One of the main advantages of eternal life is oppotunity to go to dormancy on couple of centuries, avoiding unfavourable conditions. When liches come to such decision, they also send their undead servants to conservation. When they stored at dry air, they could possibly persists for centures. When skeletons will be needed again, they called back. At Wesnoth Golden Age when might of the Royal Army was incomparable and light mages have created many powerful relics for extermination of undead, many liches fell asleep along with their armies. Their burials still can be found at ancient dungeons and coffins. Modern necromancers usually equip their skeletons same way they have seen from ancient undead. In ancient times undead army have used archers as well as any other army. In accordance with the traditions of the Golden Age ancient archers wears armor and equipped with broadswords for melee combat.
