Hello to all friends who continue the legent of the best ever game
Sorry for my simple english
me and my friend we decided to restart playing on tcp/ip multiplayer after 4 years.
Till now we played against AI.
He s very experienced against AI but i beat him twice easily after reading the forum.2nd week 
That made him furius and he wants revenge and to play in random xl
he will take solmyr
Except conflux which hero-town comp to you recommend.
For necros which is tne speedest strategy for harvesting skellies
2 fighting heroes week1 is difficult for me

If he takes Solmyr, you can take any town and beat him..
To harvest skellies, it is important to have MORE than 1 hero with expert necromancy. And of course you should have built amplifier in all yopur necro towns as soon as possible.
Do NOT attack horde level 1 creatures on the map until you have expert necro (amplifier built would be even better!)! You waste tons of skellies that way.
After you got expert necro, try to find imp caches. Those are the "hidden skell dwellings in disguise" 
Full imp cache: 300 imps
Expert necro: 300 imps = 90 skellies..
with 1 amplifier: 120 skellies
1000 skellies week 4 is not big deal that way.
And if you got 2 heroes with exp. necro week 1, you will do it much faster.

thanks a lot angelito
So in order to have two harvesting w1 you have to start with vidomina or isra and wait for galthran or thant w2 if not w1 ?
About building process 1)mage guild vidomina out with full skellies army and 3 scouters 2)graveyard 3)mausoleoum linches and others with the second necro hero 4)amplifier 5)here my second problem if there is a castle accesible no problem take and go for money so estate 6)citadel 7)castle
5)Alternatively if not, what about money ?

Do not start with Vidomina. Her "speciality" isn't that good. The better hero is for sure Galthran, who gives +1 speed (+attack and defense) to your skellies, which is much more important.
If you are lucky, get Thant as second....
Building order: Try to build vampires as soon as possible. Those are the guys who bring skellies. And you won't lose any of your own skellies that way.

so after a sunshine cofee , speaking about hero tactics,
(sitting around people were looking at us thinking we are lunatics),
we played twice
first time i used necromancy on large and beat him at end w3
second he used necro and beat me mid w4 on xlarge he played well and he was lucky because he could upgrade beside his castle, he didnt had second, and also stable  (grass)
it was fantastic game and battle
i had ivor and 140 elves (I had ryland? and expert diplo compo) but Galthram level 13 and 600 skeletons is unbeatable
plus he had logistics and i couldnt give ivor 7 firebirds from the second and 3 more goldies etc cause he was suprisely faaaast and attact me one day before my scedule
we desided that necro on l, xl is better by far
Anyway thanks a lot angelito for your responses you are a noble knight
for more questions (i ll try castle next time) i ll use the proper topic
two more friends, old AI players from 1999 will join soon

Ivor with 140 elves couldnt beat Galthran's 600 skelies???
Thats a surprice. Obviously some other factors were involved, because 140 elves are by far supperior than 600 skelies.
And regarding your games in general - if you play with no rules, Necromancy is not that strong. Because Diplomacy is stronger most of the cases.

yes because 15 dreads (dwelling) haste after my mass slow in front of the elves and he has 15 something att and def to skellies while a)trying to get ex dip to ryland( I took 45 elves) ivor was only level 12 and
b)couldnt take reinfocments of 4th week due to fast movement
Of course my mistake 50% lucky him 50%
that proves TACTICS is a must
