Death Magic on the Battlefield

[thejeff]

Raise skeletons works wonders against the AI.

Unless heavily massed, a dozen mages or more, it'll be ineffective against a decent player. Good troops or thugs cut through skeletons like butter, priests are cheaper than death mages and banish doesn't use fatigue.

It's good, but not a long term solution. The real strength of death is in summons.
