soul gate question

If I had a province that had both corpses and living pop (so all 3 call types were available), and my priests were high enough level to summon them, I'd generally summon apparitions - I like the disease effect, and you don't get many of apparitions normally. If I can't get apparitions, I generally go for the disp. spirits because you get more of them than shadows, and you can't call them anymore once the corpses run out so I try to take advantage of the corpses while I can.

If I have a province that has both corpses and living population, I'll generally assign one or two high level guys to apparitions while the rest do spirits: This is because the calling of apparitions produces corpses as a byproduct, and if you have several guys, say, 3-4, for every senator or consul on Apparitions, you'll also get to use the corpses produced there. If there are many preexisting corpses, I may assign up to 6 guys per Apparitioner on Dispies: This isn't really a tradeoff, as generally you have a dogpile of Tribunes lying around, and it's either shadows or dispies for them.
