Discussion of the Necropolis faction.

The Dark Elves had Twilight Witches at level 6 and Dragons at level 7. I think it would be logical to do the same for Necropolis, making female Spiderlings elite units and Sphinxes champions. In my opinion, an animated beast would look more impressive than spiderlings on spider legs:

A Sphinx is an animated stone statue; it's unclear where Necropolis got it from. As I said, the Spiderlings are messengers of Ashi. Such a fragile image is either meant to deceive the enemy (like, "I'm weak, I'll attack and crush you," and then they attack and kill a bunch of strong warriors) or they will be powerful dark mages, but this image doesn't really fit that!
