Hmm, lots of wishes. I'm quite confident many of these will get lost unless they are summarized.

I've heard several of these before, but it's a lot easier to decide what to do when suggestions are summed up in the nice fashion of the first post of this thread.

Boron:

What's wrong with SG reanimation?

When you reanimate you use unburied corpses/population/nothing depending on what you reanimate.

Freespawning (newer heard the term before ) of dispossessed spirits uses unburied corpses, an is the only freespawning that doesn't need a temple. Apparitions uses pop and other ar free.

Thus your reanimation might reduce the effects of your freespawning. When all pop and corpses are gone you will have to reanimate shadows or shades (cant remember which). A temple is also needed to get anythinng at all as there are no corpses to become disposesses spirits.

how do you get the spectral legionaires ?
i thought they are one of sg's "freespawns" too since you can't get them via reanimation .
once i reanimated heavy in my capitol though i noticed that i get fewer to none of them anymore .
i remember i read in a thread that the freespawns of ermor don't work correctly . i think norfleet said this or zen so one of the expierienced veterans . i had the same feeling when playing sg ermor .
unfortunately i don't find the thread at the moment

Spectral Legionaires are free, if you have a temple and a fortress. Without the fortress you get shades, ghosts, dispossessed spirits etc (depending on dominion). With a strong dominion you get better spirits and with a fortress you get mainly legionaires.

I'll see what I can find on the matter of disfunctional freespawns. If you find it bump the thread or send me a personal message with a link.

Which is why we need Zen to create a locked sticky thread, in the manner of the AAR and links threads, to track this stuff, with a seperate (open) thread for posters to submit ideas for him to add to the locked stickied thread.

The spectral legionaries and velites only show up in provinces with a castle.

I think it's probably more likely that you are simply removing the troops from your capital more quickly than before. Or you could have hit the limit of around 32000 troops, which means that you won't get anymore until some of them die.
