I don't like playing as Necromancers (but their creatures are good)... I guess death doesn't appeal to me)).
I only enjoyed playing as them in the second game)).

P.S. The other factions will suffer.

Necromancers in the 2nd and 3rd parts have quite a few advantages over Necromancers in the 5th part. In the 5th part, I don't like the inability to resurrect undead from undead (the fact that you can't resurrect golems and gargoyles is still tolerable, as they are made of stone). Also, the simple transformation of a unit into a Necropolis unit of the same level is not very pleasant. In the 3rd game, it was much more original: you could transform strong creatures (for example, nagas) into skeletons and add them to your army, or if you didn't want to, you could leave them for another hero or in the city – the choice was yours. It was exciting! But here – you need a Lich, so you buy some unicorns in a neighboring castle and transform them... you need a Vampire, so you take any level 4 creature and turn it into one, and so on. It's just too simple. It reminds me of the Amulet of the Necromancer. And tell me, how can a unicorn become a Lich (just logically??)...
