Hire all the mercenaries you want. Get all the kittens in Thera. No problem. With Zombies, you're dealing with level 55 creatures (and if they're Zorszaul's, they can bash, trip, etc). With servitors, you're looking at level 50+ creatures that can throw out UNSPEAKABLE damage every round.
They deserve to be mentioned, though they in no way excuse a gang bang. What I would like to see is one rager on the undead army (and I stress army) or servitors and the other on the mage.
As a side note, during the time I was leader, Zorszaul suggest that I left the parity rule against him. If I had done that, he would have won. Figuratively.
