![]() Sea Dogs can be pretty awesome, and indeed I like to run them in the early game with Rina before I've gotten access to a good supply of Undead units, but Pirates are really just terrible and Robbers and Marauders are. It's the same bonus, but on a smaller list, and the pseudo-race of outlaws isn't even a particularly great unit set. She has the added bonus that she will never, ever pester you about children. If you're going to all-in on Dark Commander and rule the world with the Undead, Zombie Rina is your gal-pal. Zombie Rina is amazing, with bar none the most useful innate effect of any of the Companions. +1 to the Speed and Initiative of Robbers, Marauders, Pirates, and Sea Dogs OR +1 to the Speed and Initiative of Undead.Įquipment slots: Armor, Artifact, Belt, Boots. The following list is ordered roughly in terms of when you can first acquire each Companion, for reference. Thankfully, all the later games dump children as a game mechanic entirely. The only savescumming you can realistically do is to drop a save before marriage and then if you don't like the child load the save and marry someone else, which is a huge waste of time. My recommendation is ignore the entire thing, because it's actively detrimental to good play. It's not even practical to savescum the children, because the game actually rolls all the children for all the Companions at the very beginning of the game, where if your run gets Ambrella from Feanora and you don't like that result loading an earlier save and trying again will always result in Feanora giving birth to Ambrella. If you get Gandalf, good for you, your Mage is going to be a monster in the late-game, but otherwise you can almost certainly do better with an actual piece of equipment. I don't care, because which ones you get are entirely random (Removing any possibility of meaningful analysis), and anyway the children both eat equipment slots and for the most part their effects are dubious in their utility. If you really care, Gamebanshee has lists for which children can be gotten from whom as well as what those children do. Note that I'm not going to be covering the children you can get. I'm calling them 'Companions' and not 'wives' both because it makes this concept less of a headache to talk about across the games (Each game has different terminology for what's mostly basically the same mechanic) and because it feels less creepy that way.
