Default Re: Help needed !

You've got Death. Astral too, IIRC.

Death: permits disease, but unless your sieging commanders are also undead you may not want to bring in bane venom charms.

Astral: Pangaea is not a strong astral nation, so you may be able to use Mind Hunt. Use a spell focus to help beat Pan's MR. Not recommended if Pan has at least a single astral mage there.

If there are corpses, Carrion Reanimation may reanimate a bunch. They're poor at combat, but the sheer numbers might be helpful in battering the walls.

Cease and flee in shame, you're never going to breach my walls.

I thought mindless undead were fine at sieging, but bad at resisting a siege.
Yeah, mindless units are fine on the outside, tearing walls down. They just suck on the inside, too stupid for rebuilding the walls. (or maybe it's just that the castles of LA ermor would be impossible to take otherwise).

Call of the Winds is good for sieging. I make heavy use of them with Vanheim early on. Few, really tough troops plus plentiful air magic. Big problem with the birds is any attempt to break the siege usually makes them get slaughtered and scatter. Maybe put them on Guard Commander?
Guard commander on a mage in the back should work great.

Hence maenads, even if it is a logical disconnect in a siege situation.
It sounds quite logical for me ! Never underestimate women !
They ever get their way !

I can read here in my manual, p.458

"If a manead want to meet a Pan (for whatever reason) in a besieged fortress, be sure she'll dig a tunnel with her own teeth and nails to achieve that "

Yeah, it's a brand new edition of the manual. I'm sure you're all jealous
