Bookwyrm627: Probably won't take as much effort as you might think, considering they jumped in and beat the snot out of one of my guys when I tried to remove Mimo's zombie from the area some time back.
I left him there solely to tempt you into attacking me. Was really hoping you'd bring a quality stack so all 12 of the area guards would chip in. :)
If you can buy their loyalty (the talk symbol), then they will join you in the battle. But you have to attack the perimeter unit of the same race first.
Dammit. You guys are learning too many of my tricks. Honestly, this one isn't too different than standing next to a tower or node guarded by indies of your alignment to gain their protection when an enemy attacks...
