In HotA, Necropolis with Galthran is far from a weak faction, especially with experience. Ask Forrest, who in a game with me used them to break ГО on Jebus Cross with 15 gold on day 117 :)

How is that possible?

This is easily possible. The spell Raise Dead, mana, and over the first six days you can farm, sacrifice leftover monsters, buy more skeletons, and the Dragons will fall. =)
Using the rest of the army as meat.

How is that possible?

WishmasteR, sorry for going off-topic, but how long ago was it that he played this game? I somehow thought Forest wasn't playing anymore. I would like to watch his games.

I still think it's not worth comparing SoD and VT. Tolyan even killed ГО on 115 playing as a Necromancer Castle, but that is a characteristic of the template, as well as +1 HP for skeletons in VT and troop experience.

In SoD, personally, I don't see any "mandatory" requirement for upgrading necromancers, unless it's Galtran, obviously. The example from a beginner's game only shows that both players chose such a gameplay strategy, not that it was the best choice in that situation. Damn, I'm getting confused with my commas already).

On turn 115, the opponent wrote that there was no point in continuing the game...

Thanks for the game!!!

We spent a long and painful time choosing restarts, had to recreate several times due to the starting level.
But the result was pleasant - 2 external dwellings of minotaurs near the castle, cleared by week 1. Of course, the pace was lost; I gave up on building up, placed minotaurs with the portal and started buying out 2 striking stacks - minotaurs and troglodytes. On 121 in the swamp I took the Griffin Conservatory 2. Since I couldn't check how many, I just pulled everything I could just in case. Alas, but almost without losses.
On 124 I took the General secondary skill Inferno underground, I see a fast passage to the opponent, it's far to drag into the treasure zone and who knows what's there, and going from the other secondary skill from swamp to snow also makes no sense. I decided to try my luck in battle!
On 126 I caught a lich with a behemoth, went along the path to the castle.
127 - Tyraxor attacks in the field, having 2 ranged stacks of 21 elves and 15 orcs, as well as a significant speed advantage (terrain + necklace). But there are 7 birds, and about 27 wolves, no striking stack, so despite the unpleasant shelling, I eliminated the Barbarian.
Thanks for the game!
