Greetings Empire,

A problem, I have.
I order my ghouls to canniballize when there are corpses right beside them and they still don't do anything. Their life is set to 75.00% of the max.
Please help me!

Ghouls can't use Caniballize when their HP is full, so I took 25% of their life to give them something to heal.
Just so you know, I'm using the default ability, and still Ghouls cannibalize only their allies... Is it supposed to be that way?

that happened to me, it depends on what kind of corpses they are, they will not cannobolize IF the corpses are incorrect corpses OR its a glitch then yeah.. but good luck to you, what kind of corpses where they? footmen? creeps corpse? It shouldnt just be there allies but its possible that you may only be able to cannoblize your corpses, wait now that i think about it, it is only your allies!, best spot is the grave yard so yeah ^-^ but do know in the object editor if you have specific enemies that you want to edit/ canoblize from you can edit what kind of unit they are so like worker ally machine stuff like that is in there you can change to make it so you can eat your enemy units flesh

I removed that requirement, so no need of the research.
About the ability- The ghouls cannibalize, but only their friends, when I put beside them corpses of enemies they won't cannibalize them.
Yes, the unit group is correct, I know that because it worked at first (on enemy footman corpses) but after a few runs of the map I couldn't order them to cannibalize (on enemy high elves, the villagers).
For your information, I'm ordering them to do it through a trigger because they are controlled by a computer player.
EDIT: It gets weirder. Although I took a part of their life away with triggers, they cannibalize only once attacked.
