Opinions differ of course, but to me it is obvious Carrion Woods in Early Age is excellent at the start of the game, the sooner the better. When weapons of mass destruction appear and demons with fiery auras appear (fire is the doom of manikin), the days of manikin are over. Thus using Carrion Woods for EA Pangaea is in my opinion an either or choice: Either get it up on turn 10, or don't bother at all. EA Pangaea does not *need* Carrion Woods, but if you go for the option, go for it with full concentration.

LA Pangaea, and in some extent MA Pangaea, could well delay casting CW. The armies are smaller in LA (and even MA), so manikin can be used in smaller numbers to be effective (mixed with the higher prot troops available in MA and LA).
