Sleep Vines-clarification needed

Yes, they are surprisingly nasty. Three or four carrion beasts are fairly worthless, but mass them in a troop of thirty or forty, cast protection on them, and they can take out just about anything in their path. You will lose a bunch of them, but they are cheap if you are playing Pan.

I was surprised that they are so useful against undead. Apparently the vines affect undead just like anything else, and undead chaff goes down like, well, like chaff.

Lots of sleepvines are great, but never try sending a Carrion Dragon against a bunch of undead alone. The results are messy for the dragon.

Thanks for the feedback. From my gameplay experience, i knew that units tend to die fast to sleeping vines, but i did not see the tidbit about damage being taken after fatigue 200.
That would have been useful to put in the manual after the sentence i quoted above.

Though the manual is obviously very well done, and cannot contain everything, or it would be another 300 pages long.

It is in the manual, explained in detail in the "Fatigue" section. Page 75/76.
