Wraith Crown

or just use it on a golem or something which wont rout

[Ironhawk]

While I've never personally used a Golem it strikes me as odd that they wont rout. All commanders rout regardless of power if all troops on the battlefield die. Which is why, if you're an SC, you dont want troops on the battlefield, ever. The only exception that I know of is immortal units in positive dominion, which will never ever rout.

the golems dont rout because they are mindless constructs(i think) but they dont dissolve because they each have 1 astral to keep them alive. i know for a fact they dont rout because in my current sp test i used 3 golesm and a banelord, soon as 1 golem died (forgot to equip him) the banelord routed and it said my forces had routed and even though they could fly and had a clear escape route my golems kept fighting

[Chazar]

Immortals are also supposed to keep going in positive dominion, arent they?

[shovah]

yes they are, so wraith crowns supprisingly enough work well on wraiths (though wraiths are already etheral so its not that useful on them)

[Vicious Love]

Golems, immortal commanders and commanders wearing the Slave Collar(not sure about this one) will never rout in friendly dominion. Immortal troops will rout. I suspect golems that have become troops, rather than commanders, might also rout or dissolve.

Circa one patch ago, the Wraith Crown was unique in that its autosummons never caused a rout if they were killed. I'm not sure if this was intentional, if it was reliable, or if it is presently true, but it was definitely a plus at the time. To the furthest of my knowledge, no other summoning/enslaving items have this advantage, not even the reanimating Twin Spear or the Tartarian Chains.

also, units that have gone berserk never rout (especialy if they start the fight berserk)
