Hmm, I wonder if Corpse Man spam is a viable tactic for RoR Caelum...earth crafters make Lightning Rods with reduced cost and the Harabs cast the spell...

Corpse Men have magic resistance of only 4, so probably not. It might be possible to use them in addition to something else, but I'm not sure yet. It's not easy to use them to great effect, it seems.

Exactly. They can be excellent cannon fodders in masses. I will definitely try out this strategy to combine them with some hardcore troops.

We'll have to try this out.

On-topic:

I have to say that the new damage number graphics in the tactical battle views are very, very useful. It was hard to see whether or not your shortbows were doing anything before, and now I know if the Charge Body actually does anything (it does). Harrassment with arrows while "tanking" is definitely a good tactic, even against armored enemies; now I know why my enemies are driven before me.

Morkilus, is there an option to turn it off? A hotkey to instantly toggle it like we can do with the background, I mean. It would be nice to view battles without it sometimes.

I'm not Morkilus, but not to my knowledge.

I just noticed something strange as well: when changing to second form, the damage is shown as e.g. -46 [hp left - damage dealth - the max hp of the second form]. Hrmph. Off to the bug thread with it.
