I know that dark energy has been introduced to balance Necromancy, but how does it work? More specifically, how does the game work out how many points you have or how much creatures cost?
Main reason I ask is that the amount my hero has seems to change each week, as do the cost of creatures e.g. After one fight, 1 skeleton archer=3 points. Next day, another battle, 1 skeleton archer=4 points!

Dark Energy Pool = 200 + Hero_Bonus + Building_Bonus
where:
» Hero_Bonus: each hero contributes to the pool according to his level. His Mastery of the Necromancy skill then
basically serves as a multiplicator (see the table below)
» Building_Bonus: each Pillar of Bone in your kingdom contributes 150 Dark Energy points, as does the Tomb of the Lost (Grail structure).
That is a quote from page 206 of the fan made manul for HOF.

I didn't mean Necromancy got weaker. I just said that 20 DE is a joke and that structure is next to useless (only useful for the Lich requirement), since the 10% Necromancy bonus is not useful because we have sooo high Necromancy now... (not like it was without DE)
I would like to see the Pillar give 80 DE and you start with 200. It will make the structure more useful as it should 'cause it costs 10 Sulfur. Also, other races benefit much from more towns with their buildings (+10% chances to critical hit with Avenger, +10% damage from Elemental Chains, more Trained troops per week, +10% gated creatures, etc), so why make Necro an exception to this?

Hide, listen, watch, learn… And when the time is right, strike from the shadow.

I fail to see the connection between the Sacrifice building (which all evil races have) and the racial ability boosting building. I mean, Inferno can also sacrifice creatures from other towns. Same with Dungeon. The problem is that the Undead Converter is much more powerful, even overpowered (in many towns games). But this has nothing to do with Pillar of Bones, just make the Undead Converter use up DE points when converting or something to nerf it.

I haven't played around with 1.5 necros yet since I am working on a HOF map at the moment. But if necros now get more DE or more DE early necros keep getting stronger with every patch.
