Massing Immortals

[Azhur]

So what would be the best way to mass em and what kinds of should I produce? I've heard that vampires are the ones to invest in. And please, no tactics involving Ermor.

[Sheap]

If you rule out Ermor, vampires are about your only choice. Make Vampire Lords and have them create vampires for you.

well, i've has lots of demi-lichs on occasion, but i wouldn't normally just mass them http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

There's also, mmm, Wraith Lords, I think it is?

And then, of course, you can always play T'ien C'hi with a heavy luck scale - 3 immortal heroes eventually for free. (Hey, it isn't an Ermor plan! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif )

At 40 death gems each, 'tho, Wraith Lords aren't something to summon in bulk.

Vanheim's Fay Boars would also be an option.

Supplies, and a free arrow bait that comes back (a long ways from the front lines). If Helheim could recruit them, I could see their usefulness, since Helheim has a supply problem caused by the mandatory death scale, but ....

Then again, go Death 3 with the other 2 vanheim themes, and I guess them hawgs could be handy. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

If you're just using an army of Fay Boars I don't think the front lines will actually be that far from your capitol. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/smirk.gif

Well, the Fay Boars might make progress if used with Mass Flight; that day, pigs would fly. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif

Sorry, just had to.

(Pork: It's what's for dinner, every day and every night because our thrice-cursed quartermaster has fay boars. I guess it might be better than broth day in and day out.)

[Norfleet]

It'd be nice if Fay Boars were stealthy, so that they could be kept OUT of the combat when the army they're supplying goes into battle. You could then attach them to a stealth Vanahearse and they'd keep out of trouble, as opposed to stampeding into the emeny and getting killed by the flaming plasma death flying around.
