True, but there aren't nearly as many Myrks available as Myrms. Maybe I'm just getting better, but I know my dwarves and archers were very glad to see the backs of the myrms. They may not have made spooky noises like the myrks, but in M2 I had a much easier time of it since I didn't have to worry about one myrm getting away from my zerks and slicing up my dwarves.
Ok, as for SB: he seems to have been pretty thorough in his recruiting, since he got all but one of the old races and a couple new ones to boot. If he thought ghols were worth keeping around, even though they've plainly gotten stoopider since Myth I (remember how they used to run away and then sneak back around? You don't see much of that proactive thinking anymore), surely he could have found a place in his heart for the myrmidons. Maybe they just took one look at him and said, "if anybody's going to get us our faces back, this guy ain't it!". They didn't strike me, however, as the kind of wise fellows who would see through anybody.
