Yes it would be good to know when someone is trying to use this on your zombies, but if they're not actually performing visible rituals (you can avoid them at high skill, or w/ penalties using Flexiible Rituals) then you might be unaware of what they're doing. Also unless you tell your zombie guard "kill anyone you see talking and moving their limbs" (goodbye to any human servants you might want around) they'd need some way of discerning who is casting spells. Do they have the IQ for that? The other 'mixed in forces' might come with liabilities, like creatures able to betray you under other circumstances. Quote:
If at that point the password was randomly changed: this is going to be very discouraging, because all your work is undone. Quote:

Re: protecting your Zombies from Control Zombie
That's both an example of "if it happens after the attacker has already made progress on an attack" and not a great example, because passwords don't normally have a small enough space for exhaustive searching to be possible. (Though 4-digit PINs or phone unlock codes may if they don't have an effective lockout mechanism.)
