Poll Question:
Hmmm... Necro or Ressur

Hi. Was wandering if Necromancy is better or Ressurection is better. They do make units alive...

I voted necromancy. I allways prefer death castle over life castle, and furthemore, ressurection cannot increase your army over the one you had prior to a battle, but necromancy can give you quite a boost. Of course, this depends of the situation. If you have a really tough battle with unavoidable looses, then ressurection can give you back MANY units lost during that battle. Wen combat is simple, necromancy gives you lots and lots of nasty vampires without you loosing any unit.

Necromancy is better than Ressurection.  With Necromancy you can quickly create an army of Vamps.

I suppose that you will hire undeads (for Necromancy) and summon demons.

Well I would go for necromancy only if my aligment is death, in the other way, I don't want to lose my good morale, do I? But necromancy is a very good skill, especially when you raise vamps
Resurrection is also a good one, but it help for me only if I have Expert or more, because the stuff they raise at Basic or Advanced rarely help in the next battles...

Res or Necro

I agree with Medusa, however the same can be said about the Necro.

Basic only gets skellies, and ghosts aren't much of an improvement.

You gotta go for the gold and get to Vampires right away.

Res is good in it's own right (if I'm playing Life, I try to get a Cardinal to get the extra res).

I guess it depends on which side of the board you're playing.

I would pick tactis, because it affects my entire army. Lidership, offence, deffence and tactis are very good skills, and any hero should have them. Just think about the speed and morale increase.

Depends on the scenario/campaign. If theres gonna be lots of 1-on-1 battles then it's combat. If you're gathering a big army then tactics wins, because it gives it's bonus to the whole army.

Why not tactics AND Combat? I would develop only the Combat and Magic Resistance from the combat skills, and the rest goes into tactics. If your hero is tactician only, then he or she'll be the first target in a battle.
And the General class gives additional +1 morale that affect the heroes besides the army. Tactics skills affect only the army (not the heroes).

I agree with Wizard.

I always try to give my heroes Combat, no matter their original class, since combat makes the last longer. If you only have Tactics, then you'll lose the advantges gained by the skill if your Tactical Hero dies. Combat is, the way I see it, the most important skill in the game.

A more interesting question would be: Scouting or Tactics?
Improved movement at adventure map, or improved speed, movement, defense, offense, moral and luck?

My solution is usually to get two heroes, one with Combat, Tactics, Magic skill X1, Magic skill X2 and Nobility, and one hero with Combat, Scouting, Magic skill X3, Magic skill X4 and Nobility or Magic skill X5...

But if I only have one hero avalible, or in campaigns, I give that hero Combat, Scouting, Tactics, Magic skill X and Magic skill X2 or Nobility. Then I focus on getting two or three of these skills up to Expert level.

As is often the case, variation and complexity is the key... Or so I hope... But specialization isn't bad either!

Summoning or Sorcery or Ressur or Necro or Charm?


Hmm. Depends on the hero type I'm playing with. Sorcery's always useful to boost DD spells, Summon/Raise/Illusion spells and such, Summoning could, if GM level is achieved fast on a small/medium map with few neutral monster stacks, turn out to be more lethal than the legendary Necromany. Besides, Necromancy has the unluckky side effect that it completely ruins your moral, which can be kinda annoying if you're playing with an army that has living troops.
Ressurrection is nice to have when you're in a large battle where you loose many of your troops. With GM Ressurection, th Ankh of Life, Saint Ranans Staff and your hero being a Cardinal, you could ressurect some 75% of your casualties. Nice to have, but again, only if you use living troops.
Charm isn't that good; OK, you get the troops for free, but diplomacy is twice as powerful, and cheaper than purchasing buying the troops in dwellings and towns (half the price, actually).

All in all, I usually try to get Scorcery, no matter which class my hero is. And the choice between these skills are a problem; two heroes/one magic hero who needs combat, tactics, scouting and nobility usually renders this question obsolete...

I voted Ressur, because it's so unbelievably annoying to keep getting armies of 1-3 ghosts that I don't have room for every time I win autocombat. If there was some feature to streamline it and make preferences as to what we wanted raised, I'd go with Necro.Until then, Ressurection brings my Angels back to life, so they can then bring even more people back to life during my next conflict.

As for tactics/combat, no question. A stack of 20 Level 4 creatures instakill a level 30 Hero, so much for his ranged attack bonus. Combat is only useful if used as a token (for achieving the Advanced Class you want) or if it is part of a scenario that seriously limits the quantity of your non-hero forces.

Necroancers are more deadly than Priests. Once you beat a large army of life units, you get lot's death units raised form a large army. I got 5235 skeletons and 999 vamps by beating my freind's 3000 squires, 1450 cross, 1000 monks, 2002 ballis, and 134 angels by tons of devls with ice demons. And since I was a demongoligist I even summon venom spawn and let them die! In that way you could get mor vamps!

I should elaborate. I prefer playing a Hero/Army with Ressurection, but if I'm forced to play death, I'll of course use teh 1337 Necro.

Also, things get complicated if your're death fighting death (Undead can't be re-raised), in which case I generally go Chaos magic (Thank you mr. Annex).
