I have a vague recollection that we didn't want them to be healed, making inanimated unhealable, but that might be wishful thinking.
I think Tartarians would be much closer to balanced (and more interesting) if their starting afflictions could not be healed.
I utterly disagree. You would just make another lvl 9 spell fairly useless/boring. Leave Tartarians as is. If you did as you suggest, I would just summon bane lords for 12D gems and never use Tartarians. So you would just remove a fun part of the game. It takes considerable planning and skill to get Tartarians/Chalice or Tartarians/Gift of Health and a decent death/nature income to take advantage of it all. It is most certainly not inbalanced and is very much needed in ending long MP games or long SP games for that matter if you actually want to complete them.

Put research upto very hard, then you can battle away with your armies without magic having any real influence.
