Question about meatwagons

[Magikarp]

I just had a quick question about the Undead meatwagons. What do they use corpses for? Initially I thought it used them as their ammo supply, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

And I don't have the guide with me.. if I did, I would just look it up in there.

A few things you can do with corpses my friend!

A) Necromancer - Raise Dead (common). Raise skeletons form the corpses and use them against your foes

B) Store corpses - Store corpses of powerful units like aboms and mortars for later use

C) Animate Dead - Death Knight. Combine A/B with Ghoul upgrades (base corpse) for some extra units in battle.

D) Eat the corpses - Recover 10 HP/second for Ghouls and aboms in battle, I do this most of hte time I dont want a unit dead.


Be warned, your corpses can be used against you by other undead players.

which is why you dont go necrowagon against UD m9irros =)

and update BF heal hurt thread newb.

There are people that do that. However, I use necros more for thier manual spells than thier summon skeleton army to slaughter enemy. I cripple things like chims and wyrms making them easier to kill, and I uf heroes and high constitution aboms to fend off melee attackers.

use corpses to distract your necrofile enemies

in all the other cases... listen to hellwolf =)

Also, don't let your meat wagons fall in combat against ud mirror. Your cargo will be dropped and the enemy can you teh hard earned (or easily generated) corpses against you from behind. Angle of Attack can be the victory in some battles.

 

[LuNa[eP]]

meatwagons are good against ud, too
suppose your enemies use necros... get 1-2 destroyers and release the corpses to him to raise
then dispel 'em , free xp for you

 

[ChrisH36]

Assuming you don't get webbed or garged and the destroyers don't die.

yes.. just don't do that if you can't assure your destroeyrs life ^^

 

[ChrisH36]

Many noobs think they will be fine. Wait until you are grounded and losing destroyers. Then they like "OMFG GG NO RM KTHX BYE"! Cockyness can cost you in any game.

the question is... destros won't die that easily with that MASS summons to dispel + coiling.
but against mass fiends and few necs that would be dumb =/

 

[ChrisH36]

Yeah, but around destroyers I turn off autocasting and resort to fast manuals like Purge.
