Posts from Tactics against Necromancers.

AmberSoler, as a recognized expert in Heroes of Might and Magic III, could you please provide information on whether the ability of the Mighty Gorgons affects Necropolis troops, specifically Black Knights? Regarding tactics, I completely agree – a rush strategy can be deadly for a Necromancer.

The thing is, a rush against a Necromancer doesn't always work. And what if he already has a bunch of skeletons? It's important to catch the moment when you become stronger than the Necromancer, but don't wait too long, because then there will be even more skeletons. And it's better to attack Necromancers with +3 morale, expert earth magic, and slow. After that, it depends on the situation and who you're playing as.

...does the ability of the mighty Gorgons affect Necropolis troops, in particular, Black Knights?

The Deadly Breath of Might and Magic only affects the living. Therefore, Necropolis units are immune to this ability.
And, by the way, on the topic:

- You will also not affect with the breath mummies, gargoyles, golems, and elementals.
- These units are also immune to the cloud of death of liches (if they are standing next to the target).
- "Wave of Death" does not affect only Necropolis units and mummies. "Destroy Undead" - on the contrary.
- Therefore, the spell "Raise Dead" affects not

Against Necropolis, good morale is essential, and luck wouldn't hurt. Speed, and again, speed! Plus, good offensive spells are crucial on Expert difficulty. Don't forget about slowing spells. Berserk can be used effectively, but against whom depends on the situation. I think Blind is useful. Of course, Conflux and Tower are great against undead. But if the Necromancer has the King's Robe and Cursed Armor (which is relatively easy to acquire on large maps), then it becomes a problem...

In any case, against necs you need good morale and luck wouldn't hurt. speed and once again speed! + good attacking spells at expert level. don't forget about slow. you can and should use berserk. as for who to cast it on, that depends on the circumstances. I consider blind useful. Of course Conflux and Tower rule against undead. But if the necromancer took the Cloak of the Undead King and Cursed Armor (fairly easy to collect on large maps), then you're just a clothes rack...

:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

I love how you laid everything out—you need this, you need that; it's easier to just say you need a highly leveled Hero... although you are certainly right!:rolleyes:

Regardless, you need good morale against the Necropolis, and luck wouldn't hurt. Speed, and again, speed! Plus, good attacking spells on Expert difficulty. Don't forget about slowing. You can and should use Berserk...

Berserk? Against the Necropolis? How is that possible? :)
Perhaps, you should also remember about the Medal of Vulnerability. Otherwise, it won't work...

And what about blindness? Spells that target the mind are ineffective against Necropolis creatures. This also needs to be taken into account. The best approach is to use slow + chain lightning or meteor shower to affect not only skeletons but also the rest of the enemy units.

And blindness? Spells targeting the mind do not work against Necromancers. This also needs to be taken into account. The best thing is slow+chain lightning or meteor shower, so as to hit not only the skeletons, but others as well.

Yesterday, a friend and I were sitting and discussing tactics against a Necromancer who had assembled the Cloak of the Undead and gathered somewhere around 20 000 Liches; we considered humans (well, as an opposing force) and came to the conclusion that even such a battle can be won if all your skills are 99, then you can summon earth elementals, but for this, you need to be an expert in earth and air at minimum, and bring it to the point... that when you finally kill the liches, you need to restore at least one of your own units... but in reality, we will check today with real armies and real magic!... tomorrow I will report the results; oh yes, the Necromancer presumably has skills around 40...

I apologize, I forgot. Blindness doesn't affect the undead. What about a Berserker? I've forgotten a lot. I need to go play... :D :D
A heavily upgraded hero is a good thing! :)

Humans have an advantage when playing against Necromancers: diplomacy + leadership. I've experienced it firsthand. When 500 griffons join the human army, it's a formidable force. And they weren't the only ones.

Well, then it's not an advantage, but rather some compensation for "Necromancy"... After all, Necromancers can "recruit" hundreds of skeletons during a game... So, it simply balances things out... :)

Sometimes it does. Diplomacy can be much more effective. That's why it's important to use it to the fullest against the Necropolis. By the way, it will also prevent them from creating skeletons.

It depends. Sometimes diplomacy yields much more. And that's why it's important to use it to the fullest against Necropolis. By the way, it also prevents them from creating skeletons.

Exactly - "sometimes."

You know, personally, I find a steady increase in troops (necromancy) more effective than a random one - lucky/unlucky (diplomacy). The first is always available, the second is much less frequent, although it can be very significant, but you can't plan for it and rely on it. And therefore - it loses to the first. This is about tactics...

Diplomacy really isn't a viable option, especially on large maps with strong monsters. I remember once, in just one month, I raised the level of my Liches to 50,000, and no matter who joined me, it wouldn't make a difference.

Yeah... diplomacy isn't always effective, but when it works, it's amazing! When I was playing as Necropolis, 76 Black Knights joined me through diplomacy... :) I finally got tired of this campaign:D
