Innate Ability Eruption: The unit explodes in a damaging spray of maggots when he dies, unless it has the Rebirth Battle Gear.
Rebirth Battle
Gear		 Rebirth: In the ultimate act of brotherhood with his pestilence companions, the infested One may devour the bodies of the living, trapping their souls within him. Should the Infested One receive a fatal wound, this raw vitality generates torn flesh, effectively raising him from the dead.
Famine Famine: The act of consuming one of his own clan enables the Infested One to forcibly rip worms from his stomach and fling them across an enemy's rice fields. This is painful and costs stamina, as the worms prefer the taste of flesh and do not relinquish it easy. It is far more painful to the crops and those who depend on them.
About: The Infested One's corruption is literal indeed; his swollen belly is a host to a mass of hungry maggots that devour his raw, bleeding flesh as quickly as it can heal. He lives in a state of constant suffering, yet identifies, perhaps, with his maggots: from their brutal, swarming life energy, he siphons the strength to continuously regenerate his body.

When angered, the Infested One flings writhing clots of starving maggots at his foes. These burrow into healthy flesh with terrible, swift efficiency. Upon his death, his 'children' abandon his cold, worm-eaten corpse en masse, seeking new hosts upon which to feed.

Usage: Another hinge of the Second Chance Tactic, 25% - 30% of my army consist of these guys. All of them try to have the Rebirth battle gear. I normally use them to take down enemy range units behind the enemy lines. With Channelers and their Rebirth, they last a long time. When health upgraded (4 Yin), they become very difficult to kill.

Famine is only good if he can reach the enemy rice fields, and then do it twice or thrice. Famine is useless if the Rice growth rate is Fast. So, I don't use it much, as it is tough to execute properly.
