Run around the enemy in circles and deal normal damage with cavalry.

That is, if you can run around and attack the enemy =)))))

It's very simple: hit him from one side, then don't stand still and hit him from the other side, and so on.

It's very simple: attack him from two sides, and then don't stand still; attack from the other side, and so on.

But this doesn't always work – firstly, the terrain can be terrible, and secondly, they are two-cell units, and it's easy to trap them.
But in general, it all depends on skill.

Why did you create a thread comparing Castle vs. Necropolis? After all, Inferno is the counterpart to Castle, and they should be compared... angels versus demons, and so on. Although, even here, the Knights are similar, and the Monks are similar to the Liches... and in Inferno, the Ifrits are similar to the Djinns. P.S. In principle, you can just compare them, rather than contrast the factions. P.P.S. Sorry for the off-topic.

If it’s a random map, then everything depends on His Majesty, the Map Generator :D. On average, in most cases, the larger the map, the better the chances for the Necromancer due to the skeletons. But! this doesn’t apply to all large maps! Similarly, it can generate a large number of griffons, and then the Necromancer with his 1-1.5k skeletons by week 4-5 will have a very bad time against approximately 20 archangels. In addition, the Humans will have the advantage of the first turn, and if you play as the hero Turis (specializing in horses, with the Tactics skill), you can use horses to “stick” liches, dealing bonus damage of about 60-70% of their attack, and then nothing will prevent the Humans from clustering together, protecting the archers. Then the Necromancer’s song is over, because the vampires will be defeated in 2 turns by the archangels forever)). And on top of the vampire corpses (which are probably double corpses by now, because even when they are alive, they are still considered dead :D), some halberdiers will appear, and then no one will be resurrected anymore. So, it still depends on the player’s skill.

This is the most important thing in the entire game!!! Plus, there's also randomness and luck, so arguments are pointless.

On SoD, and especially if the map is big, Necro will be much stronger. True, Castle also has advantages — it's more mobile (thanks to the Stables and not being stuck gathering skeletons), so there's a chance that a good player playing this town will eat up much more of the good stuff and come to Necro early (on the 2nd or 3rd week) with high stats, magic, and troops picked up from conservatories and hives. Also, Castle has a green respawn, which is much richer than Necro's (especially if he spawned in the Dungeon). And then there's the upgrade of Angels from conservatories to Archangels. But overall, of course, if Necro isn't cut down by restrictions, they are much stronger than Castle.

2 Gynnar:
The Necromancer's bonus can definitely be used by the Castle as well.

-the converter normally increases the strength of skeletons. We build 1-1-1, then 1-1-2 to build the amplifier.
I apologize, but isn't it like this: 1-1-1 Academy, 1-1-2 amplifier?

Yeah, it does! And on the player themselves. Although, if a Necromancer manages to control a Berserk, even Archangels with resurrection won't be able to help.

I think that Necromancers are stronger.

Necropolis.

If you have the Amulet of the Necromancer and the Necromancy skill:
Level 1 (Skeletons are resurrected)
Level 2 (Zombies are resurrected)
Level 3 (Liches are resurrected)
.
No, let's not go overboard – such things are usually prohibited:smile21:

Based on most opinions, the outcome of the battle will depend (mainly) on:
-the number of Vampire Lords;
-the number of Skeletons;
-respawn conditions;
+various interesting random events: Berserk, Sphere of Vulnerability, etc.
In total: on a large map, the Necropolis will likely gather a lot of Skeletons and Vampires, so victory is more likely for them.
On a small map, most likely, on the 2nd or 3rd week, Valkyrie will arrive and shoot them all down:(

P.S. But the way the Necropolis can mess things up on a small map with its "smokestack" is something else!!!:D

Well, I'm not sure. I probably wouldn't agree with many and would still vote for the Castle. Of course, the Necropolis has an advantage – vampire lords, but overall, the Castle is clearly superior. All creatures in the Castle are "useful," and that's undeniable. My answer is: CASTLE!

Listen up!!!!
Does Berserk work against the undead?
If so, you can use their armies of liches and skeletons against them.
The problem is that the Fortress doesn't have Berserk in its guild,
But before the decisive battle, you can capture a few others and learn it there)))))
