Orc necromancer bonus
I'm on stage 4 of the shadow wars and i've yet to see any mystic tribe orc have the necromancer trait aside from zog. Are necromancers meant to be extremely rare or have i missed a requirement to start getting orcs with the necromancer trait. I think this might be the case because now i'm starting to see orcs with the terrified/hate of undead.

I haven't found any necromancers in my whole gameplay either...

I think they are rare. I have only ever seen one that isnt Zog. Unsure where he vanished to though. cant remeber if he died or not.

They exist. I have one in my fortress as a warchief. They're super rare but they're out there. Keep looking.

From what I can tell (From what other people have seen and my own attempts to disect the code) The "Necromancer" Trait is given to certain Captains of the Mystic Tribe that have certain titles of whom associate them GREATLY with the Mystic Tribe - Gravewalker, Warlock, etc.

And from my own attempts I did not get one to spawn into my game, and I can safely say that the titles such as Gravewalker and Warlock are the only types of Titles a Captain of the Mystic Tribe can use that allows them to aquire the Necromancer Trait, however, this could also only be obtained when they level up or they may have it upon being spawned into the game.

I've seen two different orcs that were necromancers, for one of them I sent him into a pit fight and he raised the enemy's gang against him. It was quite entertaining
I first met one when I was level 23 or something. Back then I was only in Act2 so I didn't realize how rare they were. I just chopped his head off. But yeah, it would've been awesome if I knew its rarity. I would've dominated and kept it safe.

I have seen 3 so far that arent zog, the Warlock, the Gravewalker, and the Crafty. Sadly warlock died because of the seige walls glitch but those other two are still alive. hopefully I can find more!

I wonder if you're more likely to find Necromancer orcs in Minas Morgul, that's where I found my first one as well as this guy

So... non-mystics can be necromancers as well?

Tribe doesn't matter - if they are cursed there is a change for them to be Necros.

Also, people saying that Necros need to be called stuff like the Warlock and the Gravewalker are not entirely correct. The names can be a hint, but they can be called many different things.

You recognize cursed orcs by their eyes and black visible veins.

I'd like to confirm that necromancers have pale, veiny skin and yellow eyes. I have several, including an Ishmoz the Tactician from the Warmonger tribe! If it can appear on him, it can probably appear almost anywhere.

Everyone keeps saying about the pale veiny skin. Thats from the cursed trait. Not the necromancer trait. However it appears only cursed orcs can become necromancers. Not Mystic like we thought.

spam-open a bunch of chests, you see a guy with red eyes, pale skin with dark vains, and a cursed weapon, he's your guy. spawn him in, level him up, he'll have it in no time. worked for me
