Singleplayer:
- Their campaign sounds really fun to play with the corruption mechanic and how they can befriend any race.
- Also they can summon units on the map for free.
- Their spells look really strong. Then there's that whole, summon zombies in the battle on the fly thing.
- They have some pretty interesting heroes:
- Banshee – Melee
- Necromancer – Caster (Lore of Vampires)
- Vampire – Melee/Caster (Lore of Death)
- Wight King – Melee
- Their unit roster is full of oddities and weird things.
Multiplayer:
- Hmm... this is a pretty out there faction. On one hand... zero ranged units. Literally none. That sucks major ass. On the other hand, they have some really bizzaro units like those cavalry that are almost immune to physical attacks.
- Apparently they have the best cavalry and flying units in the game?
- I don't really see the point of a meatshield if it's slower than every other unit in your army. They appear to have a lot of really fast moving elite units, but their core soldiers of zombies and skeletons are slow as shit. In singleplayer it's fine, as the AI can probably be manipulated, but in MP, the enemy can just run around them...
- I imagine fighting a siege (either offense or defense) with these guys to be one of the stupidest ideas.
- However, since we don't know what a majority of their army does... might be a good idea to wait and see. It's such an oddball army, you can't really tell how it works.
