I'm planning on getting the game next week, but have spent some time in the meanwhile researching the product. After reading the rules, looking at the reference cards, and whatnot, I have one burning question:
Do the undead really need food to make it through the winter? Really?
I have always been enamored with the undead, often buying games merely because they contain this most hallowed of life-states, but the fact that a shambling husk of a skeleton would require adequate food, let alone shelter during the winter just seems odd to me. Unless the few necromancers and dark knights (some of whom may still be living) tend to gorge themselves on food through the winter, I can find little reason the other, less... "fleshy" members of the undead armies would ever require food.
Anyone know of any reason for this, or is there a rule I'm just not finding in my scaning of the rules?
Thanks!
