Ghouls cannot enter the sea.

I should have said for number 5, or possibly as a complement to it, that MA Ermor, LA Ermor, and Lanka can also reanimate with gold purchased generic priests. Not sure about yomi, and I'm pretty positive LA Ctis and Pangea cannot (since both have national priests who lack the ability to reanimate).

Ermor, I believe, needs the black laurel to renanimate Lictors with level 3 holies - L3 just opens the option, which is to say you can't buy a bunch of cheap priests at 50 gold a pop and slap black laurels on them to spawn endless lictor hordes. So while I love LA Ermor as a concept, I find I'm chronically short of death gems and need to primarily use my abundant freespawns.

Giant zombies... yeah, that's what Niefelheim needs, another edge.
