Actually this brings up the question i had regarding unholy summoning; Ghouls vs. Longdead vs. Souless.

Soulless are only raised with weapons and armor after a battle (a nice touch). Otherwise they come back unarmed. And unskilled - the lowest in the game. They're virtually worthless in combat without weapons. But they do have 15 hp.

Longdead are skilled and their armaments are varied. Many have 11+ armor and 11 attacks skills. But most have only 5 hp - banish bait. Longdead tend to die just about as badly as Soulless.

Now i used to have a deep aVersion to Ghouls because of the way they ate pop. But on further reflection (and experience), they have the advantage of Paralyzing Poison, which if it connects and sticks, is just plain better than some feeble zombie limp-wristed punch. And of course you can use summoning Ghouls to burninate one of those random provinces you oftentimes take over.

Ghoul / Soulless / Longdead?
(I have this idea of plaing base Ermor with 3 Growth and pumping out Ghouls.)
