Cross-breeding

[Zeldor]

Try Improved Cross Breeding. Never used the weaker version. You get some cool stuff, then some situational ones [amphibian or with good attacks, like touch of leprosy, or life drain, etc] and then you get lots of crap [use it to patrol blood hunting? or for sieges].

The worst thing is that people use them by themselves. What good is it to have something that causes sleep or paralysis and not provide any troops to hit the enemy when they are asleep. I look thru all the results and try to assign them individually where I think they will work best.

To the contrary. I much prefer regular crossbreeding. The ability to get large numbers of spawn early in the game can be situationally useful. by the time you get to blood5, (iirc) its much less likely to be useful.
