Posts from How do I create a lot of skeletons?

Hey everyone, could you please explain how to create a large army of skeletons (so that hundreds of them are generated)? I've always played as Fortress, but after a few battles with a Necromancer friend, I realized that all those years spent training were for nothing.

Dear friends, please explain how to create a large army of skeletons (so that hundreds of them are generated)?
I've been playing only with the Castle faction all my life, and after a few battles with a Necromancer friend, I realized that all those years spent training were in vain.

Today, there are probably solar flares. One person is asking "how to play over a local network?", and the other is asking "how to create a large army of skeletons?".

kill monsters; if you see a group of weaklings, wait until they multiply (unless they are guarding something important); if there are peasant huts and other free, numerous weaklings, you need to bring them to the city. Otherwise, just fight. This is a well-known truth, and I agree with Andrei that the question is rather silly, especially since he could have asked his Necromancer friend how to act; I think he would explain.

Skeletons are like rabbits. Once you get the hang of it :D
So, everyone knows this, but just in case. We choose Galthran, also known as Gosha, as our starting hero. On the first day, we build a skeleton transformer, transform the excess units from the left (or right?) hero, and basically all the units we can get for free. We carefully level up Gosha's necromancy skill. We also level up one or two more necromancers. We eliminate all the weak infantry-type neutrals, avoid ranged units in the early days, and carefully cherish imps. In battle, we use single zombie/skeleton units as bait. We protect the main skeleton stack like a virgin. And if Gosha is offered Logistics, we don't refuse.
Remember, time works in Necropolis's favor!

Thanks, kind people! As I said, I've never played as Necropolis. My friend, may he fail, doesn't even bother, and why would he? He'd rather win another crate of beer from me.
Let me rephrase the question: which deity should I light a candle to so that 300 skeletons respawn every day?

No candle needed. It's clear what's up with your friend: Cloak of the Undead King.
Get yourself the Cloak of the Undead King and
Death will spread its wings behind your back

Guys, the Cloak of the Undead King in the hands of the Necromancer no longer raises skeletons )
maybe it has some kind of awesome cheat?

It is known even to children whom the Cloak of the Undead King raises and under what conditions.
But you shouldn't think of your opponent as a possible cheater without having played against them even once.
Sorry for the harshness.

Don't worry about it, Avern :) you were, on the contrary, very polite. I must have unfairly assumed cheating :) but the number in the author's phrase made me wary:
"let me put the question more clearly: which deity should I light a candle to so that skeletons respawn at 300 per day?"
300 per day, even with the Cloak of the Undead King, is no easy task to grind out :) wouldn't you agree?
there's another hypothesis: the author's "fear has big eyes" and he's confusing 100 skeletons with three hundred :)

To be honest, I'm not a fan of necromancy. Although I admit it's an effective method of warfare. For example, when playing as Fortress and a Necromancer visits the tavern, he manages to gather 70-100 skeletons within a week. This is a significant addition to the army and, at the very least, allows you to open a second front.

"Let me rephrase the question: to which deity should I light a candle so that 300 skeletons respawn every day?"

Obviously: to a demonic one :)

A set of artifacts for necromancy, a couple of enhancers (if allowed), and a couple of imps – and there you have a full legion of skeletons :)

I Graal postavit.

Yeah, it seems pretty straightforward.
1 - Expert in Magic.
2 - Black Magic Amplifier.
3 - Artifacts for a Necromancer.
4 - You can take a hero that fits.
Let's go and crush fairies and other weaklings:smile01:

I was playing as Necropolis, with a Tantrum. In one of the Dungeons, I encountered a Diplomat expert. Plus, I found some suitable artifacts. That was quite a game! The skeletons multiplied like rabbits, and the stack grew to a fantastic size.

I didn't quite understand the necromancy thing:
I attacked various neutral units with a hero who has expert-level necromancy and a black magic enhancer, just out of curiosity, expecting to raise almost half of their corpses as skeletons, but I only managed to raise 1/10 to 1/5 of them. I don't understand why.
