Are Poison Aura Summons Worth It?

[Sir_Dr_D]

Posion aura troops may act as a powerfull deterent. They may die easy, but any troops attacking them will die easy as well. If you have such troops in your army, it would make me much more hesitant to attack you.

They can also work well as blockers for archers and/or mages.

With the poison troops in the center and the archers on the rear flanks, they avoid the poison clouds. If the fight lasts long enough for the archers to run out of arrows and charge into melee, you're in trouble, but if you're relying on archers and they run out of arrows you're in trouble anyways.

I find Poisons aura usefull with army of Vine Ogre / Men / undead / mechanical man only.

and a big army of summons like that is expensive and vunerable. It's not worth the cost anyway.
