Verriker, someone should really tell you and the other children that *whisper* Ubisoft butchered Necropolis a long, long time ago and, umm, ghouled the name in order to replace it with a faction of sorcerors worshipping the Spider incarnation of a Dragon Goddess and the state of being physically dead, but magically animated.*whisper*
Yeah, big deal that the art now looks like THAT and not like a mix out of Batman's Gotham and every classic horor movie.
If it was me, I'd left Necro out completely; the undead business was more fun when it was still something special.

Probably not QP wothy, but damn that one is funny 
Well that one got QPed so I don't see why not this one too. 
Edit: I like the concept, "quality trolling"
It wasn't just because of that pic, as Elvin explains here

Hmmm... A far more risky design than the previous H5 and H6 Necropolis. While I quite like the spider like city or structure that's seen in concept art for a long time (you can see it a few pages back in this thread) to me there is something that does not quite work with this version.
It would be better if these spider legs had a function other than just decoration, like supporting the town on it (like in the concept art pic) or perhaps acting as bridges to other areas. Right now they just stick out the ground.
There is also something strange about building on the ziggurat like that. It looks almost like placing different items on a shelf, rather than being something that is built and integrated into the ziggurat. That one building on the middle row on the middle of the stair case maybe should be moved as it looks out of place. The stuff on the bottom level and elsewhere is fine though. The building designs are fine.
To repeat what someone said earlier I think the fortifications should go right the way round. The front gate and fort though look cool.
I don't think it's that terrible (does anyone remember the Heroes 4 giant skull?), and I will concede to some extent this row system is useful as it makes buildings easy to find. However I still prefer either the spires of H5 or the Pyramid of H6. If they could have just used the concept art picture and somehow based the spider town on that they may pull it of.

Heh, did you guys actually notice the building on the far right? I can't even look at anything else while wondering who Might have possibly even thought that this is in the least bit acceptable.. Just put it on the big empty space to the left of the massive spider leg. Then zoom in and now one can start looking at the rest. Oh and that wall thingie is ridiculous, looks like something i made the first time playing age of empire with six years

Spider-Man, Spider-Man, friendly neighborhood Spider-Man!
He even helps those troops climb onto city fortifications!
PS: I think the best one is this little "Skeletor Transformer" building right next to the walls :] It makes skeletons and keeps a lookout on them walls!

Could you, possibly, re-link the concept? It, somehow, manages to escape my searching abilities.

I just realized how this whole cataclysmic desaster can be avoided:
tadaa! Just add FOG everywhere! That's right! FOG! Shroud everything in fog. The creatures and models, until only a shape is really visible. The town screen, until you can only guess at structures and forms.
I mean, come on! It's supposed to be somewhat scary. And creepy. And fog is just great for that.
Also people wouldn't see anything anymore , but could envision instead what they would like to see.
Win-win situation, really.

You... I see no reason not to return to a classical Necro town with classical horror figures, it worked, why fix it when it's not broken. That being said, I wouldnt whine about for 80 pages either.
