Posts from Necromancer – “Ruler of Erathia” [Campaign 3, Mission 5]

Dancing, the knights could be defeated, and then a supporting hero could pick them up from the dwelling of ghosts. Anyway, all neutral creatures are defeated without losses. And before them, you could recruit the zombies guarding the dwelling, located north of the Necropolis.

With Isabella, all troops had to be taken away – either left in the garrison or given to another hero.

It will be difficult in the 6th Campaign with an un-upgraded Godric.

Before flying to Godric, supporting heroes could deliver reinforcements (some of them upgraded) to Marcel from the dwellings.

If there is a spiritual connection (and every Necromancer must have it), there should be no problems with mana. True, in the battle with Godric, I had enough mana even without it.

It is immediately clear that the game version is lower than 1.5. In version 1.5, Godric summons Paladins instead of Inquisitors. But instead of Archangels, he summons Angels. Starting with version 1.3, each "Raise Dead" spell reduces their health by 20%. Therefore, this spell must be used carefully. Another improvement in version 1.5 is that the enemy lands near the Knight's Castle only on the 3rd week. Therefore, in my last (successful) playthrough, I didn't see him.

Boris K, I wrote something a bit incorrectly. Of course, I took all the creatures from the dwellings, recruited them, and added everyone who could be recruited, but I didn't go right towards Isabella to recruit knights and paladins.
I took the troops from Isabella – please read my post again; I turned them into undead in Mythgard and gave them to Marcel.
I apologize, my gaming experience is still lacking – could you explain what spiritual connection is?
If Godric turns out to be bad for the 6th level, I'll have to switch.
Thank you for the comments and advice!

Dancing, I did the same as you. And due to my own oversight, I ended up with Godric on the 2nd week instead of the 1st, as I had planned. Spiritual Bond is the ability to place a necromancer's mark on any unit. When this unit is hit in battle, the necromancer recovers mana proportional to the damage. I usually place this mark on the most durable enemy unit, but you can also place it on your own. Therefore, after spending half a turn placing the mark, the necromancer receives almost "unlimited" mana. Neutrals are defeated not only without losing units but also practically without losing mana. In version 1.5, this ability is located in the center of the skill wheel among the racial abilities. In other versions, it is in the "Dark Magic" skill.

Oh, I don't know, guys, but in Heroes, everything is simple: if you didn't level up Godric in the 2nd mission (while keeping him in the castle and not building a mage tower there), you'll complete it with pleasure. :)) But if you really fought with him in the second mission, learned everything, etc.... Oh, guys, I was so frustrated. During my first playthrough of this campaign, I couldn't destroy his main troops, let alone kill his army of mages!!! :)) Well, of course, I later understood my mistake, replayed everything from the beginning, and everything became much easier. :)

Dark Lord, I leveled up Godrick to level 24 in the first campaign. In the second mission of this campaign, he was my main hero and gained another 10 levels. He had all the high-level spells of light magic. He actively used antimagic, resurrection, and, in the end, Holy Word. But even such a powerful Godrick can be defeated if you attack him in the first 1-2 weeks. When he doesn't have a large army yet, a phoenix is very strong against him. Later, as a hero, he will already have hundreds of angels and legions of archers and armored units. After all, Markel is also well-leveled up.

It very well might be, friend, I can’t know everything! :)) For example, I only found out how to split one group of troops into several detachments when I reached the second-to-last mission of the last campaign. :))

I didn't recruit Godric, but in mission 5, I almost defeated him by improvising (not counting the Death Harbingers I recruited) and the archers I gathered while clearing the area. I used Meteor Shower to eliminate his units, especially those 20 angels and paladins that appeared. On the other hand, it might not be interesting, but it's silly to level up a hero and then fight against him.

When fighting Godrick for control of Markel, you can use a trick. I took my... uh... I don't remember, maybe dragons, and placed them where the angels were supposed to appear. They didn't appear, and instead only came out at the end of the battle, like in a duel. Moreover, I don't think this can be called a bug or cheating. Did it seem to you that Godrick in this mission will be as you made him? I thought that he would simply be given some skills and abilities, according to a template invented by the developers. That is, he might gain some other skills instead of the ones you yourself leveled up for him. Is that not the case?

conrad11, of course, it's hard to fight a hero that you yourself have maxed out. But with such a Godric, it will be easier to complete the 6th campaign. He is my main hero in all missions.

eXeCuToR, Godric will be in this mission and in the 6th campaign just as you have made him.

In contrast, this is comparable to playing against a human, not a computer. Which is much more challenging and honorable.

I agree. :) I always try to buy high-level enemy heroes whenever possible. Most of them turn out to be poorly developed. It seems that their development is controlled by random chance.

My Godrick used antimagic and resurrection quite effectively at the beginning of the battle. And his Prayer is also very powerful. Only at the end of the battle did he forget all his spells except for Holy Word.

Yeah. Mine also knew Chaos Magic, and the things he did with Earth Shock... wow. And at the end, he ran out of mana... that's the only consolation.:(

Yeah. Mine also knew Chaos Magic, and he could cast Earth Shock... well, that's something. And in the end, he ran out of mana... that's the only consolation.:(

Well, mine was more diverse... As you can see, Godric's skills from the first campaign also carry over to the third? Because in the beginning of the 2nd mission (3rd campaign), he no longer had the ability to learn other skills; all the slots were occupied by the most knightly abilities:)

Mine didn't just use Shock; he also slowed/sped up enemies in large numbers, resurrected, and blinded them! I even leveled up his Spellcasting...to my detriment.:D

I don't remember which campaign he transitions into as the one you created, and which one he transitions into as a computer-generated character.:( I'm already confused by the sequential numbers.:o

In all missions, Godric carries over with all the skills he has acquired. However, in some missions, his level is reduced. This allows him to level up even further. I developed mine as a sword-wielding hero, and I only focused on light magic. As a result, he became an incredibly powerful warrior! In all missions, the main heroes of the campaigns (Markel and Zephyr) followed him, relying on him like a rock. He did all the main work, while they only leveled up by fighting neutral creatures.
