On using poison cloud units...

Additionally, getting a decent amount of undead together (except if you are Ermor or Ctis/Tombs in which case you lose the immediate BogBeasts anyway) is not something you can't do from the get-go. Am I mistaken about that?

If your pretender starts with 4 death this will allow you to find most sites which give death gems. Find two or three sites with +2 death gems and by the time your researchers reach the pale riders spell you'll be ready to cast the spell a few times. Also your blessed troops get a fear bonus.
Lots can also depend on luck... I've had games where after searching 50 territories I only had +9 death gems per turn.


Death magic is also important because it opens the doorway for you to enter the water territories more easily.
