The Behemoth

[Norfleet]

I managed to totally evade this trap through a combination of age-old biases from other games: Firstly, in pretty much every game of this type I've ever played, summoning has always been a subpar to useless route, and the undead have never been worth spit.

So naturally, I saw "summoning, undead", and nothing about "blow stuff up", and quickly passed over it for immediate consideration.

Since then, I've come to realize that Dominions II has a far smaller list of stupid stuff than you find in other games: Nearly everything is useful to SOMEBODY, at some point, if not you. Even the stuff that I personally don't tend to use, in Dominions II, I no longer dismiss as a useless gew-gaw. Like those Vine Ogres: I ordinarily don't use them, due to my national and pretender preferences, but nor do I consider them to be useless.
