* WholePlotReference: Boris Goldgather's end is ''very'' reminiscent of ''{{Literature/The Masque of the Red Death}}'' - a callously-uncaring nobleman sequesters himself with similar nobles and parties whilst his country is ravaged by a plague. Of the night of a ball, strange figures appear, and these nobles all die of the plague they were glibly avoiding.

* EasyLogistics: Very pointedly averted. Evey campaign turns on supply lines, especially the availability of water. Early on it's a major problem that the armies involved are too big to move at any decent speed and can't break up to travel faster because of terrain. Even before they switch to undead soldiers Nagash and Arkhan's biggest military advantage is that they are genuinely more skilled at coordinating and supplying large bodies of troops than their opponents.
