He performed the ritual of transformation himself, rather than being forcibly raised by a Necromancer.

But what's the difference?

As far as I know, it's impossible to perform this ritual on oneself alone.

Well, before that, Giovanni was just a regular guy, and becoming a vampire is probably what Ples was referring to.

I think a vampire can't be a full-fledged necromancer, but nevertheless, Giovanni didn't need any support.

According to the description of the same vampires from the sixth installment, becoming a vampire is quite an honor for a Necromancer, but the elements of the ritual described differ from what Markel performed (as it doesn't resemble a gift from Ashi in any way). And yes, Giovanni was a human who was aware of his actions and became a vampire of his own free will, while still alive. Nicholas, however...

Unfortunately, I didn't have the opportunity to play the sixth installment, but according to the descriptions in the fifth, it is an honor for a Necromancer to become the master of a Lich or a Dark Dragon (I have a pirated version, so the names may be inaccurate, but I think you understand who I'm talking about). Let's assume that Markel really performed an "economical version" of the resurrection ritual and raised Nicholas as a simple vampire, but explain to me what difference does it make whether it was of his own free will or by force?

plus, the plot of the sixth installment takes place before the plot of the fifth, so maybe at that time the Necromancers had different priorities

Think about it yourself. Relative harmony or a clash of souls?

I still don't understand. By the way, in the description of higher vampires in Heroes of Might and Magic V, it says something like "some necromancers draw upon power by taking the form of higher vampires, eternally young, etc...." So, it turns out that a vampire is like the next stage of development for a necromancer, which means Nicholas should be stronger than Markel... Maybe there are "vampire soldiers" and "vampire necromancers," or something like that?

I think it's all highly subjective and relative. There's no point in dwelling on every single word; it will only confuse you further.

and raised Nicholas as a mere vampire

A MERE vampire? He searched for, plundered, and destroyed three cities of mages, killed the First in the Circle of the Silver League, and imprisoned the Duke of Unicorn, all to raise this mere vampire.

If necromancers go to such lengths to raise every mere vampire, then I'm really worried about Ashan.

HOW to play as a "simple" vampire, if that's what you prefer.

Just a simple vampire? He searched for and plundered four great artifacts, raided and destroyed three cities of mages, killed the First in the Circle of the Silver League, and imprisoned the Duke of Unicorns, all to raise this simple vampire.

If Necromancers go to such lengths to raise every simple vampire, then I'm really worried about Aschan.
Well, firstly, he wouldn't have done all this without Isabelle, and secondly, by "simple vampire" I meant that Nicholas didn't have the same power as, say, Giovanni. Markel didn't give him such power, so he couldn't resist Markel controlling his mind, as he does with the mind of any simple vampire. He wouldn't have been able to influence Giovanni in the same way. Although you're right, after what he did to the elven kingdom, you can't call him weak anymore; he's more of an average character. Markel only gave him the powers he needed as a commander, while still leaving him as a puppet, incapable of resisting him.

It would be more correct to say "incomplete" vampire.

Although, if Nicholas could suddenly rebel, he would kill Markel, because, as a commander, Nicholas is stronger. There's no way around mind control here; Markel had no other options

Although, if Nicholas could somehow rebel, he would kill Marcus, because as a commander, Nicholas is stronger. Here, mind control is essential; Marcus had no other options.
Well, that's obvious. It's the same as comparing a mage and a knight if the mage didn't use magic. And even without mind control, Nicholas would still lose to Marcus with that much magic.

Even without mana control, Nicholas would have lost to Marcel with such powerful magic.
I disagree; magic requires mana, and even Marcel doesn't have an infinite supply. If both Marcel and Nicholas have a large number of troops, Nicholas would win due to his attack and defense. It would be interesting to watch their battle.
