hi guys
looking for some good necro guide here i recognised that most of the information in your brains is lost somewhere between the screen and you, so there is no guide containing most of the cool tricks we all found. if there is one, send a link to me please, but i dont think so.
i dont claim that mine will be better, it is just the beginning of some kind of necro knowledge archieve. i also know that most of the things mentioned here are already mentioned here somewhere, i just want to gather. furthermore, i will leave anything most of us can think of theirselves out, i dont want to waste time, mine or yours. so lets go...
Hero Choice
good ones are:
caspar: the tent rescues about 10-15 t6 creatures/game and help a lot especially at he beginning. catapult and brimstone rain are also not a bad choice. canceraids tent will be of no use.
raven: the def reductin is great because it affects all of the enemy units and is free. i prefer caspar, but she will fit the role of the lategame hero more.
bad heroes:
all the others. creature stats or the other crappy features are just not as good as caspars or ravens skill.
Skill Choice
enlightenment
nice, but neglegible. stats are nice to have, but not vital. the bonus xp are not important, +/- 1 lvl (it wont be more), i wouldt care. intelligence and dark revelation are good skills, but not great. i dont chose enlightenmen very often, its a luxury(lord of the undead sux, dont even think about it).
interesting about it is that you will be able to push your dark energy by mentoring. with your main hero on about lvl 20-25 you will get +80-100 points/hero.
luck
great skill. necro is a might faction, massing creature power. a must have if you are offered it. soldiers luck also owns.
defense
its like enlightenment. nice to have, because you will have to resurrect fewer units, but can be left out. if you chose it(you should, if its going to be a long game, won in a final, big fight), take evasion if you have nothing more important and depending on the enemy. last stand can be nice to save the atb value of a stack which will be resurrected after being killed, but i did not try it that often, cant tell anything special.
attack
take it. battle frenzy, power of speed, tactics.
sorcery
take it. skill choice is very situational, think.
dark/ summoning
well, its difficult. i choose dark most times, master of mind and curses, because vampirism, puppet master and the stat buffing skills are great. summoning should be chosen if you get better spells in the guild. the high resurrection values are absolutely worth it, you can also take both of the skills, it depends on your other skills. think. the summoning skills are also very situational and should be chosen depending on the offered spells.
logistics
if you like/ need it, if its a big map etc... think.
+necromancy, eternal serv and the mark. howl effect is just to low compared with spells. rush the serv, its a good help at the beginning.
all the other skills should not be chosen due to the following reasons:
spells wont be offered, other skills are better, they are not needed because they are needed in situations you wont let come. and try to get the ulti, you wont.
Creatures
archers while you cant resurrect many units and dont have serv, after this period warriors. they are just better. caspar can pick them from the first day on. dont forget that one warrior can shield your archers from ranged attacks.
zombies suck. tanks can be risen from neutral kills and are not needed after some time. they are just to slow and have a bad damage before getting battle frenzy. the cursing attack is nice to have, so you might have a use for them later when you have the frenzy, just keep them in the rax till you need them.
the little shiny friends should get the first upgrade due to the mana leech.
both vampires do a good job. if you are good at resurrecting or have soldiers luck, take the princes.
also both liches are good. chose them depending on your resurrecting skills.
the big bastards get the first upgrade because of the stats and the skills, no other way.
both of the dragons are fine - if you get them. i dont have the money most of the time.
The First Week
tavern, skells max, hall, wall, blurrie friends, guild. thats my usual order, you can change if you want. i prefer the blurries before the additional drak energy if i know i wont use it to resurrect something good, which is the case most of the time.
the other weeks are up to you.
Treasure Chests
get the xp until you are able to creep without heavy losses, then get the money, it will help you better by providing power, which will lead to xp, got it?
Creeping
turtle the archers with the few zombies your hero has from the beginning.
in most cases you should obviously let the immaterials take the retaliation before attacking with the skelletons. zombies can be wasted at the beginning, they will just need slots you could fill with different resurrected units.
if you have a bunch of different stacks its easier to let ie. the warriors fight alone due to the fact that its easier to resurrect one stack. the first aid tent will ressurect more units if they have less hp due to the raise dead spell.
dont forget to use the mark all the time. targeting your own units is stupid, its not perfectly controlable and they will have to suffer a lot of damage bofe you get enought mana to cast raise dead. the only case which could make you do this is that you just need 1 mana and wont deal nuff dmg to get it by attacking. never happened to me.
Hero Fights
mass spells first, rush into the enemies, vampirism or puppet master, kill some stuff, raise some stuff. i will change this brilliant strategie when i have the time to do it^^.
well thats the beginning. a lot will follow. tell me whats left behind here, give me some feedback please and tell me if the t3´s are affected by soldiers luck.
necro, remember: keep green!
p.s.: there is no necro guide made by the people accomplishing "the plan", another reason to write this...
I had written a necro guide myself in the past few days, take a 
And I had 6 levels more so the enlightenment stats really made a difference.
