Yeah I have a feeling that people are assigning too much difficulty to this particular strategy. All you have to be able to do is cast Life After Death - simple matter with a little planning. There is like a million ways to kill off your mages after that in such a way that they are not in danger beyond your control.

As for the people who dont think its worth the investment - I have to admit I'm surprised. You are telling me that spending enough to just get even 10 indy priests is significant? Not really. And it is even less so when you realize you can turn them into undead to remove thier upkeep. At that point you can just churn out what, 50 longdead a turn? Thats like paying 600gold for an undead generator. Who would say no to this?? There is no point in the game where I would turn down 50 free longdead a turn.
