Lammashta revolt?
Helheim attacked my PD (fort) this turn with 2 dwarves. They summoned a couple of Lammashtas. I killed one dwarf with a lucky PD sling bullet. The Lammashtas killed/routed my PD, and then here's the weirdness: they fly back to the one alive dwarf, and chop him up.
I now have these events:
There was a battle in Otta. (Enemy commanders 2, killed 2)
We are under siege in Otta (but the enemy cannot harm our walls).
I think Helheim may have accidentally moved some stealth units into the province with the attackers. I can buy PD and recruit, so it's probably just a minor message bug, I'm not really under siege.
But it's totally weird that those Lammashtas turned on their summoners, I think.

Re: Lammashta revolt?
Lammashta do that.
They're like horrors. They kill everyone. Makes them a bit tricky to use.

Not at all. They fall into the same category as Shark Attack and a few other combat spells, they may attack anyone on the battlefield. Check their spell description (Conj 4). |

Re: Lammashta revolt?
Thanks thejeff and Ich! I looked it up in the manual and didn't see anything there, and nothing was mentioned in the Lammashta description.
I should have checked through F5.

Re: Lammashta revolt?
Any summon-type spell that goes away after the battle will trigger the siege message, but won't actually be sieging you since they go away, so yes, just a minor message bug in this case. (ghost riders, the phantasmal army remote spell, send horror as well I think.)

Re: Lammashta revolt?
One tactic I've tried with EA C'tis was having Sauromancers (about 5) all cast summon Lammashta then set with orders to flee - it worked to some degree, the lammashta won the battle against a medium sized army but took out 3 of the sauromancers 'fore they could flee...and they were right on the map edge. Overall I need to trial it some more to see if it is feasible or not.

Re: Lammashta revolt?
Would the Lammashtas continue to fight even if all your army fled? I could see it being useful as an army assassination tool then. Is this the plan with horrors too?
Or will your army start to fight back against the Lammashtas, once there is no more enemy on the battlefield left to kill?
