Weird. Vine Men/Ogre spawning is an exceptionally nice complement to the undead, as they don't eat either, can be generated in large numbers at small cost, and have different vulnerabilities than your default troops. (And one shared: Fire)

One of the cheapest damage absorbing walls available in combat. Even the Vine Men do well at this - Vine Ogre's just happen to be three times better at the same price, assuming you have the magic skills.

Of course, with Ermor, you really won't begin summoning them in great numbers until such time as you can pull in the great nature magic summoners to do the job for you, as Dusk Elders and Spectators have better things to do, but it can still prove an unsuspected (by the opposition) bonus.
