Personally, this sounds like just the sort of sadistic thing a Wraith Lord would do.

I have seen demiliches commit suicide with bonegrinding when scripted to undead mastery.

My mages's so stupid, they cast Berserkers on themselves instead of the melee guys in front of them...

The beserker type spells should also avoid archer types. Archer types and low life mages should be given the least amount of priority when its seeking a target for these beserker spells.

Mages are very good at casting beserker spells on themselves except when you want them to.

I had a carrion lord SC. I wanted to make sure that it goes beserk so that it wound't run after the PD got killed. But it completely ignored my scripted beserk command, casted something else, and then ran away after the PD got killed. Grrr. The other 2 times I tried it I got the same thing.

... something just occured to me. Because they are undead is it possible they can't go beserk?

A simple to implement spell blacklist could avoid all that idiocy on mages ....

Probably not because they're undead. Might be that mindless units can't go Berserk.

I don't think carrion lords are mindless. However they are inanimate.
