Recently, I played with a friend on the long-forgotten 1.6 version, and I was amazed – are Necromancers the strongest faction?! I maxed out skills like Grave Chill, Cold Steel, Soldier's Luck, and full Sorcery with undead protection, and I have to say, the troops become virtually invulnerable. I even defeated a Sylvan player, and he's not a newbie, by any means. So, give it a try. As for version 3.1, it's really worth playing as Markal or Orson, especially if you max out Soldier's Luck. Then you can easily divide Vampire Princes into stacks of three; they will create new units every turn. That's the advantage.
