How long's it take a mounted commander to get over? 2 turns? Although most people don't tend to use mounted commanders all that much.

What about just sticking a skullface on one? Not quite as effective as lifelong protection, especially against mages, but still pretty good and much easier to obtain (A Death random on a mage or priest with a ring of sorcery and a staff of skulls. If you're really lucky you could even get a mage with Death 2). Then you could even throw on an elemental armor, cast resist magic, and not have to worry about mages much. Not sure what you'd script, though. Resist magic, raise skeletons X4, fire? Maybe skip resist magic since you already start with 20. You could throw on an AMA if you're really worried about it.

The funny thing about casting Body Ethereal with Lifelong Protection on is that he seems to always cast it on an imp or two. Not exactly what I wanted but usually actually works out really well.
