IMO Vengeance of the Dead is buggy too, for including undead kills in its dead count. It's the souls of the dead you slew coming back to haunt you. So when you double up, where the heck did those extra undead come from?

Its the same mechanics as reincarnation. If reincarnation is true, than how does the population of the world increase? The person living now is only the soul of someone who lived before. They don't die and create a soul of their present life in addition to their last one. So as population increases, where are all the extra souls coming from?

New souls right? Do the "mechanics" of reincarnation say anything about brand new souls entering the mix?

There might also be, just to give numbers, a total of 1 billion souls in many places, with "only" 1 million "alive". Leaving place for extension.

Yeah, there could be a lot more available souls then souls "in use". The more people there are, the less time it takes each soul to reincarnate.

As for a counter, how about a sufficiently strong fire shield? If it is strong enough to kill a soul in one hit, then all the souls will be annihilated fairly quickly, as a new soul comes to take the place of a killed soul in the same turn it is killed. (I've never tried VotD, so I don't know how tough the undead are to see if such a thing is possible/viable)
