[Cainehill]

I'm not one of the Ermor experts, but I have done a little SG.

One thing that confused me for a bit was that commanders reanimating often get the results of their animating added to one of the units they're already leading. Looking at the 'free' / garrison troops, it wasn't adding up correctly, until I noticed the troops the commanders were leading swelling.

( I think that if the commander has no troops, they go in the pool; otherwise, they're added to the first stack of units he's leading. Very obvious when you have magic troops and then undead start joining them. Or, with CW, militia / satyrs and carrion bunnies joining them. )

On the spells - remember that most of the ones that affect the whole battlefield are affected by magic resistance, hence the lesser Versions will still get cast at the ones that didn't already get better MR / movement / strength from the other spells.
