Default Re: re

Reanimation lists are nation specific, so the behavior of carrion reanimation is not a bug per se, but WAD. I suppose the lists could be tweaked, but I don't know for certain. It would depend on how the spell is tied to the reanimation lists and whether it can handle nonstandard reanimation lists the same as the default one.

The behavior of soulless commander is also WAD. Spells that summon units in that manner allow leadership capacity to be exceeded initially, but after that situation is altered, the game forces standard behavior. This is why you can't move the units back.

The behavior of Life After Death is, from what I can see, WAD. Units are assigned to squads on the basis of their individual unit identifier (the invisible one that keeps track of magic, afflictions etc). When they turn to soulless due to Life After Death, the monster ID changes to soulless, but the unique identifier stays the same. Therefore they must stay in the same squad or problems will start to occur. The alternative would be dropping them. After they are removed from the squad (i.e. unassigned), normal leadership rules start to apply.
