And/Or perhaps the Unfettered could spawn smaller Eaters 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.

Sounds cool, albeit complicated.

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.

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...

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...
