The Way of Mount Shinuyama

Why use a ghost general as a thug base instead of a bane, or better yet a bane lord?

Cost (slightly lower), research (need conj4 instead of 5), stealth and base etherealness. If your oponent has very easy access to magic weapons (like F9 bless, or a basic troop with a magic weapon as default), that's worthless. If it's not, it is much better imho.

Banelords make for better "main battle thugs", the ghost general is a better raider imho

Wraith Lords are nice because

1.) They have ethereal built in,
2.) They can use Soul Vortex,
3.) Immortality heals afflictions even outside your dominion.

I don't know if that's worth the cost premium for them, but I still like them. Although right now I like Malkim better.
