LA Ctis strategy?

[sector24]

Just wondering if anyone has played this nation and has some advice. If you wanted to work the undead angle, it seems like LA Ermor is the (much) better choice. Tomb Guards are pretty nice heavy infantry but they're not powerful offensively and they have a mapmove of 1.

The undead synergize with the poison slingers nicely. Your mages are pretty good artillery platforms, but your research is kind of weak and you have to spend a lot of time summoning and ferrying undead.

So where is the true strength of this nation? Any suggestions on pretender and scale design?
