lamashtas

in that one game i played against the AI i tried out to summon a mass of lamashtas to kill a huge army the comp had raised. My shedu summoned about 8 of them during battle, but all they did was beating up my infantry

Q: is there any way to get the lamashtas moving to the enemy army instead of killing my own soldiers ?

try sending in just your commander/put your troops all behind your shedu. with shedus strength he should survive if they attack him

didn't work. 4 of 10 attacked the enemy. the rest attacked the shedu and later the other 4 joined them after the enemy was dead.

I've only found lammashtas to be useful as a guerilla type of attack. Either summon them with guys whose death doesn't bother you (perhaps because they're immortal), or summon them and then get out.

yay, ive found the perfect use for demi-liches

. using them with demi-liches and an undead ermor should work (because of large death income)

Lamashtas are a last-resort type tactic. Useful if you need to whittle down an approaching army. Use em with twice-born mages. Demi-liches ought to have better things to do
