Across the seas, across the waves.

I replayed as Necropolis, completed the game with a hero in 117 days (and received a Thunderlord). The game seemed a bit more challenging than playing as Haven. By some miracle, with the help of Dark magic, I repelled the attacks of Haven and Academy in the beginning of the second month, and then I improved "marauding" with the mentor, reached the Phoenixes, and gained operational freedom. Judging by my unfortunate experience with Sylvan, playing as other factions on a hero difficulty will be quite problematic, as Dark magic is the key to overcoming the enemy's onslaught in the beginning of the second month. Thanks again to the author for the interesting map.
