Necropolis Guide
Strategy for playing Necro
Specs:
1.weak starting units(if not upgraded)
2.three weakest units(zombies,wights,dragons)
3.rest army: skells-great #s,vamp lords-best 4th,vamps-weak 4th,lich-pretty good shooters(in middle 5th),dread knights-2nd after nagas.
4.Most needed resources:wood,rocks,sulfur
5.Due to large stack #s of skells its is easy and early to break cons,hives,stores,utopias....
6.Skells without any help arent good enough to go against other castles,even in great #s
Things needed for a good necro game:
1.find sulfur for liches
2.lvl up 2-3 necros at ones
3.get a few other castle and use their units to transform into skells
Strategy:
1. build guild mage on 111,on 112 build skell transformer(amplifier is also a good choice) and and transform other creatures u have,and also zombies (but is u have a small army in that other hero, like 4 archers or basilisks,then u dont build the transformer)zombies will be needed to break smth,due to their toughness.Use heroes and run in all directions,break everything using magic and skells.Sacrafice zombies,not skells.
Building dragons is the last thing to do,they r weakest lvl7 and cost u money and resources for what u could have bought ur all army.
2.get expert necomancy.look for sulfur.Build liches,skell #s should be higher and higher.
3.find money,wood and rocks for knights
4.Second week.Knights to 1 hero,liches to other and farm skells.Upgrade knights.When need to break hive,cons....combine armies.
NOTE:it is important not to lose knights and liches,most skells u get
from fighting higher #s,so fighting horde of lvl 1 is less dangerous and gives u more skells the fighting pack of lvl 4 ot other....
Aim is to get a few Angels so u could walk further,since the troops are slow.Kill everything with knights-liches-wyverns-Angels,skells
work out rarely.
5.find utopias and.If u have a few angels,give 1 to even 1lvl hero,u can have 100 skells added to ur army next week,if u have a place to go.
6.Start of 3rd week.Buy all army,except zombies,put them in transformer or use for sacrifice.
7.Break Utopias u have found,zombies for sacrifice
8.It is best to wait and get 1k skells and wait for opponent to come to u and lose
9.get earth as soon as u can,main magic,expert slow,shield,armor is very good esp.for skells.
10.never get a mage hero.Consequences is that might hero will be as good as mage and have higher att and defence.
11.expert slow and liches/vamps is a good combination to eliminate enemy.1st cast slow,wait with vamps,wait with liches(if needed)
then hit with vamps(u get no retaliation) fly back(or other direction);shoot with liches(it is important to get comp usnits close to each other
so u cna hit more then 1 with liches)
Other specs:
1.If u get Galthran skill hero in beginning,probelm with weak troops is solved,it is easy to get 100 skells day 1 or 2.
2.u can get max hive with 12 vamplords with expert armor or 5 by 1 skells
3.Isra and Vidomina are also good heroes that can bring ur skells # up.
Hope this will help some people who want to get better at necro

You forgot to add that while skeletons warriors are speed 5, farming directly into warriors works at a 50% necromancy rate, while farming in skeletons works at a 100%. So having all 7 slots filled with warriors will get you less.
Also the skeleton transformer can provide you with bone dragons if you put in it any kind of dragons.
I don't agree on your statement about ghost dragons being a weak unit. It can age your enemy and this is very powerful.

And thats all about this game...Do a test: start your second week with 1 bone dragon, then start it without. Count your skeletons number by the end of the week. Compare.

It is not about how you spend your money, but how you find your money. Without dragons, all those pesky shooters spreaded all over the map will kick the A.S.S of your skeletons pretty bad. So, yes, I will spend money on dragons, because with them I can then pick more treasures and get way more skeletons.
I don't say that ghost dragons will win the battle vs human but they will help immensely to farm your decisive unit, the skeletons.
