Short, but somewhat preoccupying questions

What about that one astral/death monster? That leaves as soon as it gets to powerful?

The eater of the dead dosnt leave as such, he just goes independant.

And starts moving around conquering provinces and increasing the amount of HP he can regenerate into. For some reason he starts the battles with just few hp even though he regenerates up to 1000+ or so after few turns, before anyone could really do anything.

One might consider using one of them within a game if the cost of astral gems was not so extreme. The other downside is if another eater of the dead is summoned it kills the original... that's a big weakness.

In dom2 I had a surplus of astral gems one time as ermor and conjured up the eater of the dead. You can't summon another one while one is already in play, your summon just does nothing, like if you try to summon an ice devil, elemental king or whatever and they are all in play.

But, you could have one copy of each of the three versions of the eater of the dead. I don't remember what happens if one of them "evolves" into a version that already exists. I think he cannot evolve until the other one has evolved too. I don't remember.

Anyway, by the time you can actually summon one of these guys, and go to the trouble of feeding it, it's really not that threatening on its own. It does however make an excellent meat shield for a large army, as long as it's got help.
