Getting addicted to death mana

[cabbagemeister]

The reason Death Mana is so powerful is because for spells like Destroy Undead, you have to cast them after an opponent summons them, but before they attack. This is hard as it is with Simultanious Turns, and impossible in games were you take turns. Maybe there could be a spell that gives 50% resistance to death damage...

It's slightly worthwhile against Summoner leaders (Sheaim, Infernals, Keelyn), where the summon sticks around. It also works well against nonsummoned undead units like Pyre Zombies and Diseased Corpses, which are built by...the Sheaim, Infernals, and AV-loving Keelyn. So it seems to be a spell which is useful against specific civs.

If a Pyre Zombie is killed by Destroy Undead, do they still explode?

No, Pyre Zombies only explode when they loose a battle (even if they had the immortal promotion and so wouldn't really die, I think), not when damage dealt in python kills them.
