Posts from Your strategy for playing as Necropolis.

By "late game," I mean a prolonged game... initially, there's not enough money to build up an army, but this is temporary... once we deal with the buildings, we start having enough money for everything, and then it's like a snowball effect... a bigger army -> we attack neutrals more often -> the army grows even more -> we attack neutrals even more often -> the hero's level increases -> dark energy increases, and so on, all in order to capture mines, gold, and so on... considering that the mines provide resources that are no longer needed. We can sell them and use the money to buy creature upgrades and save some for a rainy day)))))))) Well, and the longer we prolong the game, the bigger the snowball effect becomes.

Yes, I always have enough money to develop the economy and buy troops, or I just buy Vampire Specters and Skeleton Archers, and I'll buy Liches later in the week! I play on Veteran or Hero difficulty (there are some minor problems, but still). Summoning magic isn't very useful in my opinion, because the Ring of Teleportation appeared, and it causes a lot of trouble!

I can't imagine how an opponent would come across a bunch of neutrals at the beginning, suffering huge losses in each battle, and losing a couple of weeks on the road (during this time, we certainly wouldn't just sit around, but at least gather some troops). Why are they so afraid of him at the beginning? Let him come – for goodness sake!

My first building strategy is: if there's a tavern, build a town hall; if not, build a tavern, then a town hall. Next, build troops and develop the economy as building options become available (with priority given to the economy). In the first week, I try to build a stronghold. I try to build vampires and liches as quickly as possible. Then, I engage in active battles with living units to gain experience – I send vampires into the thick of the enemy, and then I mass-kill the enemies clustered around the vampire with liches, using mass plague and vampire resurrection whenever possible (if they don't resurrect themselves).

I prefer Nadir because of the ghosts of killed enemies.
