Description

Pigeons offer a stronger more portable version of territory healing. They are great to have hit-and-run tactics, to heal in between hits, or to quickly recuperate injured units after a skirmish or a big fight. Keep in mind that only 1 unit can be healed by a pigeon at a time, so if you're using pigeons, you generally only need 1 or 2 warrens, 3 may be a bit of a stretch and anything more is probably excessive. Pigeons are as beefy as lizards so they may be a good damage fodder against, say, squirrels.

Counters

Since pigeons don't attack they can be killed by just about anything that can hit it.
