 +| ::: | Vine men are chaff with low combat stats and some HP. They are notable for not being inanimate, having 50 morale, and their resistances to poison, blunt and pierce damage. The effectiveness of this spell scales with the [[Ivy Lord]] ability, which is most easily obtained by forging an ??Ivy Crown?? or summoning an ??Ivy Lord??. |||

 | ::: | Wolves are a very cheap animal summon. As fast [[undisciplined]] units that are substantially weaker than many PD troops, their combat effectiveness is typically limited to serving as a distraction. A popular use case is as early game patrol chaff for [[blood hunting]]. ||| | ::: | Wolves are a very cheap animal summon.

-| ::: | Horned serpents are easily massed [[undisciplined]] [[cold-blooded]] animals with a poisonous bite. While 29HP, 11 protection, and 14 attack skill may seem impressive, these trade poorly with many basic units, including basic province defense. The primary issue is their 7 defense, which means that their attacks will be very often be prevented by [[repel]]. One might think that their 13 morale would make that a non-issue, but checks to attack despite a successful repel are penalized by how much the defender won the repel check by, which will usually be a lot. \\ \\ As a result, ??Army of Giants?? will significantly improve their damage output against troops with length 0 or 1 weapons, if you can manage to target them with it despite their lack of discipline. Their low cost, high attack skill, high MR, and 15AN [[poison]] mean they can still have a useful role as a tool against some elite targets lacking high poison resistance, or, heavily buffed, as chaff in in late game battles. \\ \\ Note that these can be summoned more efficiently by casting ??Animal Horde?? in a swamp province. ||| +| ::: | //Wasteland only.// Horned serpents are easily massed [[undisciplined]] [[cold-blooded]] animals with a poisonous bite.

-| ::: | Mindless, poison resistant chaff. With two very weak attacks, unbreakable morale, some physical resistances, and awful combat stats, vine men are typically used as blockers or as bodyguard "batteries" for a mage casting ??soul vortex??. \\ Spell scales with the [[Ivy Lord]] ability, which is most easily obtained by forging an ??Ivy Crown?? or summoning an ??Ivy Lord??. ||| +| ::: | Technically a remote attack, this spell can be cast in friendly territory as a remote summon. Gives half as many wolves outside forests. Less efficient as a summoning spell than ??Pack of Wolves??, but the ??Werewolf#633?? can summon 3 wolves per turn. It takes ten months for the werewolf to produce an equal amount of wolves per nature gem, assuming the spell was used in a forest. |||
