King Haybol
I played Undead last round.
I think Skeletal Legion and the racial strat are a trap, unless you’re specifically going against someone that's almost all LR damage (a gnome that knew you were coming could in theory counter you) or Elves in general, because you'll out-train them until they get enough mages to counter your legion... but are then very susceptible to other forms of damage.
If you're on racial and sending other units, those other units are going to take way more than just 20% damage. If your legion are 80% of your army, that means 100% of the opposition's LR damage is going to go to 20% of your army. And that damage is going to be increased by 20%. Sucks for them.
If the opposition has SR damage, your Legion are going to get thinned out before melee. Whatever other units that might have survived LR are going to have Legion take some of the damage.
Now you've finally made it to melee. Hopefully enough lived for you to make an impact.
Avoid Humans, Orcs, Dwarves, and super Mage heavy Elves when running Skeletal Legion. There's a certain poetic justice to Mages perfectly countering Legion.
NOW, if you are going to build to fight Humans, Orcs, and Dwarves, your army needs to be COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. Your Skeletal Legion are just filler and you convert them to other more useful units which is basically everything but Abomination Caragous. But once you get it up and running... very strong. Broke down the BRs @skigglez posted (or at least I think you did, either way I was sent them because I need to see bloodshed somewhere). Yeah, it took 3 smaller Dwarves to break a larger Undead that was built for it. I'm guessing skigglez was either 2:1 gh or 1.7ish with barracks.
