But if I were playing against a human and knew for sure that they would choose Death, then I would go for the path of pikeman-crusader-angel. And I would definitely include Order magic - only with teleportation will the full potential of these units be revealed. Besides, ballistas move slowly and cannot be resurrected. But IMHO, Life is simply made for a defensive strategy. And in defense, you only need archers.
