Undead really turn people off. Heck, they attract clerics, paladins, and NPCs with weird undead-slaying Prestige Classes. If you create too many undead, the Inevitible of No Making Too Many Undead may travel the multiverse to smite you. And the undead themselves... zombies are slow! The transportation issues are monumental. There are dangers to armies of zombies. For instance, clerics may turn or destroy them. Worse, enemy clerics and dread necromancers may STEAL them. Forget about sneaking anywhere.... if you go to slay a dragon, it's going to see you from a mile away, and it's going to come up and burn up all your zombies at an inopportune time. And more powerful minions? Very vulnerable to things like searing ray, undeath to death, and so forth. To say nothing of a Mass Cure Light Wounds spell.</p></blockquote><p></p>
