A question for the developers. In my opinion, why does the Necromancer race become so popular in Heroes 5? I think they have too many advantages. The ability to transform warriors into undead of the same level in the castle. You can recruit other creatures into your army and then easily transform them into undead. This is a huge plus. You should transform everyone into skeletons and focus on that. Transforming defeated creatures after a battle into skeletons (skeleton archers). A regular army suffers losses after each campaign, but the Necromancers almost always gain reinforcements. It turns out that the Necromancer race is virtually indestructible. This is another plus. In addition, after a unit is defeated, ghosts appear. The idea behind ghosts is that they are people who were tortured and deprived of their lives through torture and torment – basically, the Inquisition. But on the battlefield, they die heroically, for their homeland (or for Stalin, ideologically speaking). In short, it's a minor detail, but it's unpleasant and, in my opinion, doesn't fit the storyline. The cost of hiring units. I think the cost of "digging them up" (after burial), so to speak, has not been taken into account. Plus, there are many other advantages...
