Fun with ... GIFT OF REASON and Super Combatants

[NTJedi]

My Eater of the Dead ditched me around 350 Hps... based on the cost of gems and the fact it ditches you... other units are a better deal.
They're good if you have lots of gems, want to play around on the map and you've got the game easy. I wouldn't bring one into serious games tho.

You can't, but he rebelled while besieging an enemy capital, and I had great fun feeding him unburied bodies (with the various disaster-causing spells) and watching the AI try to recapture its capital from this obscenely high-HP, ridiculously rapidly regenerating monster. He seems to regenerate 10% of his HPs every round, and got up to over 1000 HPs near the end.
