Castle VS Necropolis | 100 weeks growth | Heroes of Might and Magic 3

[@feferson492]

that went about as expected, but those black knights put in so much work man

[@blackthorne3004]

Yes, the black knights are sort of compensation for the weak bone dragons.

Замок такая имба что вышел практически без потерь. Это прям слив, какой то.

[@mikulasmrva3781]

But of course real 100 weeks of Necropolis growth would have 15k skeletons!

[@dustinjowen4427]

the correct number should be 50k liches lmao too OP

[@nitaistrange112]

this video show the value of necro dragons very nicely. (have watched the meme vids, and thank you for nice content!)

[@krzkam7792]

Strenght of necropolis lays in necromancy, those types of comparisments are not very conclusive. Btw ghost dragons special ability is one of the best in game, low chance of activating is huge drawback tho.

[@nitaistrange112]

@@krzkam7792 In terms of the unit, i still think the dragons are shit, although they might have a good skill, but i just never build them so dont get to see it. True, the faction isn't determined just like that, and depends on template to template, but if you dont have any good dwellings, i find that the faction becomes trash, no matter what, if one has to rely on weekly growth.

[@krzkam7792]

@@nitaistrange112 Don't you forget about necromancy which is main source of skeleton, dwells and transformators are just secondary? Units being not very strong are perfectly sense to me becouse they are just reanimated corpses so it's reasonable they are weaker than living creatures, but you fighting with quantity instead of quality which make the most unique and immersive Dead Army experience town for me, not mention awesome castle and units graphics and incredible music ot this town. It's my favorite town thank to that unique strategy of playing.

[@nitaistrange112]

@@krzkam7792 I was actually thinking more of templates like jebus outcast, where i think skellies have a slightly less important role, contrary to normal games where there isn't tons of dwellings. Not gonna lie, i have Only played 1 and a half campaign, the rest i know is from watching others, so i probably don't know it all, and strategies can of course vary.

They still lose, its pretty one sided.

It's a highland from HotA, not grass. I mean, you can even see that halberdiers aren't moving before the skeletons.

They would always lose. But a years worth of fighting and skeletons harvested, mass slow and implosion fight be enough to even a fight

[@pgup269]

Nice video! It proved that castle creature are so good! But when you get that many castle resources, you must have more resources for Necropolis.

[@salzerilli4789]

Castle units are so good but expensive and harder to get resource wise if you arent always just playing Jebus Cross.

I personally think that material wise castle is not hard to get.

Red/green dragons are harder to get than angels, tower is most expensive, easier to get giants, harder for titans. Ofc unit price is insane for angels/Archangels, but they dont come close in terms of strength

Please use spirit of oppression

Spirit of oppression wasn't used because necro can't morale,but castle can,because of angels passive giving morale,technically dumping the entire RNG of castle.

[@joshuajones9826]

@@heroes3dealer639 Isn't the angel morale cancelled out by the ghost dragon negative morale? I understand from the idea that not being able to be a morale can be considered a negative, it's just a shame there's no opportunity to explore the opposite side of that with negative morale. In my heart though, I already know necro is weaker and auto won't optimize special abilities so I'm just fighting for the necropolis to have a chance haha

Too little skelelton 100 week is where around 10 k skeletons at least

[@blabla-rg7ky]

make it 10 millions, not 10k. I only play against the AI, and only attack the AI at the end of month 12 and whenever I play Necro I get few million skeletons by the time I attack the AI. And 12 months means 48 weeks... 100 weeks will get you at least 10-20 millions skeletons, or - worse - 1 million Power Liches if you are a douchebag and play the game with the CotUK artefact

[@60b1in]

@@blabla-rg7ky Do you play necromancy spec to do that numbers? IMO Galthran is better, because the bonuses to att/def make skeletons insanely strong even at lower counts.

@@60b1in galthran is better in short-medium lasting games, not in late games like I play (12 months). After 12 months no one can handle millions of skeletons... well, except for Tazar maybe, but even he'd need tough army and a few tricks up his sleeve.

[@blabla-rg7ky]

yay, another fight that proves absolutely NOTHING at all! Woohoo, long live these bogus battles. Actually, wait! It does prove something: it proves how shitty the 15% chance of aging is for those useless ghost dragons. Had I been the developer of this game I would have given them at least 25% chance pf proccing, if not 30% or 35%. And that's despite of the fact that I am a passionate hater of Necropolis, that I never play this cheating faction and that I'd like it removed from all installments of HoMM. But even so, having a tier 7 creature that hits 10 times in a fight without proccing its only ability once is downright retarded. I know that the millions of skeletons you get in each game is how you win with Necropolis, but damn if those dragons are not 100% useless!

[@_Sonder_]

These dragons really are stupidly weak

[@blabla-rg7ky]

@@_Sonder_ yes. And while they could be improved in many ways, I think the most fair way is by increasing their chance of aging to 25% and - more importantly - NOT make it dispellable with a simple level 1 spell (cure / dispel). That's so retarded...

[@_Sonder_]

@@blabla-rg7ky I agree

[@stonedwizard0420]

It might have procced once, but these were Bone Dragons rather than Ghost Dragons. Necromancy would be stronger if what you resurrected was a similar creature type. E.g. if you kill a bunch of dragons, the Necromancy should raise Bone or Ghost Dragons instead of skeletons.

[@artvandelay4485]

Yet Necropolis would destroy castle and any other faction in a real match. Necro is the most powerful faction in the game.
