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

I agree with Alan, the Necropolis campaign is the easiest! And the fifth mission isn't the most difficult in the campaign. I didn't even build castles; my Phoenix just wiped them all out, leaving them no hope! Use summoning magic; you're playing as a Necromancer!

without any phoenixes, there are already too many troops for Markel.

And I managed to defeat everyone with the help of phantoms (and a berserker helped "a little").

I don't remember; it's too easy in this campaign, nothing challenging.

Well, I don't know where you had an overabundance of something; maybe you went around and killed a lot of things. For example, I didn't explore even half of the map, so there wouldn't be much point in having a lot of unbuilt castles. So, I finished it very quickly, although I don't remember exactly how long it took.

Yes, I was talking about the entire campaign. And I completed the mission about two weeks before it ended.

and is there also a time limit? I wasn't told anything. I remembered about my army: I had 12 Death Knights, which joined, 6 vampires, a small number of zombies, and about 150 skeleton archers. While all the infantry was busy with the phoenix, the archers were taking out the Death Knights, and I was successfully resurrecting them. Also, the Rakshasa's suggestion helped.

Yeah, Godric wants to destroy the artifact, and he can only do it during a specific lunar phase.

Oh! I didn't know that! I probably defeated him too quickly. I'll check if I have a save file; I can even tell you the date.

I found it. I defeated him in the third week. A small correction: I had 300 skeleton archers and 9 liches.

Personally, I completed this mission as follows: Carefully, picking up all the Necropolis creatures, I cleared the path to Isabelle. Then I led her to the Necropolis castle. With Markel, I rescued Frida and headed to Mythgard. By the way, I recommend doing all this quite quickly, as Isabelle starts sending her army to Godric, so we turn all the humans into undead, and they won't leave. On the way, Angels attack. We defeat them (there shouldn't be any major problems). We gather an army in Mythgard and fly to Godric. His army isn't very strong. By the way, the orange hero calms down for a long time if he captures a human city.

I immediately sent Isabel's army to the city, and they won't be leaving anytime soon. By the way, in the Inferno campaign, when the elves were scattering, I also kept them in the cities. Under the castle, so to speak ;)

This mission turned out to be surprisingly easy. The orange heroes were defeated without any problems. As for Godric, he needs to be overwhelmed with a large army, ideally with at least 1,500 skeletal archers, about 30 messengers, and at least 15 dragons, and the more of the rest, the better. It's also a good idea to have an additional hero collect treasure chests by sea, as there's always a shortage of money.

As soon as I got the wings, I flew straight to Godric. He was still quite weak, with only about 5 Titans and the rest proportionally... I used a kind of poison spell that hits several units at once. I poisoned them all, and they slowly died. I raised Shadows with magic. It was also cool that Godric sped up his own units, so they moved more often – and consequently, were poisoned more often. That's how it happened.

I just can't seem to turn people into undead, even though I have the corresponding structure built in the Necropolis castle! Maybe I haven't learned a certain spell? I don't want to replay the entire Necromancer campaign again, I've already replayed it once to develop my magic skills for "Mind Lord," but I still haven't learned how to sway Titans or anyone else to my side... People, please don't get angry, just tell me what the mistake is? Added after 3 minutes And I still don't understand what the point of dragons is. Godric sits in the castle behind the walls, and the dragons just die from the attacks of mages and others... Added after 1 hour 15 minutes I did it! First, I infected everyone with the plague (in three turns), and then I just raised the dead, and that's it... After defeating all the mages and genies with the Titans (they died on their own turns little by little), Godric had a "human" army, and I infected them with the plague too... Before starting the "Warlock" campaign, I'll read all the posts about all the missions, and then I'll start!

Regarding Isabel losing units to Godric, I simply resolved it like this: let's say griffins left – I loaded an autosave, placed the griffins in the castle, and in the end, on the designated day, they told me that the griffins had flown away, but in reality, they were all still in the castle!
And I won the last battle simply by using resurrection! By the way, those who haven't noticed, patch 1.3 reduces the unit's health by 20% for each cast!
