P.S. PhysMig says that scorpians can't inflict paralysis with the red spell, is this a bug or some kind of glitch?

In my opinion, this is a mistake by PhysMig.
Even with the spell, all special creature abilities should work, such as: poison for monarchs, paralysis for scorpions, petrification for medusas, or breath of death for gorgons. Only resurrection doesn't work for archons (logically, it's a 4th-level spell), and I'm not sure about Pit Lords.

Yeah. IMO, Necropolis is viable on all XL maps, Jebel, and Diamond. The rest of the map types can be ruled out.
Also, Balance, where Necropolis doesn't look any worse than on XL+U. Home territory, many small guards, and the map's overall weakness, which makes Necropolis more valuable.

Balance is another map where Necropolis doesn't look worse than on HL+U. Home territory, many small guards, and a lack of template variety, which increases the value of Necropolis.
On Balance, there's a home town, which isn't particularly useful for Necropolis, but it significantly helps other factions.

Also, on Balance, it's difficult to level up your hero; there's little experience on the map, and Necropolis spends 3 levels on Necromancy.

28.10.2013 Juristis (red, Conflux, random, Grindan, Wokia) def leosnow (blue, Castle, Valeska, Gunnar) 2sm4d(3) 127
Medium roads, lots of external dwellings (Phoenixes, Psychic Elementals, 2 Fire Elementals, Earth Elementals and Faerie Dragons). Decided to necromancy farm, on week 1 made 120 skeletons, took 2 external dwellings of Fire Elementals, 3 Skeleton Transformers and a Dwarf Cottage level 15, didn't have enough mercury for Birds, placed Psychic Elementals in Citadel. On week 2 took a secondary Castle player, scouted the route to the opponent, necro farmed a bit more, built Birds, captured their external dwelling, upgraded Air Elementals, Water Elementals and Fire Elementals. On day 127 took the opponent's main. Thanks for the game!
Group I
Confirmed. Didn't build Cavalry on week 1, only on week 2, but had a native secondary hero. "Got lost" somewhere behind the secondary, although being at home with my army wouldn't have saved me. Thanks for the game and your time.

Resurrection doesn't work on pit lords; I learned this the hard way in this game :D. By the way, petrification by medusas also doesn't seem to work; I'll go check. Checked – it works.

Group B
29.10.2013 Mizrael(red, Castle, Caitlin, Crag Hack) def RoninHW(blue, Rampart, Kyrre, Lacus) 8mm6a 132

We did a full restart, two external dwellings of pokemons failed to spawn, one Griffin Conservatory, built cavalry with griffins at the Citadel. At first I started leveling Tiraxore, but then Crag showed up... On the first week I managed to take a +6 sword from the goblins and it took off, with that attack Crag wiped out everything in his path. The roads turned out to be extremely long; on week 2 I ran to the computer and not even to my own: pink dungeon. Squashed it, sent Crag back home for the Nagas and the Griffin Conservatory, while scouts along the chain took the Dragon Fly Hives. I took the Conservatory for 2 angels, meanwhile I took the tower from my own computer and broke the nearby Naga dwelling. Ufretin dug around in the snow with 3 cavalry, found Mephala in a prison, and she cleared a couple of crypts. In the end, angels in the castle stood at 127. And then on 131 the opponent showed up with a small army, Crag immediately rushed out to meet him, while the main force took the Naga dwelling at home. The blues took the Dragon Fly Hive and the Naga dwelling, which Crag planned to clear on his next turn, which upset him and he attacked with 5 angels and backup. The opponent decided to surrender, thanks for the game.

29.10.2013 Maretti (red, necro, clavius) def cuc9ctblu (blue, fortress, tazar, jabarkas) 6lm10a 133

All 6 restarts used and I got straker and ufretin in tavern, so start was hard. But it didnt take long to get going and then it was chokolade all the way. 16 angels from 5 cons, wings, 30 plus wyvs, hh, air book, boots and gloves, perfect skills on clavius. Thanks for playing.
confirm. Got a crappy layout. On the plus side, an external dwelling of bulls at home, but otherwise completely empty. Found only a single Griffin Conservatory all game. With such an army it's hard to do anything against 1100 skeletons and 16 angels on day 133, especially with 29 defense. Thanks for the game.

29.10.2013 Mizrael(red, Castle, Caitlin, Crag Hack) def RoninHW(blue, Rampart, Kyrre, Lacus) 8mm6a 132

We restarted completely. Two Pokémon external dwellings and one Griffin Conservatory failed to surrender, I built horses with griffins in the Citadel. Initially I started leveling Tyraxor, but Crag came... On the first week I managed to snatch a +6 sword from the wasps and it took off—with that attack Crag wrecked everything in his path. The roads turned out to be extremely long; by week 2 I reached the computer, but not my own one: a pink dungeon. I squashed him, sent Crag back home for the Naga Bank and the Griffin Conservatory, while scouts along the chain picked up the Dragon Fly Hives. I took the Griffin Conservatory for 2 angels, and along the way I finally captured my own computer's Tower and broke the nearby Naga Bank. Ufretin dug around in the snow with 3 horses, found Mephala in a prison, and she cleared a couple of crypts. In the end, angels stood in the Castle at 127. And then on 131 the opponent appeared with a small army—Crag immediately charged out to meet him head-on, while the economy took the Naga Bank at home. The blue player took the Dragon Fly Hive and the Naga Bank that Crag planned to clear next turn, which upset him, and he attacked with 5 angels and backup dancers. The opponent decided to surrender, thanks for the game.
Average but functional layout, except the exposed Griffin Conservatories on the border, far away along roadless terrain. There were tough shooter blocks, so I immediately leveled two heroes—probably for nothing; neither got Mass Magic. The key moment was on 125, when morale-boosted Minotaurs killed a two-week growth of Elves and Archmagi cut down 3 horses and a Wyvern (a tough fight, but could have been controlled better). Against a beautiful Crag in skilled hands, it was already unwinnable.
Thanks for the game!

Pit Lords, Archangels, and Djinns don't cast spells because it's specifically a cast, not an ability. As for abilities, it's strange. Some, like blindness and weakness, don't work, while others, like paralysis or petrification, do work :smile32:

But why does the Haven faction work then? It's also a cast.

Just like with Ashes of the Avadh. In principle, I think Nival Interactive simply forgot about it.

This is a completely different situation. Here, the cast happens on its own; no one is casting it intentionally. But logically, it shouldn't be there either.

Wouldn't it be worth looking for blindness or weakness among the spells (in the book)? :)
As for the alliance and armor, it's just a well-known bug that, in this form, at least provides some counter to the consistently overpowered suppression sphere.

Seriously, everywhere you look, there are just bugs. They need to remake the game so that it's free of bugs, imbalances, and so on.

Group F 30.10.2013 Graf_Bananov(blue Swamp, Tazar) def Lem(red Rampart, Kir) 236 8mm6a We fought for a long time. I wanted to finish the game in the fourth week, but my opponent bought himself out (he left almost no troops – only 12 Vivs). He surrendered heavily; he had 4 outer bulls, and I took 2 in the first week, but didn't manage to reach him by the fourth. That is, there was no shortage of troops; all the meat was top-notch. Looking at the tavern, I saw that my opponent had the least amount of money (apparently, he spent it all on my troops after I captured two castles), so I checked if I could make it with 2 DDs, FB, and an Elik (I assembled one on turn 235, building a port in castle number 5), a red sphere, nothing worthwhile for stats, dragon scales, and a shield +5 defense (and this is after 2 drownings, one of which was maxed); my opponent has stats 10 higher, but his troops are weak. I have up to 70 Lizards, 70 Gorgons, 50 Vivs, 30 Vasas, 9 Chaos Hydras, 16 Angels, 16 Serpent Riders against 50 Elves, 20 Unicorns, 30 Dryads, 22 Vivs, single Pegasi. Thanks for the game!
