Do you have a question? Is it just me, or is there a bug with Necropolis in the game for everyone in the company?!!!!

- The task is "Mass Summoning," and I'm at the third grave in order. Here it is:

I didn't raise any undead from this grave, but it says "visited."
Tell me, kind people, is this happening to everyone, or is it just me? Thanks.

Maybe. I also didn't manage to complete the quest to visit the graves in this mission. So, it's a bug.

HELP
I can't even get past the very beginning (Necropolis - "Misfortune Never Comes Alone" [Campaign 2 - Mission 1]).
I can't defeat the guy because his army is deadly, and mine consists of weak units.
What should I do?
It's simply impossible to assemble a decent army; at least, I don't see a way to do it.
Just skip turns and wait for an army to gather?!!! IMPOSSIBLE.

PLEASE HELP

Wow, you've been playing for so long :D? It must be about two years. Just try starting a mission and quickly reaching that inquisitor. I remember this mission because the difficulty of the enemies in it is perfectly balanced – almost like a tutorial.

I didn't raise any undead from this Necropolis, but it says "visited" in the tooltip.

I had the same bug. I tried visiting this Necropolis with another hero - it worked!

I had the same bug. I tried visiting this tomb with a different hero – it worked!

I think this could be added to the FAQ: a simple and elegant solution to the problem.

Of all the missions in the Necromancer campaign, this one is the most difficult, as initially only 3 types of creatures are available, and even those are without upgrades. The computer, however, has 4 types of creatures and all the upgrades!

Upgrades will be available later, but only for 2 creatures, specifically for skeletons and ghosts, and only after completing additional tasks.

Out of all the missions in the Necromancer campaign, this one is the most challenging, as you initially only have access to 3 types of creatures, and even those are without upgrades. The computer, however, has 4 types of creatures and all the upgrades!

As an alternative, you can leave the towns untouched (not rebuild them); this has its own advantages and disadvantages (but it's an experimental idea):
Advantages:
-In the end, you will have access to Guardians, Archers, Novices, and Griffins (the possibility of upgrading them depends on the specific town).
-There is an upgraded market (the undead don't have one at all), which means you can buy artifacts.
-Archers do not have a range penalty.
Disadvantages:
-You cannot replenish your own forces, BUT you need to preserve the initial troops, as the plot requires the troops to be replenished with undead. However, a mixed army is a problem for human troops, as there will be problems with morale.
-Necromancy only works on undead.

I have the same problem. Difficulty level - easy.
My first attempt to complete this map:
I run around, collect all the resources, clear the map of monsters, and capture all the mines and artifacts.
Result: I fail to capture the first castle (after going through the dungeon). The Inquisitor's army is too strong.

My second attempt to complete this map:
The fastest rush possible, raising an army from graveyards, not collecting resources, not spending the army on monsters.
Result: I manage to capture the first castle (after going through the dungeon), but only 10% of the original creatures remain. On the very next turn (after opening the 2nd gate), I get completely destroyed.

Question: how do I actually complete this map?

Hello everyone!!!
I'm currently playing the first mission of the 2nd Campaign – I can't say yet how difficult it is, although I've only taken the first Castle, but I have a lot of troops left. On the way to the second Castle, I immediately recruited all the troops that joined me, so I don't think I'll have the problem that was mentioned above, and that I saw in the screenshot. But I definitely won't have the patience to play for 2 years (in-game)! I'll probably start the game again! But again, I doubt I'll complete it as I did the introductory campaign, but anything is possible. If something doesn't work out, I'll write about it!:smile33: I will write about any result, whether I complete it or not! But it would be better to complete it (finish it) on the first try! Good luck to everyone, may everyone complete this campaign and all subsequent ones and be #1:smile49: :smile49: :smile49:

Guys, I couldn't complete it((((
I took the second Castle easily; it seems the enemy troops didn't have time to arrive!
After taking the 2nd Castle, a message appeared, and a sub-quest was added to the main quest: defeat the rebels (general) near the fort!
The danger level was normal, and it was possible to win easily, but as soon as I started to move away, a 2nd army appeared with a danger level of UNREAL!!!
I had 50 skeletons, 30 ghosts, and 80 of those undead!
They completely destroyed me!!! I played 2 times, but I couldn't win even once!
I need help!!! Thank you in advance for your answers and attention!!!

Wow, you're capturing the second castle, and you have over a million in gold. I captured it, and I had 40,000 and it was early in the second month.
Therefore, I agree with the winner; you'll just have to replay the mission.

Similar problem. Difficulty level - easy.
My first attempt at completing this map:
I run around, collect all the resources, clear the map of mobs, capture all the mines and artifacts.
Result - I can't capture the first castle (after going through the Dungeon). The Inquisitor's army is too strong.

My second attempt at completing this map:
The fastest rush, raising an army from graveyards, I don't collect resources, I don't spend the army on mobs.
Result - I manage to capture the first castle (after going through the Dungeon), but only 10% of the original creatures remain. On the next turn (after opening the 2nd gate), I get completely destroyed.

Question: how do I complete this map?

Maybe the fastest rush isn't that fast after all? I always prioritize Logistics/Pathfinding and Robbery as the first skills for all my heroes; I like it. Again, the threat level (deadly/high) depends on the hero's level. Therefore, you still need to clear the map, but quickly, so that the level increases.
I had difficulties capturing the 3rd castle, but 2 scrolls of Blindness saved me. Try a different battle tactic.
Build the Altar of Eternal Enslavement, the improved city portal. Capture the castle, teleport to the first castle so that you don't get beaten up on the 2nd turn. And return your army back.

I'm playing on the normal difficulty level – it's going well (another example of the developers of Heroes 6 creating unnecessary complexity; why didn't they like the existing difficulty levels?). So far, no problems. After capturing the first Castle, I immediately built a Hall of Heroes and hired two heroes, transferring all of their army to the main hero. Anastasia cleared the territory of neutrals, while the second hero gathered resources. I upgraded the main hero with Logistics, the "Desiccation" spell, and Tactics. I divided the Ghouls into five stacks: four with one unit each, and the fifth with all the remaining units. During the battle, the four small stacks protect the Skeleton Warriors and Spectres, and I cast "Desiccation" on the fifth stack and send it into the attack. This spell, combined with resurrection using Spectres and Necromancy, was enough to defeat all the neutrals with either no losses or minimal losses. Before attacking the second Castle, I built an Altar of Eternal Enslavement in the first Castle, and after capturing the second Castle and building a Portal in it, I teleported back to the first Castle and bought all the fallen units. After that, I easily defeated the two heroes that emerged from behind the gates and am now slowly clearing the territory behind the gates.

Hmm... I completed the entire campaign on normal difficulty. I didn't lose a single battle. 1 main hero is a mage. The second hero has logistics, resource gathering, and growth skills. (I used this strategy in all missions). Anastasia's skills are: Dark Magic: Withering, Domination. Earth: Restoration. Time Stop. Shooting. And other skills to increase Magic Power and Primary Magic Power. And Reinforcement. In the first mission, there are only Ghouls as melee units. Vampirism and Restoration skills are used on them, and then they go on the attack. The primary hero helps to resurrect them + the race skill resurrects, and that's it, everyone is defeated.

Added after 51 seconds
P.S. I never took Tactics; I completed all missions in three campaigns without it.

In the first mission, there are only Ghouls as melee units. Give them vampirism and restoration, and go on the attack. Use the primary hero to help resurrect them + the race's skill also resurrects, and that's it, everyone is doomed.

No, Tactics is powerful. Especially for a warrior hero. You leave creatures that are higher level than the enemy, cast Fear on the enemy, and slowly whittle them down, while the enemy can't respond.
And Tactics also helps Anastasia now, it's great against Orcs, as they jump across the entire field. You position your army behind rocks/obstacles and avoid the initial rush.
Anastasia has a skill that increases the speed of Ghouls; I haven't tried it yet, but if you take Improved Tactics + mass acceleration, then Ghouls will also jump across the entire field.

Well, I'm not arguing that tactics are important, but as I said, I never needed them. In 80% of cases, the opponent didn't even reach my archers. I intercepted them earlier. I think it's more useful against a human player, but you can easily handle the computer and its AI without it.
