Default Re: Carrion Woods Reanimations

If Carrion Woods is underpowered(Not sure on this point, myself), I'd rather not see it become Ermor MK II for the sake of balance.
I suppose it'd be more thematically appropriate to give it some sort of forest-only defensive dominion effect, in the vein of miasma/dark skies/lure of the deep. Or, if we want to make the woods really inhospitable, we could make one of the random reanimants an assassin, bound to the forest and unable to leave its home province/spend more than one turn away from a forest province/whatever. Officers vanishing left and right the moment night falls, that'll make any invader think twice.
If we want CW Pangaea to have enhanced offensive capabilities while retaining its style, we could always make said assassin a flying unit with 3 overland movement, so no forest is safe for those who'd despoil it.
Beyond that, scrying in forest provinces, friendly or otherwise, might be nice.
On top of all that some counterpriest mojo might be nice. It seems less appropriate than the alternative, since Pangaea has more problems with the industry of the outside world than with its faith, but it's definitely not completely out of character. An Anathema stylle battlefield spell, a Wild Hunt/Earth Attack style national spell which only affects priests of hostile faiths(Or priests without Nature magic) in forest provinces, and so on.

...

Assuming they're underpowered.

Whoops. Bit off topic, wasn't that? My bad, thought I'd read the Last page of this thread, turned out I was actually on the second page.
To which that actually relates.
Sorta.

Just a bump, this question never got answered. Also, has the Carrion Growth spell been fixed?

If rounded up centairs and ladies reanimate the same. So 5 centars would reanimate 5-10 per round, while 2 lords (the same cost in gems) would reanimate only 4-6 per round, making the centairs the best. so which is it?

There was a post by Kristoffer O. (but I'm not able to find it, that tell how the rounding are made by default in dom2). Gateway103 told me that are always rounded in the most friendly way for players.

bye
