Default Death, the Undead and strange thoughts

Jotunheim can get special Longdead from reanimation. Can C'tis get any other than their national longdead from Reanimation and similar, or do they get the lizard ones?

Which longdead can be reanimated by the command Reanimate Longdead?

What are the Reanimate commands for different races? My quess is Ghoul, Soulless, Longdead, Longdead Horsemen, Ermorian Lictors for everyone except C'tis, with no special undead for summoned Unholy priests for Caelum or Jotunheim.

What spells summon ghouls, soulless, longdead and longdead horsemen, for one battle only or as units? These are the ones I know and remember:
Awaken Hunger, ghouls
Reanimation, longdead
Raise Skeletons, longdead
Ghost Ship Armada, longdead?
Army of the Dead, longdead & soulless
Raise Dead, soulless
Carrion Reanimation, soulless
Life After Death, soulless
Pale Riders, longdead horsemen
Ghost Rider, longdead horsemen

I am asking this because I would like to mod some Death spells to Nature spells in my mod. I won't have time to try to do this probably before summer, but I have few free days and would like to think some things through. I am thinking of modding Ghost Riders to send a herd of buffalo to ravage through a province, and to make Unholy magic reanimate (call forth) beasts, birds and other "natural" creatures instead of undead.

Having to replace both Soulless and Longdead to be able to use Reanimate is not too good, but I think I can explain that in my mod. It is very early stage of the Dominions world, world dominated by creatures very inhuman. Dwarves would still exist in larger numbers, Vanir would not be the rulers but the subjects, Niefel would not yet have defeated the Asmegs (or maybe Aesir, I haven't decided on that yet), Tuatha would still live in Avalon, Abysia would not yet have Humanbred armies (although I would like change Crossbreed to be their specialty, giving them access to race Humanbreds and Garnet Amazons originate from), instead of human nations there would be Tribes, Ice Devils would rule the Abyss, there would be less magic floating around and less spells to research, Divine magic would have a bigger role (I especially like the NNHH summon of the Oglala mod and the idea of literally Holy Pyre)...

Oh, and the Furman I use as my avatar will be one of the inhabitants of this hostile, dangerous Era. He is one of the lucky ones, though, because he is a Horse Brother and has stayed mostly intact. Others will be made from bits and pieces I manage to gather from different units of the game or can create myself. As for everybody else, the graphics are my biggest problem.
