AI will prioritize them, leaving your troops unharmed (for the like five seconds that the skeletons will survive). They're good meat shields and allow the Orcs to launch more effective counterassaults - park at the bridge outside their base, kill their attack force, reanimate a bunch of skeletons, and send in your army with the skeletons slightly ahead. This is particularly important because Archers are your bread and butter unit - it's an edge you'll be making use of almost every mission.Įdge: Humans.
