Hmm, odd, my Dryads never run. Your dryads are wimps.

Thanks everyone.

I was imagining that the Tune of Fear was forcing a morale check. I should have noticed that it lowered morale numbers instead! And it does not lower the morale numbers of friendlies, just enemies.

So my Dryads were just being a bunch of girly-girls. I also coincidentally switched from Satyr Sneaks (3 resources, no buckler) to Satyrs (4 resources, buckler), and took less losses in melee. It was probably my meat shields expiring that caused the Dryads to bolt.

LA Pan? Just recruit the hoplites, and some Centaurs if you can afford them. You are Ulm in essence, with this nation. And the Hoplites are very good.

Of course, the strength of this nation comes later, when they have huge Vine Critter armies.

I was not being Ulm, I was trying something different in CBM, a year-1 cast of Carrion Woods. Turmoil-Luck scales, so Centaurs were right out, and I was neutral in Production, so even Hoplites were hard to mass.

Anyway, it was a bit of a failed experiment IMO. Fun in SP, but not really up to the challenge of the big leagues. Here's my build:

Pangaea, Late Era
Lord of the Wild (Body 812, 95 hits)
Magic: Death 5 Nature 6 Blood 2
Dominion 6
Scales: Turmoil 3 Growth 3 Fortune 3 Magic 1
Dormant

He can basically cast Carrion Woods as soon as he wakes up, and I had Black Dryads summoning Mound Kings for leadership.

I don't think so, I've tried the same sorts of builds. One of my fav pan tricks is swarm, and what is it.. haunted forest.. enchanted forest.. the spell where they turn into undead upon death.

However its like enchantment 8 and it comes way too late to really help pan. I'd vote to bring that down a level. (Solar brilliance as well)

At least CBM makes Carrion Woods an option for the early game(in theory, at least).

It does seem a pity that the Carrion Dragon is a worse choice (points-wise) for Carrion Woods than the Lord of the Wild. Maybe q_m will do something about that in a future CBM release.

seems a pity haunted forest has the same effects as carrion woods,

or does it, i always assumed it affected deaths in battles (aswell as the normal spawn from carrion woods) like life after death except carrion critters are made and the enemy is also affected?

It doesn't. I believe Haunted Forest turns battlefield dead into Manikins who disappear after the fight.

Carrion Woods turns province population into Carrion units of various sorts outside combat, and said units are yours to command like any other recruits. Some of the carrion units are really rather nice indeed - the carrion elephants and the Sagittarians are prime examples. I don't know if you can get Carrion Ettins this way, or whether that's some sort of hero event only.

Enchanted Forest generates free Vine Men in forest provinces you own.
