going beserk and ditching your army?

A GoR'd Eater of the Dead will still become a neutral Unfettered when it grows too big.

You can enslave/hellbind/charm an Unfettered; at that point, should you GoR it again (if you enslaved it) perhaps it'll stay yours?

When I wished for an unfettered it turned on me the second it got a corpse to eat.

An interesting twist is if you make the Eater of the Dead your pretender, it will eventually turns against you too. That's the only way I've found so far to create a true independent pretender (I mean, with the 'pretender' flag). But I've not pushed the experiment far enough to see if this kind of pretender exsudes its own dominion, or is affected by yours, etc.

'Revolutions' is an MP game idea I'm toying with, where every nation would be given an EotD pretender you'd use for early expansion and abandon in a place where it'd hinder your enemies more than yourself.

Oh, BTW, don't try to control a pretender EotD turned independent (Charm, Control the Dead, etc.), it doesn't work.
