Heroes of Might and Magic 5 ALL Cinematics - Part 3: Necropolis Campaign

All of the cutscenes and cinematics that appear in the third campaign of the classic game made by Nival Interactive and published by Ubisoft.
Also includes the "Resurrection of Nikolai" cutscene, which technically belongs to the Sylvan campaign, but I felt it is more related to this one.

I love it when Markal gets caught by the Mage Army and makes this big speech about how he'll be back in a few centuries for his revenge, and all the while the Mage is just smoking his pipe and dozing off like he just doesn't care :D

[@leigemaximum1995]

I always find it funny that Markal is a distinctly secondary villain in 5. He's capable of coming up with dangerous schemes on his own but the plot is more interested in Kha-beleth/the Demon Sovereign trying to break out of Sheogh/hell: It occasionally feels his subplot was only made so the Necropolis faction has an excuse to be in the campaign. The reason I find it funny is that Markal is easily the cooler of the two characters.

[@shadowsteed15]

Markal is definitely my favourite character in Heroes V. :D He's just the best. :D

[@ShadowFerretofD00m]

I've always wondered what happened to Markal between Clash of Heroes and H5. He seemed like a decent guy in the former. I wonder if Fiona's death had some kind of effect on him that turned him all crazy and evil.

[@rollercoaster478]

that might be true, I think he loved Fiona.

[@shadowomega1]

According to heroes VI DLC about Sandro he is already a disciple of sandro between clash of heroes and H5.

[@drkms]

i like this interpretation the best, it makes so much more sense than just having him be the evil side villain with little to no background. also Fiona haunting the narrative after her final death is a nice use of the trope

[@EdGeLV]

Thanks for making these videos, it probably took a lot of time

[@SliverOfTime]

You're welcome! Indeed, editing these is quite a job, and thats why I stopped after the original campaign, but I still havent forgotten about Hammers of Fate.

[@abneraraujo8365]

Markal is the best!

[@genieali7178]

NO SANDRO IS THE BEST

[@BlackDiamond2718]

I like how we all know necromancy well enough to predict this would happen and i love markal for his clever use of an opportunity.

[@EagleEyeMcFly]

I think this campaign or the Dungeon one was my favorite in Heroes of Might & Magic V.

[@fedorsunset5793]

In the russian version they called not Nicolai and Andrei, but Nicolas and Andrias.

[@aznereth3767]

It is hillarious how Clash of Heroes kind of irrevocably changed the implied dynamic between Fiona and Markal Instead of conniving necromancer somehow seducing the seemingly oblivious queen (like he did with Isabel) we have him actually previously helping Fiona to both get her living body back and thwarting schemes of demon worshippers in process. Asha uses all indeed. I mean, with their history back there it would be a surprise if they were NOT close. Maybe not at point of them having an affair but nevertheless - him being her magic advisor is completely earned. And Godric could only cope and seethe Also, makes one question how Markal simply did not raise her to undeath. She had experince at being an undead commander, if nothing else

[@drkms]

Fiona and Markal have such an intriguing relationship. indeed, one might think he was some kind of a rasputinianesque figure to the queen yet coh gives a whole new different perspective to their relationship after they had such a nice bonding experience during Fiona's quest, practicing necromancy together and shit. i like to think they were super close, and Fiona's final death made Markal sort of lose it (to the point he bailed from the court with remains of a recently deceased queen) and become the person who he is in homm5. Fiona haunting the narrative (of a single side character) etc etc btw мне понравился ваш фик на эту тему :)

[@ThatDumbassOwl]

What the hell happened with Isabels character in this part of the campaign? Her arc started out pretty strong, helping her husband drive off the demons. It was really effective and conveyed that Isabel has a strong mind about her decisions as a queen. And she was never this easily swayed. Say what you want about her being captured by the demons, but atleast that situation was out of her control. Here, markall blatantly says he will use necromancy to ressurect nikolai. Her acting like a goddamn child makes absolutely no sense to me. She was harsh yes, but never this juvenile or idiotic. Her troops leaving her should have been the first fucking alarm that WHAT YOU ARE DOING IS WRONG.

[@svarthert8450]

Her husband was her weakness... See how it's going after his death.

[@LJ-vm6xo]

Yea I think her husbands death really caused a shift in her attitude, however it may also show that without support of Godric, Nikolai and other Councillors she isn't as confident in her abilities.

[@EvernightDreamer]

Markal was very convincing. I don't think it's an unusual ability from a "who-knows-how-many-years-old" Necromancer who knows all secrets of Dark Magic and all desires and fears of living minds. I do agree actually that Isabel's character went downhill since Campaign 3. She shouted herself as a queen, but since the wedding ceremony was interrupted by demons, she never was, and never acted like a true queen. I think Freyda deserved better to be the queen. Although she wasn't related to Alexei Griffin, but she was still Nicolai's cousine, they shared some features like bravery and self-sacrifice, and she was also a good strategist and a great leader who managed to see right through the veil Biara created and rebelled against her.

[@richardides2035]

Markal FTW

[@deadpwner99]

markal has a weird way of saying four

[@ravenandthecrow]

That path of magic and necromancy is beyond our comprehension. It us, the living who are fools and hot blooded that did not understand the great truths of the universe that he revealed to us.

[@rollercoaster478]

Markal is the real villain of HOMM5 lol

[@vessie1773]

Eyyy...I found a mistake! 3:05 Markal said : ''Key lies in three artifacts'' but in subtitles it's written *''four''*

[@lucas.olivat396]

Too late haha

[@damdumah2552]

Sandro dead? NOOOOOOOO!!!!

[@ravenandthecrow]

Yea. Some doubt he is truly dead. He is a lich afterall but he did not return in the other games. It is one of the reasons why I did not buy.

[@EvernightDreamer]

Since Heroes VI is a prequel of Heroes V, Sandro appears as a main hero and playable character in the Danse Macabre adventure pack.

[@lukaslepka7193]

OH MARKAL

[@lukaslepka7193]

MARKAL VS ZEHIR I think that Markal IS Better then Zehir Why did Markal die i dont know Markal Agrael Zehir Are BEST

[@Lonely_Moth]

​@Dr. Red eye Agreed, but the thing is... Markal didn't actually die back then. Zehir knew the necromancer could be resurrected, so he tried to trick Markal and eliminate him completely but... was... tricked by Markal instead, lol. In time Zehir found out that piece of rotting villain was chilling in the Ring of the Unrepentant, waiting to be freed. By that time the young wizard was strong enough and his enemy was weakened enough, so...

[@EvernightDreamer]

Raelag never battled with Markal, he only met him when he and Isabel were on their way to Talonguard to resurrect Nicolai as a vampire. When the triumvirate met Raelag, Markal was already vanquished, and they were about to siege Talonguard and take Isabel to perform the rite on her..
