Quicksand can be particulary useful in town sieges, since a large portion of the battlefield is blocked by walls and moats. It is also useful when fighting neutral army stacks, since wandering creatures will always attempt to attack foes that are within reach, making them predictable and thereby easy to "trick" into stepping on the quicksand. This strategy can potentially give your shooters many more turns to shoot before the enemy reaches them.
