Stage 5 of the John Van Caneghem Tournament

Guys, where are the Necromancers? Where are they located? Where are their artifacts? Has anyone completed the game as Orcs in a short amount of time, or did everyone choose the Undead faction?

During the first week (and even more so during the second), you can buy a hero without starting troops, after you've purchased your two Barbarian heroes. But this is already a matter of chance – it depends on how it generates. Personally, I completed the game as Orcs. We were talking about a great artifact – the Skull of Markel (guarded by summoned creatures in the Dungeon) – it provides +5 to Magic and Knowledge skills (a total of +10 to characteristics).
