Global spell tactics ?

Well, no global spell has much effect in one turn.

The Eyes of God? Thetis Blessing? Sea of Ice? Utterdark? Perpetual Storm? In one word, all the 'strategical' GEs?

And then there are globals you can choose to cast "just for a turn", when you haven't the gems to buff them, if you can get a bargain from that single turn - Forge of the Ancients being the most obvious example.

Now, maybe to you at least 10% less income in each province looks like marginal thing if you have no upkeep

Maybe 'marginal' isn't the most appropriate word here - I say 'marginal' because it's a small fraction, be it 10% of 1000 or 10% of 100000 - it's always 10%.

If you don't consider that to be nothing more then nuisance then you have such large empire and income that you have already won the game (or playing faerun).

Size has nothing to do with it. And I've never played Faerun - way too big for me.

The caster is usually undead nation (Carrion Woods, Desert Tombs, Ermor), which can even benefit from it by getting more corpses in provinces.

I forgot about that - but there are cheaper ways to get fresh (and better) corpses.

Anyway, since it's so little used in MP (except occasionally by near-extinct nations who just cast it to annoy their more succesful enemies! ), I think we're giving BOT an undeserved honor with this lengthy discussion.
