Necromancy. Rise dead after battle.

[Dillet]

I find it wildly weird that chaos talents allow me to get a tire 1 unit with a 50% chance after combat, while necromancy doesn't have that mechanic.
So when i am оrc warchief I can create an army behind enemy lines, and when i am necromancer i cant ))))))))))

They seem to hate snowballing by fighting small battles, so after battle effects are mostly gone.

Poor necromancy got shafted till mid game.

If you grind Pantheon you can auto start with Raise Dead on your hero with the Necromancer Crown origin. Other than that, like BigJ said, necromancy doesn't really kick in till T2/T3.

To be fair, getting free units each battle was quite op in 3 and SM.

Currently barbarian cultures or culturees with chaos do this. It's why the turn 14 rush is strong later, you snowball out of control.

This decision is very strange precisely because of the chaos. Chaos has what was taken from the necromancers, which makes the whole situation absurd )

Moreover, the mechanics of collecting a golem from skeletons hints that such mechanics once existed. Because now there is no difference whether you build a golem in the city at once or make two skeletons and a spell. This is so and so - 30 souls.

It's...weird and kind of annoying, yeah. I understand that they want to mitigate how hard you can snowball by raising dead units or keeping mind controlled ones after battle, but it feels *off* that necromancy can't reinforce that way.

It *might* be justified from a balance standpoint, given all the ways necromancy can raise and exploit or buff undead during combat, though. Adding on the ability to automatically get loads of skeletons that can be fused into T2 bone golems might have been too much to handle.

Basically, I miss the old days when you just had limited multiplayer.
Where Single Player and Co-Op was the focus of most games.

Thank you friends, it's so nice to understand that your thoughts about the ongoing murder of fun are shared by other people.

Mods can fix many sins. If you look in the workshop there is someone working on an overhaul mod already!

[Dillet]

pls do mod! )

Eh, honestly, I keep winding up with significant money problems when I play chaos with that ability. Still trying to figure out how to manage my gold economy to handle unit expansion.
