And right after that battle, I played again, Broken Alliance, difficult level, against 5 strong AIs. I tried starting by clearing out tough neutrals at the gate with 8 Spectres plus one Skeleton Warrior, and it worked. This time, I focused on Stone Skin and Retaliation 1, 2. Stone Skin is a great ability; Spectres, combined with Regeneration and Stone Skin, can withstand attacks from tough neutrals with minimal damage. With 8 Spectres, I managed to defeat 56 Dogs and 50 Fanatics. 14 Spectres easily defeated 70 Pearl Priests (although they have magic damage). At first, I was a little scared to fight them, but then I easily won, although my hero was already quite powerful (Luna). There were no economy heroes.
I developed my heroes like this: Regeneration, Education, Stone Skin, Retaliation 1, 2, Logistics, Guardian of the Secret 1, 2, Champion 1. I'm not sure about Retaliation 1, but I didn't really understand Retaliation 2, as I only got the chance for an extra attack once or twice during the entire game. I had the Amulet of Necromancy, and that's a great item; I hadn't really noticed it before, but with it, you quickly gain Necromancy points.
I'm attaching a SCREENSHOT. Here, for some reason, the heroes are displayed at the bottom, you can see four, but there were 6, and I bought the 6th one for no reason. I bought him for 19500 from the Shrine to chase down the enemy, but I caught him with another Necromancer hero.
It also took about 13 or 14 days. I also got distracted by battles with neutrals for resources along the way, out of greed. If I hadn't, I would have played faster. In HOURS, it turned out to be about the same as in the previous battle.
SUMMARY. It's possible to play 2-3 days faster. But that's not interesting anymore. :)
I'm ending my speed runs against the AI with Necropolis! I know other Necromancer tactics, but those are for multiplayer games. I'll do that later. :
I'll write about how to develop a Necromancer mage in a special section. But briefly, it's like this, as mentioned above, only instead of Retaliation 2, you should take Stamina 1.
Necropolis is a powerful faction! But now I'll try playing with another race to gain more experience.
