| Author | skeletons way to underpowerd:what should i do |
|---|
| title says it all. my skeletons always are the ones that never survive combat,even hunts.buff em a bit. | | wait till u get skeleton archers | | k | At your level the skeletons are really weak, but they still serve a couple of purposes:
You can sacrifice them on enemies to take their retals before your zombies march in.
Have them killed to make the zombies stronger. You might have noticed that the zombies become "enraged" when something dies?
So, a bit of tactic-advice: Keep your Zombies in one large stack, and split up your skeletons in 6 stacks. Attack with your skeletons first, and let the zombies hit after. | omg, someone complain on skel...
i should complain on farmer too. they are fat, slow, low on atk, def and hp... ;p | | at level 3 you can have less farmers and more high tier creatures if you build the training chaimbers also you can use farmers to defend bowmen for skelletons at level 3 only use the reserved ones and split them up into stacks of two or three when one of these stacks die then zombie will gain 1 attack so if a bunch die then at level 3-4 u can have ghosts and super powered zombies | Don't worry, If you can stick it out until the high levels you will have Linches, Death Envoy's and Bone Dragons...
Also your 300+ skel bowmen will pack a punch. | | actually, I've heard people say that the admins said that the underpowered level ones will be powerful at higher levels, and the necromancer is the most powerful at level one. so, reason follows it would be the weakest level, say, 14. all the liches, death envoys and bone dragons are underpowered; the bone dragon doesnt even have dragon breath. | | bone dragon is on the rusian server not on this one | | we will get it eventually though. | yes, Im a necro myself, And found myself to be quite powerfull from the start of lvl 1, Then at around lvl 4-5 I noticed a great power spike, I felt like a machine at lvl 6, undefendable.
Then came lvl 7, Everyone changed, I was shocked how 1 lvl could make such a difference, Frankly I was getting my A$$ kicked by every other faction, I was doing no damage to my enemies while they slaughtered my weak little ghosts in 1 hit and my vampires that I only have 12 of.
Also raising is useless at lvl 7, By the time you rez a unit, It's already dead again before it's turn even comes, Some duels I was defeated and I had only killed half of the enemy troops, I got sick of the constant rezzing of my pathetically weak troops hoping for a few lucky misses on my ghosts so I might have a chance of winning a battle
I have changed to dark elf and things are a lot more fun, I deal lots of damage now, And it dosent take me half an hour to do a hunt mission from all the rezzing, Also im really enjoying having moral on my troops, Something that dosent exist being a necro.
Basically necos have to many weakness for there so called strength (Rezing)
1: Weak troops in terms of damage and health.
2: No moral, No extra turns for a necro, This is a really big weakness
3: Necro troops have really bad initiative, Factions like dark elfs and elfs can destroy large portions of our entire army before we even get a turn.
4: Average magic ability at best
5: Bad talent wheel, Talents cost lots of points. | 2: No moral, No extra turns for a necro, This is a really big weakness
and a very big advantage, u can use a couple of ring +1 luck -1 moral without any problem | and a very big advantage, u can use a couple of ring +1 luck -1 moral without any problem
Have you seen the cost and durability of that ring? Plus, other factions have luck as a talent. Lack of morale is indeed a really big weakness in this game. That's because negative morale is almost non existent. | | k,ill switch to dark elve | | About the no morale, have you seen what happens when wizards and elves use raise dead? Every living unit gets -2 morale. That's a real pain, because soon you'll be seeing all of you units freezing in fear when you don't want them to. Not to mention the huge health penalty that is reduced for necros. | | when u get 300 skeleton archer + summon phantom spell. u'll see how "weak" skeletons are. |
