What's the point of such a change?!
In Necropolis, the architecture consists of pyramids with extensions and towers in the style of Chaos from Warhammer. Let's skip the towers, and the Necropolis from Heroes 6 would be a good fit. But initially, I'll leave the city's visual style as it is.

Maybe someone can help me with a video? My gnome disappears not as I want (he disappears immediately when the required dialogue is played, although he is set to disappear after 6 seconds and the casting animation on the first second)!
