Even if you want Goblins that badly, then be Theocrat and you'll be able to soft counter Undead. Hell just change your Race to something else, like Draconians or Orcs and Undead won't be such a big problem. Heck, increase your Starting Army to Strong. Set Roaming Parties to low or Defender Strength to weak.

You can easily change multiple settings to curb your problems. Furthermore you are playing on Small maps. You're inherently at a disadvantage, plus Lost Souls are floating/incorporeal so they ignore walls.

Originally posted by Frayed Sanity:In my current game, about 15 turns in, I left a stack of 4 in my 2nd goblin city, a Roaming 6 undead army (4 Lost Souls/2 Reanimators) just destroyed my 2nd hero and took my 2nd city. What in the blue hell am I doing wrong? Besides not taking out the Roamers first

I'm used to dealing with 'Barbarians,' but I just raqe-quit a game where I started off pretty well, vassalizing two Indies but I lost a lot of units then got City slammed by Roamers. So I know I eat dirt when it comes to the Roamers and the Baddie camp strength. I love, bloody adore, setting everything Map Setting wise to Random. Now I've been around these types of games for years (beginning with the old time Civs) but this game, since the recent X-pack, is making me scratch my head. So where my panties get into a bunch is the fact that everytime I do that, or leave a city guarded by one or two units, I'm swarmed by Roamers, lose a few units (fine) and maybe lose a city as I'm trying to take out the nearby baddie camps. I know the key here is to expand, not turtle, and explore (since it is a 4x game) and be aggressive with claiming nodes, farms, PoI and all that. When I run a game, I play 8 factions, small map (I like cramped maps, conducive to added warfare, at least it is on Civ 4/5) and I set everything to random, except for starting cities, to which I choose Settler and I play on Knight. I have both expansions so I'm all caught up on patches and updates. I took a little break from this game because I got back in to Arma 2, Arma 3 and heavily again into Civ 5. Alright I'm not one or much of asking for help, so I'm just going to make an opinionated statement.
