Need to vent about "Vengeance of the Dead"

Battle Replay
Battle replay is there because it's a "real" battle - guess it's (code-wise) some kind of assassination (bodyguards left out), including spellcasting, dying from exhaustion, melee etc.

my opinion
It doesn't make sense to me that undead are counted as kills. It's especially strange that killing the soulless from VotD acutally counts against the rating, too - had a really strange incident with a Sidhe Lord. He got VotD'ed when he had 21 kills and wasn't in the hall of fame. He killed off those soulles and jumped there with 42 kills. Obviously the AI had a good time tracing him with spells or scouts (or blatantly cheated), 'cause he resisted 3 or more castings, killed those 42 souls off again before he finally exhausted himself frying the 3 Last soulless of the attacking 84 when he failed the MR test the third time he(I still wonder why the idiot chose a fat-20 spell when at 90 already, instead of doing melee what would have cost him net 2 pts/turn..)

Last but ..
Could anyone tell me why the attacking souls are actually represented by soulless? Wouldn't be Ghosts or Spirits more appropiate?


edited: faulty memory - the commander got VotD'ed 3 times succesfully - the first 2 times where pretty funny as they gave him a nice boost
