Re: Eater of the Dead
And/Or perhaps the Unfettered could spawn smaller Eaters of the Dead...

Re: Eater of the Dead
How about he builds a type of "Void gate" in the province he kills. Then summons more of him and bizzare evils to guard him.Then when he has powered up and has a small army of summons he goes eating provinces.
Meanwhile One of him that he has summoned stays in the province summoning more evils till a second army is formed around him and he goes eating leaving a third him to repeat the process.
Any unit entering the "Gate" province has a bad chance of getting a affliction each turn until the gate is destroyed. Only a Mage with a special group of powerups or skills can destroy the gate with a high chance of death or being feebled.
If the gate is left alone it has a chance of spawning a new Eater and other evils every turn. Along with bad random events in surrounding provinces.
Damned if you attack and damned if you don't.

Re: Eater of the Dead
Sounds cool, albeit complicated.

Re: Eater of the Dead
Yea, might be a real pain to program but sounds very nice (or should that be nasty?). Just make sure nothing he spawns can get quite as strong as him.

Re: Eater of the Dead
Spawning additional Eaters of the Dead should be doable already, I think, given that 'monsters spawn other monsters' (ex. Vampire Lords, Thralls) is possible.
A large leprosy cloud and strong Fear would be appropriate, given that it's probably not too hygienic to be around it.
If we were feeling silly and very Diablo-ish, we might suggest a high-damage corpse-vomit attack, but...

Re: Eater of the Dead
I wonder if the Unfettered can move around on it's own...if it could, it could move around and spawn more of it's progeny.
Would would become more than just bit of a MAD weapon...
