<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">IMHO Ghost Riders is mostly usefull for taking relatively empty provinces so they can't be retreated into, typically in concert with a real attack somewhere else.

I have a hard time imagining any army that would take significant damage from the spell, even in the middle game.

It probably won't work, though, since the Wraithlords would have good enough magic resistance, plus Undead Mastery is quite expensive and exhausting.

There are easier way to get cheap undeads.

I have tried a similar stunt with Control the Dead versus a bunch of Lammthastas that I summoned. Even though I got them, they left at the end of combat like normal. I must suspect the the Ghost Rider undead will do the same.
