Undead are a fast/medium speed race with a rare trait; the ability to convert on hitting. Additionally, they have immortal OP and incredibly reduced casualties on defence, meaning it is in some ways more forgiving to be hit: you will often be able to get back up. The basic idea of attacking with SPUD is to hit in the proper range as often as possible using elite OP in order to generate free elite DP units for your dominion. Because they are a fast/medium speed race, it is recommended to have started building Guard Towers by mid-round.
