Devourer of Souls with +10 fear keeps retreating!

[vfb]

I just looked at the image above ... wow, did you spend 400 gems empowering your Devourer? You must be rich!

I didn't realize you had an accompanying army. I agree that's the best way for the devourer to be used. I still manage to get mine killed before it retreats though . When your army takes 50% HP casualties, that causes a morale check every combat turn. If you've got something big and not-so-useful, like a feebleminded Monstrum, you could have it Guard Commander something at the back of your army, to keep your HP totals up.

But aren't you worried your Devourer is going to get Soul Slayed or Petrified? That's an awful lot of gems invested in that MR18 unit. And he's got enough HP that he's probably going to be targeted with whatever nasty spells are flying about.

Actually, Devourer of Souls is unique, so I think he'd come back with whatever empowerments you gave him... And he's limited to just C'tis, so others can't easily get him, either. It's an interesting idea, if it works.

30 morale seems fair. Doesn't seem like that big an issue to me though.

This thread is silly. All this hubbub about the Devourer's morale and it was really just obeying the regular routing rules for armies??

*shrug* I guess so. I just figured SCs were usually way more harder to break. I guess not.

Wrong thread. I'll move it to the right place.
