Units behind the scenes

[Turuk]

One of the most important points to take away from any unit when looking at it's attacks and stats is how well that unit may work with others in your recruit list. Recruit list varies from campaign to campaign and scenario to scenario, so one of the first things I always try to do is look at the list and try to develop strategies based on what units would work well supporting each other.

If you're thinking about campaigns, it's also important to consider the enemies you'll be facing. You'll recruit very differently against undead compared to trolls or drakes, for example. Assuming your list allows you that flexibility.

Walking Corpse

Qualities
Cheap - 8-gold
Has Plague
Can hold up Enemies

Disadvantages
Frail
Bad attack

Reasoning
It is made to be a cheap unit to duplicate itself to make more. It isn't meant to be a Warrior, but to get the killing blows in. So, along with being cheap, it is more useful than not.

I like mermen in MP... They have won me many an Isar's Cross before. They really aren't too expensive and with the amount of water/swamp in IC they can usually overwhelm the opposition.
