Are Zombies Worth It?

[Gaz O'D]

Is it worth having a few zombies ( maybe 2 stacks) in each army if you have the right skills/upgrades that make them better?

[Abear]

YES. GET ALLLLLL ZOMBIES. FULL ZOMBIE STACKS. AND THE SKILLS AND TECH HELPS.

Zombies are incredibly useful. I actually find them to be the most useful unit in the counts army. You can literally have a single lord of just zombies to reinforce you in fights to help with sieges as they're dirt cheap while you get many of them after fights via raise

I always use zombies in both campaign and multiplayer vs. They are great for rushing the enemy line and pinning them down so you can bring in your elite units to finish the job.

This. If an army looks a little tough,I bring a Varghulf.

Ups the army cost from 1500 to 2000 but it vastly increases the utility of the army.

My thing is I don't bother recruiting. I raise the 3 zombies+1skel+1skelspear. Move to.the next region, do the same thing, then recruit.

That's 10 units off the bat, then another 3-5 next turn. And full stack by turn 2. While I'm still moving and not parked.

WITNESS THE UNGODLY POWER OF THE UNDEAD.

It's also why people complaining that the VC cheat just need to learn to play.

Zombies aren't worth anything. That's what makes them worth it.
If nothing else a good many zombies help you set up more battlemarkers for better recruitment later on.

Tbh, zombies are a go go big or go home for me. Either my army is 100% trash, or its a decent, well balanced high tier army. Which shouldn't have any zombies in it.

Every army should have a few zombies. They're a real Thriller.

Hey! That was my joke! You can't do that, you hobbit!

I only played the VC once but it was by far my favorite play though. I kept atleast two units of zombies even in my high tier stacks.i usually used them as fodder to take the brunt of range attacks and attempt to disrupt enemy lines. Then as soon as a unit dies, usually one of my zombie units since they are my fodder, I use my lord to raise another battalion of zombies, preferably behind enemy lines if possible, if not then just wherever they are needed.

So yes I found zombies very useful :D

I'm not even close to an expert, but I still like zombies for fodder and having the rest of the army be montsrous and badass. All the zombies have to do is occupy the opposing forces, so while grave guard would do that better, they're also three times the cost. I'll probably switch to skeleton warrios soon because my income is getting pretty high, and they don't cost much more., plus they can kind of fight on their own.

[Ramen of Doom]

Money is not much of a concern by mid to late game for me. So I don't put zombies in my regular army. However, I do keep a second army of only zombies. Against a fully upgraded garrison, the casualties from the zombie army and garrison is usually enough to allow me to raise Terrorgeist next turn.
