What a pity. It would be great if you could block the summoning calls, so everyone would be spamming Zoltans against the Orcs.

I want to say that in the campaign for Arantir, I leveled up a special ability, i.e., "Scream of Terror," and in combination with powerful items (Staff of the Damned, Cloak of Deadly Shadow, Ring of Sinners, and whatever else), the enemy after the scream almost always ended up with negative stats, losing about 5-6 points. P.S. By the way, it's spelled Pyrokinesis.

I want to say that in the campaign for Arantir, I upgraded the special ability, i.e., "Scream of Terror," and in combination with powerful items (Staff of the Damned, Cloak of Deadly Shadow, Ring of Sinners, and whatever else), after the scream, the enemy almost always ended up with negative morale, by about 5-6 points.
In one of my playthroughs, I also decided to develop Arantir's Super Skill – it didn't impress me. The low morale effect didn't help much – "Banish" and berserkers with the "Subjugate" skill were the deciding factors.

Level 34; but I also completed it with level 30 without the Super Skill, so I didn't feel any particular effect, as I wrote above.

So, morale should be boosted not only through commands but also with artwork; otherwise, there will be no effect. -6 to morale is, in my opinion, a lot. I've always dreamed of leveling up to get this super ability, but I can't seem to manage it. My computer always lets me down.

You've lost a bit ;)

You need to boost morale not only with shouts but also with artifacts, otherwise there will be no effect.
Well, I had this super shout (-6 to morale) and the corresponding artifacts (besides the "Embrace of Death" set, also the "Ring of Broken Spirit" and the "Helmet of Chaos") - I didn't notice any particular difference. P.S. Since these artifacts themselves already provide a good bonus to reducing the enemy's morale.

In my opinion, the Necromancer's super ability isn't that powerful. If a Necromancer is going to invest in it, there are definitely two factions that benefit more from boosting Defense: Haven and Dwarves, maybe even Orcs (but that's a different story)...
The thing is, -6 to Defense isn't hard to overcome with the Leadership skill and a simple artifact like the Lion's Collar...Personally, when I play as Haven in a long game, collecting the Lion set isn't that difficult.)))
Haven's special abilities are much better, in my opinion...the Watchtower ability allows units to live for a very long time!

Yes, have you tried using it after casting Banshee's Wail? I suggest you try it – you won't be disappointed. It quickly eliminates all nearby enemies. Even with positive morale, the damage is excellent, and if you also use Scar-Issa... Yes, it's every Necromancer's dream.

I would like to see how much damage they deal! It would also be great if there were astral dragons nearby to make life easier for the banshees!

And it wouldn't be bad to have some rotten zombies nearby.

By the time these feathered freaks crawl over, there won’t be an army left))))) It’s a pity that the Necromancer doesn’t have teleportation; it would be great to have zombies there.

By the time these feathered creatures crawl up, there will be nothing left of the army))))) It's a pity that Necromancers don't have teleportation; it would be great to have zombies there.
With the mod that replaces zombies with mummies, it becomes much more interesting (for example, the jump ability appears, like with demons), and the gameplay becomes more dynamic.
Lately, I like Naadir and Raven more (although Raven isn't very good, mainly because of the lack of Summoning).
And regarding "Scream of Terror," there's not much point in upgrading it; in general, all special abilities are like that – you wait and wait... and when they finally appear, you just sit there with a sour face and think, "and that's it?"

Guys!
At least take a look at what you're writing!
First of all, no skilled player will let you level up to such a high level; at most, they'll let you reach level 20, and you're unlikely to find any decent artifacts!
The faster you reach the hero, the fewer chances they have; I usually play on medium-sized maps with Orson or Kaspar. One has almost unbeatable zombies, and the other has both a tent and a ballista!:smile49:

The Warlock and the Necromancer are awesome! Also, you should always prioritize attack, tactics, and defense – you won't regret it. And teleportation is completely unnecessary.

...sometimes you can agree on playing until a certain month, I usually play until the beginning of the 4th month with Mish-gan, but if it's a hot seat game, it varies...so you can level up completely))Especially on a map of the land of outcasts!
