What undead? Wind rided commanders are the attackers, defenders get the first move. A lightning bolt can hit him in turn 1. Not to mention what a wither bones would do to him. Your script has no raise skeletons either.

Must I explain every detail? *shakes head in disappointment*.

Arrite, there's a good chance the lightning bolts will miss since I would put him in the back of the field. And if WR makes him go to the middle then there's still a good chance of survival. Ok, that solves the dieing first round problem

Next problem is wither bones. One time it was about 15 mages VS a single vampire queen. Each one was scripted to cast eagle eyes and wither bones. For some damn reason, every single mage missed the vampire. Now remember, the vampire can fly, so the vampire was POINT BLANK to my mages. The vampire attacked the skeletons my mages had summoned and my 15 mages casted wither bones again, each one missing when the damn queen was point blank... So I'm assuming that this will happen again with my pretender and note the undead horde will be very distracting.

Ok, now you say I didn't script any raise skeletons. First of all the spell "Undead Horde" takes 1 gem and summons 12+ effects. With a lvl 8 death mage that should be 16 undead a casting. Now about the scripting. Telling my pretender to "Cast Spells" does the job for me. When you got a lvl 8 pretender with 30 death gems, you seriously don't need to script anything. The AI is damn good about choosing spells when you got lvl 8 alteration and lvl 6 enchantment. (all of the best spells for an undead commander)

Oh yeah, and most air-oriented nations cannot cast wither bones, if any.
