Pisachas and Ganas

Actually, fear and awe should work. They are not mindless.

Fear and awe are both morale based effects, so they work best against low-normal morale units.

Wiki looks to be up now and it's saying the Ganas have morale 15 and the Pisachas 18, so I wouldn't count on the awe doing much in that fight.

The good news is both appear to have not very impressive MR (12 for the Ganas & 8 for the Pisachas). So Deathblob's banish idea should work pretty well, if you have blockers to hold them at bay. Of course, it sounds like there are no nearby priests...

Really? I've been playing under the assumption all undead were mindless or had ridiculously high morale!

Well, I ordered the attack this turn. I was able to secure 3 priests and few other casters. Even at H1 it should be something. I've got a nice sturdy shield wall about 3 dozen strong, and assorted other troops on the flanks. It may end up being overkill, but hey.

Oh brother!

Yeah, but as Hrum said, they do have pretty good morale, so don't make awe/fear your only defense.
