Ossified Commanders, which were DEFINITELY cav units yesterday, are now apparently infantry units. Same specs, I think.
What's up?

I belive noone has seen any of these monstrosities yet... Attacks for tonight are beginning around... now... tho, so we'll see. Looks like the offensive stats on these are no worse than the skellies... but who know's what these 'special abilities' mean? Also I noticed 2 nights ago there were some attacks from 'Zombies (NPCs)'s forces from The Underworld' alongsie 'Skeleton Warriors' (as labelled in battle report headings)... but it seems the Zombies (NPCs)'s forces were no different to Skeleton Warriors (other than larger numbers perhaps?). And then last night we had a drastic drop in undead numbers from previous nights. /me is wondering if this is just all part of the chaotic and unpredictable nature of dealing with necromancy, or whether there was a boo-boo where someone realised they needed to decelerate the increasing numbers of undeads in order than the smaller divisions don't get totally swamped in the tourny after just 3-4 days.... perhaps it is both?

Any one run into these bad boys yet? Thank Chtulhu if you didn't.
Createure, you will be pleased to see that they are all "monstrous"
I wonder what "contagian" does? Hmmm, will this be the thing that turns our dead troops against us?
And three of the four are infantry. That's interesting.

They seem to be relatively susceptible to cav attacks. As a hooman, me like. Especially if they were to camp on standing stones (plains squares).

I am sure everyone is thinking the same thing here.....at some point, those defense stats are gonna come into play. Anyone else reckon we are gonna see camps of skellies appearing at some point?
