Necropolis Intro

The division between the Necropolis and the Inferno exists once again, and the benefits that come with being undead certainly make the Necropolis a formidable opponent. Described as a 'weaker' town in terms of might, the Necropolis creatures do have the speciality of being undead, and others, being incorporeal, which means they have no body. This should act in a similar fashion to Heroes IV's insubstantial, where normal melee attacks would deal considerably less damage. A feature that is seen throughout a number of the creatures in the Inferno is 'life drain' which helps rejuvenate hit points. Additionally, as undead units, they have no emotions, therefore are not affected by morale bonuses or penalties.

How to read this page

Most of the elements describing the creature should be quite familiar. However, if they're not, here's what you should know:

The Attributes panel presents the creature's attack, defense and such. Position your mouse over an element to display the tooltip if you're not familiar with the icon.
The Economics panel shows the cost of the unit, and its weekly growth rate.
Move your mouse over the abilities to show the description popup.
Casters have a spellbook: it opens as a popup to show the creature's spells. The little icon next to the spell name represents the creature's mastery of that spell, ranked from None to Expert. Click on a spell to go to the corresponding spell page.
The Experience value is the amount of experience your hero will gain when killing one creature of that type.
The Power Rating is a global indicator of the creature power. It allows you to roughly compare different creatures, even if, of course, there's no such thing as a unique strategy and power ladder in Heroes 5!!

Necropolis - Level 1 Skeleton
Armed with axe and shield, the Skeleton raises his bony arms to bring death to the living. High initiative allows Skeletons to strike first, but their rather fragile bodies cannot withstand much damage.
UndeadThis creature is not alive (like all other Necropolis creatures) and its morale is always neutral. It cannot be affected by Poison-, Blind- or Mind-related magic.. 554		19 20

	Skeletons are a quick level 1 walker, with fairly low Hit Points, and who also deal minimal damage. They have the Undead ability, as does the rest of the Necropolis, and they are also very cheap creatures when considering they are better than Peasants though they are 3 gold less - which could mean over 1000 gold in the long run.

Necropolis - Level 1 Upgrade Skeleton Archer
Armed with bow and arrow, Skeleton Archers strike from afar. High initiative allows Skeletons to strike first, but their weak frames can only withstand a little damage before collapsing.
ShooterThis creature can inflict damage remotely. When distance to target is longer than half the arena, the target suffers only half the normal damage. Shooter cannot use ranged attack when blocked by enemy creature. If there's no Ammo Cart in the army, the number of shots is limited by available ammo.. UndeadThis creature is not alive (like all other Necropolis creatures) and its morale is always neutral. It cannot be affected by Poison-, Blind- or Mind-related magic.. 1084		30 20

	While a very small statistical upgrade (downgrade in speed), the Skeleton Archer obviously adds the ranged ability to convert the creature from an offensive walker into a back-line ranger. Skeleton Archers are very numerous, and still extremely cheap for level 1. An ammo cart wouldn't go astray.	Shooter 1 2 1 - 2 10 4 5 0 8

Necropolis - Level 1 Upgrade Skeleton Warrior
These are the elite of the skeleton light infantry, armed with solid shields and dangerous maces, they are quite capable of shifting the balance of any battle in their favour. Skeleton Warriors are not afraid of death, after all they have long since stared it in the face.
UndeadThis creature is not alive (like all other Necropolis creatures) and its morale is always neutral. It cannot be affected by Poison-, Blind- or Mind-related magic.. Large ShieldCreature receives only 50% of damage from all non-magical shooting attacks.. Magic-proof 25%Attacking spells inflict 25% less damage to this creature.. BashAt every attack creature has a chance to stun the enemy so they won't be able to retaliate and lose initiative (mechanical creatures are not affected).When stunned, the target's ATB value is reset to 0.. Shield AlliesAll friendly creatures located on neighbouring tiles get only 50% of damage from non-magical shooting attacks.. 1085		30 20

Necropolis - Level 2 Zombie
These rotten corpses are raised by the Necromancers in order to bring death to their enemies. Although they are slow and clumsy, Zombies do not feel pain or fear. This makes them frightening foes, and ideal cannon fodder.
UndeadThis creature is not alive (like all other Necropolis creatures) and its morale is always neutral. It cannot be affected by Poison-, Blind- or Mind-related magic.. EnragedThis creature's Attack increases during combat when any stack of friendly units dies (except resurrected creatures or creatures summoned on battlefield by magic).The increase is proportional to the killed stack relative power in the army.. 10105		40 15
	» Comment	» Attributes
	The Zombie is simply too slow to be of much worth in a Necropolis army. Their poor damage (equal to that of the skeleton archer) and shocking attack and defense values don't give much reason to waste (an albeit small amount) 45 gold on them. They have lost their toughness ability, even though their Hit Points are very good.	Walker 1 2 1 - 2 6 4 17 0 0

Necropolis - Level 2 Upgrade Plague Zombie
These rotten corpses are raised by the Necromancers in order to bring death upon their enemies. Plague Zombies do not feel pain and can withstand a great deal of damage. In addition, their festering weapons can infect all living creatures with a wasting disease.
UndeadThis creature is not alive (like all other Necropolis creatures) and its morale is always neutral. It cannot be affected by Poison-, Blind- or Mind-related magic.. EnragedThis creature's Attack increases during combat when any stack of friendly units dies (except resurrected creatures or creatures summoned on battlefield by magic).The increase is proportional to the killed stack relative power in the army.. Weakening StrikeWith each successful attack, the attacked enemy's Attack and Defense properties are reduced by 2 units (cannot get below zero).. 15150		60 15
	» Comment	» Attributes
	The Plague Zombie is only a small improvement over the Zombie, the enchancements being spread over attack, defense, initiative, and damage. Their added special is potent, but the amount of times the Plague Zombie will actually be able to attack is questionable, and doesn't justify their position in an army. The 65 gold cost does nothing to help their cause, either.	Walker 2 2 2 - 3 7 4 17 0 0

Necropolis - Level 2 Upgrade Rot Zombie
For any living person, nothing could be viler than the Rot Zombie. Destined to serve the necromancer's cause, these foul-smelling corpses carry within their decaying flesh all of the most terrible and most dangerous diseases. Faced with these harbingers of death, enemy forces quickly lose heart and with it any hopes of victory.
UndeadThis creature is not alive (like all other Necropolis creatures) and its morale is always neutral. It cannot be affected by Poison-, Blind- or Mind-related magic.. Festering AuraThis creature decreases all its neighbors' Attack and Defense by -2 and their Morale by -1, regardless of who owns them. Undead creatures are immune to this effect.. EnragedThis creature's Attack increases during combat when any stack of friendly units dies (except resurrected creatures or creatures summoned on battlefield by magic).The increase is proportional to the killed stack relative power in the army.. 15145		60 15

Necropolis - Level 3 Ghost
Ghosts are restless spirits of the dead, forever bound to the Necromancer who has enslaved them. Their bodies are incorporeal, which makes them difficult to hit.
FlyerThis creature can move on to any free tile on the battlefield during its turn, regardless of the obstacles in the way.. UndeadThis creature is not alive (like all other Necropolis creatures) and its morale is always neutral. It cannot be affected by Poison-, Blind- or Mind-related magic.. IncorporealThis creature is incorporeal so any non-magical attack against it has only 50% chance of inflicting damage.There can be at most 3 hits/misses in a row on all Incorporeal stacks, after which the fourth try will be forced to miss (after 3 hits) or hit (after 3 misses). This counter is global (for all stacks), not tied to each stack.. 20232		100 9
	» Comment	» Attributes
	The Ghost's low statistics are largely due to its omnipresent Incorporeal ability, which is certainly excellent when it works. However, at present, it is based purely on luck, so if the ability does not kick in, your Ghosts are powerless to do anything about it, and fall easily. Its high initiative can keep it out of trouble, but not using its high-end damage would be a waste.	Flyer 5 4 2 - 4 10 5 16 0 0

Necropolis - Level 3 Upgrade Spectre
Spectres are restless spirits bound to the service of the Necromancer who has enslaved them. Their bodies are incorporeal, which makes them harder to hit. The chilling touch of these spirits can drain the mana of enemy creatures, restoring the Spectre with stolen magic.
FlyerThis creature can move on to any free tile on the battlefield during its turn, regardless of the obstacles in the way.. UndeadThis creature is not alive (like all other Necropolis creatures) and its morale is always neutral. It cannot be affected by Poison-, Blind- or Mind-related magic.. IncorporealThis creature is incorporeal so any non-magical attack against it has only 50% chance of inflicting damage.There can be at most 3 hits/misses in a row on all Incorporeal stacks, after which the fourth try will be forced to miss (after 3 hits) or hit (after 3 misses). This counter is global (for all stacks), not tied to each stack.. Mana DrainWhen attacking enemy units, this creature can drain their mana and use it to restore its own health, or even to resurrect some killed creatures.Mana drained is equal to the number of Spectres in the stack, capped to the actual Mana amount of the target. Additionally, as many Spectres are resurrected as the Mana drained (ie. Life drained is up to 19*Mana drained).. 31327		140 9
	» Comment	» Attributes
	For a 40% higher cost, the Spectre is an interesting upgrade: 3 more Hit Points, almost twice more damage, and most of all the Mana Drain ability. While this may not be always useful, it is a clear must-have when facing spell casters. First you'll drain their spell points, preventing them from casting at all (especially useful against the slow Pit Lords), and second you'll revive killed Spectres in the process!

Necropolis - Level 3 Upgrade Poltergeist
Poltergeists live in the vaults of the old ruined castle, located right at the edge of Heresh. More than anything else, poltergeists have a hatred for archers, and will always endeavour to empty their quivers before they start shooting.
FlyerThis creature can move on to any free tile on the battlefield during its turn, regardless of the obstacles in the way..

This counter is global (for all stacks), not tied to each stack.. Steal AmmunitionOnce per combat, this creature can steal some ammo from the enemy stacks within its movement range (activated ability).The number of ammunitions stolen is equal to the size of the stealing stack divided by its weekly growth.. 31331		140 9

Necropolis - Level 4 Vampire
Necromancers who wish to cheat death become Vampires with ever-youthful -- but empty -- bodies. Any damage that Vampires inflict upon the living heals their own immortal forms. Gifted with hundreds of years of combat experience, they are so swift with their swords than none can retaliate against their strikes.
No Enemy RetaliationEnemies never retaliate after melee attacks by creatures with this ability.. UndeadThis creature is not alive (like all other Necropolis creatures) and its morale is always neutral. It cannot be affected by Poison-, Blind- or Mind-related magic.. Life DrainWhen attacking enemy units, this creature can drain their health and use it to restore its own, or even to resurrect some killed creatures.Life drained is half the damage inflicted.. 38518		250 5
	» Comment	» Attributes
	Speed is an important factor with the Vampire, and the player is tempted to use it in an offensive sense, preferably against lower level creatures so that it can regain Hit Points lost against tougher enemies. No Retaliation is a superb ability to be coupled with a fast flying creature, meaning it can strike slower creatures without ever getting hit back later on in the battle.

Necropolis - Level 4 Upgrade Vampire Lord
Some Necromancers, seeking powers beyond death, become Vampire Lords. Any damage that Vampire Lords inflict upon the living heals their own immortal, eternally youthful bodies. None can retaliate against their strikes, and with their ability to teleport, none can foresee from where they may attack.
FlyerThis creature can move on to any free tile on the battlefield during its turn, regardless of the obstacles in the way.. No Enemy RetaliationEnemies never retaliate after melee attacks by creatures with this ability.. UndeadThis creature is not alive (like all other Necropolis creatures) and its morale is always neutral. It cannot be affected by Poison-, Blind- or Mind-related magic..

	» Comment	» Attributes
	The Vampire Lord improves on almost all areas on the Vampire, and retains the excellent abilities the Vampire already had. Attack and Defense are increased by 50%, and the damage range is also increased to increase potency. A small improvement in Hit Points makes the Vampire Lord an excellent offensive creature in the Necropolis army.	Flyer 9 9 7 - 11 11 7 35 0 0

Necropolis - Level 4 Upgrade Vampire Prince
One should never look a Vampire Prince in the eyes. Unfortunately not everyone remembers this basic truth. Those who are stupid enough to breach this rule risk being lost in a long sleep and falling under the total power of the vampire.
FlyerThis creature can move on to any free tile on the battlefield during its turn, regardless of the obstacles in the way..

Life DrainWhen attacking enemy units, this creature can drain their health and use it to restore its own, or even to resurrect some killed creatures.Life drained is half the damage inflicted.. TorporThis creature has a chance to put an enemy into deep slumber by its attack. The sleeping enemy is not able to move or attack until it wakes up or it is attacked. Moreover, it gets maximal damage from the Vampire Prince's attack and it does not retaliate to the attack that wakes it up. This ability will not work on Undead, Mechanical or Elemental creatures.The target is put to sleep for 3 turns. The effect can be removed by Cleansing, Lay Hands, Purge and the First Aid Tent.. 62757		380 5

Necropolis - Level 5 Lich
Liches are powerful undead mages, seething with hatred for all forms of life. They bring plague to the lands they tread upon, creating dreadful Death Clouds to strike their enemies from afar.

	» Comment	» Attributes
	Boasting great attack, defense, damage and initiative, the Lich is easily able to destroy enemy ranks, especially if they are packed in tightly. Where the Lich falters is in Hit Points and speed. Once engaged, the Lich's effectiveness has all but dissapated, and, especially due to its 2x2 size and poor 3 speed, it is not very manoeuvreable.	Shooter 15 15 12 - 17 10 3 50 0 5

	» Comment	» Attributes
	While worthy upgrades were observed on the statistical side of things, especially in attack and defense, the main addition to the Lich is the Spellcasting ability. While the spells may not be the best, it adds an extra element of strategy to weaken the enemy with Dark Magic spells. Its Hit Points still remain its Achilles' Heel, with a meagre 55. The ArchLich is still primarily a shooter though, as its Damage shows.	Caster/Shooter 19 19 17 - 20 10 3 55 16 6

Necropolis - Level 6 Wight
Wights are tormented souls thirsty for revenge on all living creatures.

	» Comment	» Attributes
	The Wight is a powerful melee unit. Though it has average Hit Points, attack and defense values, and damage are all commendable. It is also quick around the battlefield, despite its size. Wights have the usual Undead bonus, but aside from this, they lack any specials, and are a relatively weak creature for their level. They are quite cheap, however.	Walker 24 22 21 - 25 11 6 95 0 0

Necropolis - Level 6 Upgrade Wraith
Wraiths are Death itself, nothing can endure their chilling touch and survive. Any enemy creature that fights them is drained of its soul-substance.

UndeadThis creature is not alive (like all other Necropolis creatures) and its morale is always neutral. It cannot be affected by Poison-, Blind- or Mind-related magic.. Harm TouchWhen this creature attacks, it always kills one unit in any enemy detachment. It also dispells all positive magical effects currently affecting the target (activated ability).The normal creature attack is unchanged. When Harm Touch is used instead, exactly one target creature is killed.. 1552588		1700 2
	» Comment	» Attributes
	The Wraith is a fair upgrade, the main change seen in increased average damage (5). The Harm Touch ability is useful only when the Wraith's normal attack does not deal as much damage, and is really only useful against level 6s and 7s when Wraiths are low in numbers. Other than those small changes, they are effectively the same creature as the Wight.	Walker 26 24 25 - 30 11 6 100 0 0

Necropolis - Level 6 Upgrade Banshee
The Banshees strike fear into the hearts of all living beings, as anyone who hears their cry is struck down dead. And on the battlefield, the banshees claim many more victims with their rusty scythes.
Large CreatureThis creature is bigger than others and occupies four squares on the field.This creature takes 2x2 squares on the battlefield.. UndeadThis creature is not alive (like all other Necropolis creatures) and its morale is always neutral. It cannot be affected by Poison-, Blind- or Mind-related magic.. Death WailThis creature can deal damage on all living enemy stacks within the range of 3 tiles from it. The damage amount depends on the particular enemy's Morale and its distance from the creature (activated ability).Base damage is equal to (10-Target_Morale)Nb_Banshee, where Nb_Banshee is the number of Banshees in the attacking stack. Targets adjacent to the Banshee suffer their base damage, while targets one tile further suffer half of it, and targets 2 tiles further only 25% of it. For example, with a stack of 8 Banshees, an adjacent target with Morale 2 will suffer 8(10-2)=64 damage. A target 2 tiles further with Morale -1 will suffer 8*(10+1)/4=22 damage.. 1562449		1700 2

Necropolis - Level 7 Bone Dragon
Stolen from their graves and compelled to serve the Necromancers, Bone Dragons are formed from the skeletons of dead dragons of other breeds. The Necromancer lands have no native dragons, and so they are compelled to steal and create their own.

	» Comment	» Attributes
	As is inherent in being a Bone Dragon, the statistics will always be inferior to a living, breathing Dragon. The Bone Dragon demonstrates this, having fewer Hit Points than a Treant, and dealing less damage than a Pit Lord. The Bone Dragon would be an ultimate level 6 creature if it weren't for the respectable attack and defense ratings it has. It is, however, very inexpensive, at only 2400 gold and 1 Mercury, they are definitely value for money. Unfortunately, the Bone Dragon also suffers from a lack of specials.

Necropolis - Level 7 Upgrade Spectral Dragon
No single type of dragon gives up its bones to form a Spectral Dragon. Instead, these fell beasts are composed of the bones of every breed of dragon, cunningly arranged into a single skeleton and infused with unlife by the sacrifice of a high-ranking Necromancer's soul.
Large CreatureThis creature is bigger than others and occupies four squares on the field.This creature takes 2x2 squares on the battlefield..

Death StareThis creature decreases all enemy stacks' Morale by -1.. 2203905		1900 2 1
	» Comment	» Attributes
	The Spectral Dragon is only a slight improvement over the Bone Dragon in terms of statistics, and there are no standout abilities that make it worth the extra 500 gold and 1 mercury. Although it is a much more efficient attacker due to the increased damage (still dangerously low for a level 7), it is also a slightly better defensive option due to its increased Hit Points. It is easy on gold reserves, but no such luck with conserving Mercury. Overall, a very poor level 7 creature.	Flyer 30 28 25 - 35 11 7 160 0 0

Necropolis Analysis (by ThE_HyDrA)

Walker: 6
Shooter: 3
Flyer: 6
Spellcaster/-: 1

Total Orientation: The Necropolis's host of flying creatures enables them to traverse the battlefield quickly. Also due to their 2 different ranged attackers and high-level spellcaster, the Necropolis troops will be able to initiate their attacks earlier than other alignments. Their low combat statistics are compensated for by their undead (and, at times, incorporeal) state and their lower recruitment price.

This information comes from the Heroes V release version (v3.0).

Thanks to Lord_Crusader, Labyrinth, GenieLord and Elvin for in-game screenshots.
