I have used Purgatory in my recent MP game. Meglobob invaded my northern lands with corpse constructs and soulless. It seemed to work pretty nice. His armies were not very large (a couple of hundred in total IIRC) and 90, 60, 40 units were targeted the first 3 turns. I killed some of manually as well, so I'm not sure how he experienced the spell. His banelords seems to have survived the onslaugth without problems. Not sure about his unfrozen, there is still a handful or three around.
It doesn't target your own units.

It does effect even banelords, it gives them afflictions. Also it seems to take out the odd unfrozen, every now and again.
Against, LA Ermor or anyone else with huge amounts of undead Purgatory would be absolutely devestating. I don't see how LA Ermor could ever succeed in conquering a nation with Purgatory up.
I have found Purgatory annoying. But then Kristoffer has a very, very annoying playing style. Half a dozen locust swarms/blights/raging hearts/baleful star in the opening months of the war. Then leprosy on any big armies you have wondering around. The use of slaves to garrison castles, so they are incredibly difficult to siege and of course the large armies you use get leprosy.
Still, has I have used all those tactics myself I can't complain...
The one tactic I have never used is slaves to garrison castles, I assume slaves have no upkeep? Not being able to take enemy castles is really annoying, it stops you applying the finishing blow.
I have been experimenting with the, 'ultimate' castle defense force in SP. It is 1 army that can gateway to any castle you own and is capable of taking out any attacking army. It will probably be banned as another exploit if its use ever becomes widespread...
