Even in vanilla, it's actually a nice way for an air nation to rack up a few death gems for site searching. Certainly cheaper than alchemy. It's a niche use, but still a use.

Just some throughts - cannot simular death-generating effet be implemented with death death gems-generating summon, which kill population (maybe with disease or like). Something immobile, and needing to eat (so it dies, when population is lost).

The "cannibal" tag doesn't affect unit survival after all population's eaten, AFAIK. :/

No, but it could still die of normal starvation when the population had gone. Yeah, that would work I think.

Commanders don't get diseased from starvation, units can't generate gems. Sorry.

What about alive commander with plague carrier tag? If it could make itself diseased that would make it short-lived(as well as setting oldage to 1), and still kill populatin due to plague. - Tried it, population does die like fleas, but commanders are still unaffected (and death of unit by oldage is too slow).

Ahhh, good point.

Hmm, maybe add a second spell effect like plague to the death summons?
