Obviously you've never or rarely have used this spell. For the 75-something times I've casted this spell the wraith lord has never routed. In fact the wraith lord by himself has wiped out provinces after the rest have died.

And even if the riders successfully beat the local defense, I think it'll only turn the province neutral. A nuaisance but not much more.

The enemy province turns neutral then you march your troops into the territory which take the territory with little or no resistance. I don't know about you but having two or three provinces go neutral every turn is more then a small problem.

Pale Rider is a lower level spell which can give you similar undead riders. And to me, a more practical spell. [/QB]

Twice the cost for half the attack force... yeah thats a plan.


Also lets not forget people that 'master enslave' means you have to place your commander in the battefield... which means something could kill him.

Graeme Dice... master enslave is a hundred times more difficult and dangerous to cast then ghost riders. Try and find a better match.
