:mad: Before, you could move mountains with Necropolis because the dead would rise, but now??? No.

previously, Necromancers had the weakest troops in the game, but now they have some of the strongest.
so, even now, you can still achieve great things.

Well, for now, I've heavily invested in Blood magic. I'll follow this path and then, for comparison, I'll level up in Tears... But in the thread you mentioned, there's more theory than practice... by the time you cast everything that's mentioned there, your troops will be destroyed. The game starts immediately, and you need to destroy the enemy right away; whoever does it first wins. And while you're summoning elementals, giving Stone Skin, etc., your troops will be killed. Besides, I believe that each battle is unique, and you can't set a rule for how to fight! For example, in Heroes 5, when playing duels with small armies, the most important thing is which hero goes first. If it's a mage, they can cast Meteor Shower, and in 50% of cases, with incorrect troop placement, the game ends! Perhaps Sacrifice is effective in long battles, but in the average scenario, all battles last 2-3 turns, or even less.

The practice is in the screenshots. Stone Skin is not needed for the Necromancer mage at all; if you level up the Necromancer correctly, you might change your opinion about the Sacrifice skill. Personally, I think it's overpowered for the Necromancer subclass, and I haven't lost with it yet; maybe I just had easy opponents.

Guys, help me with a battle tactic for the Necropolis duel!
I can't seem to improve... Some 13-year-old girl playing as Inferno completely crushed me, like a god crushing a turtle, 5 times over! There was simply nothing I could do to counter the Gates of Shio: with only one Unholy Word (seriously, just one per battle, those jerks couldn't give me more), I couldn't really do much. And that octopus-like creature, apart from its third skill, has no other advantages.
I can't win against humans either; those damn Vestals, fireballs under their skirts...
Share your secrets, please, how do you manage in duels? Otherwise, I'm going to have a nervous breakdown!
P.S.: And why are everyone so eager to start by attacking ghosts? Do they know something I don't? =)<

Ghosts can resurrect allies, and the same spell kills neighboring enemies.
Based on my experience with Heroes 6, Necropolis is good at defense, so it makes sense to take a warrior hero, give him Counterstrike 3, and go for it.

What’s the point of a counterattack when you can just shield your liches and spiderlings? That’s all there is to it. Use a sacrifice on the ghosts, and let them attack the ghosts as much as they want. And in scenarios, Inferno only suffers losses, while Necropolis can practically eliminate any neutral creatures without any losses.

How can you not say that he's a cheater? How did he know that I had leveled up something that was unpleasant for him in terms of magic?

If a player has scouting skills developed, they see not only the number of troops but also the skills and magic of the opposing hero.
So, there's no cheating involved.

Hey, I have a couple of questions. Help, please! 1. How do the Undead Warrior's tears work? (The ultimate ability seems to be about resurrecting, or am I misunderstanding it?) 2. How can an Undead Mage counter a Sanctuary Mage (a strong AI opponent)? 3. Which is stronger, a Mage or a Warrior? I really like the Undead Warrior; he's just awesome. He easily defeats Orcs, Fortress units, and other Undead, and I didn't have many problems with Sanctuary (except with Spirits).

3-Mage or warrior, who is stronger???

I would choose the warrior, to be honest. After all, Necropolis, just like before, is a defensive faction, so warrior-specific skills like counterattack 3 will be useful.

It's best to read the manual to understand how Tears work. Whether a Mage or a Warrior will be stronger depends on the opponent.

Russian-Human. I don't know, I have a habit of calling them that since Heroes 3. I've infected all my friends with it:D

Here's how it works: the unit dies and then partially resurrects (automatically). In previous versions of the game, there were definitely bugs with displaying such units.
