| It says "can learn lvl 3 spells without the associated talent". What would I need to do as Necro (nature & dark) to be able to cast Lightning (lvl 2 chaos) ? Get the talent and build lvl 2 magic guild for any faction that has chaos ? |
You can't. It only unlocked spells associated with that faction.
Here says what schools each faction knows.

There are special sets that can give the ability to learn certain spells not associated with that faction though. |
| You wont be able to get lightning as necromancer unfortunately, as you say they only have access to nature and darkness schools and other faction buildings will not effect it, so all chaos and holy spells are unavailable. The wisdom talent would also be pointless because level 3 spells are not unlocked until lvl10 :) |
Not possible for Necro to learn Chaos spells. The talent simply means that if you select Wisdom and haven't selected Basic Nature/Dark magic, and have the required building in your castle (Magic Guild 3), you can cast level 3 Nature/Dark spells but at a reduced efficiency.

Aha thanks.
They sure fixed a lot of holes in old heroes model, haven't they! First I wanted max knowledge because hey, necro + animate dead rite. Except they added that ruinous 20% hp debuff, which makes sense both from a realism and from a mechanics pov, but totally ruins the old op necro model.
Now I wanted to cast lightning, because hey, old heroes permitted any spell casting if you visited the castle that had it, so I figure hey, I visit my own model of the castle right ? Wrong, of course.
They also fixed the (truth be told -- broken!) original way "wait" worked, from discrete turns to continuous atb... altogether a much better game if I do say so myself, kudos Empire. |
| There are interesting twists compared to old heroes, although they made wisdom pretty useless because without the talents for the corresponding school, spells become useless because they are much less efficient. |
The thing is, while similar, at the same times this game is very diffirent from heroes. Combat casting is the same. About the wait system, I am sure you mean from heroes 3 right? Well this game is mostly based on heroes 5 (units, combat and spells wise), in which wait system is identical to this game.
And yes, this game is alive for 11 years now so admins did a pretty good job of balancing them (except dwarves, the person who came up with piercing luck needs to be fired asap) |
| I don't think I have ever used wisdom talent in the 8-9 years I have been playing here. Pretty useless if you ask me. |
