Thinking about this more... is Ashdod spam actually better? Typically it seems that you get either 5 regular skellies or 1 giant skelly (or maybe 1 giant and 1 normal). I don't think 10 giant skellies are actually better than 50 regular skellies except maybe against heavily-armored troops. (Troop density is worse and you have less overall attacking power.)

From everything that I've seen, there is no reduction in quantity. Nation specific undead are simply added to the "spawn list". This is most clear with Lanka priests Reanimating, as they can get large numbers of Soulless Bandar, which are quite nice.

(EDIT - Just rewatched a current Ashdod fight, with a single skelly spammer. First cast, 5 Longdead. Second cast, 4 Longdead + 1 Longdead Rephaite.)
