Necropolis (H6)

For the faction in other games, see Necropolis.

"Life is change, chaos, filth and suffering. Death is peace, order, everlasting beauty."

The Necropolis is a faction in Might & Magic: Heroes VI.

Lore[]

Necropolis is a town of undead ruled by Necromancers and Ebon Knights. They worship Asha, the Primordial Dragon of Order herself, but in a twisted version of her "Death" aspect. Believing that life is filled with chaos, fear and misery, they look upon death as clean, peaceful and orderly.

Branded as enemies and heretics by the cities of Silver League and the Holy Falcon Empire and not owning a land they can call their own (as they don't have a capitol city), they hide far away from the living, or in secret societies within the league or empire.

Tactics[]

The undead's biggest weaknesses are poor initiative and speed. But luckily they have instead 3 ranged creatures which usually will force the enemy to attack them. Unlike most other factions, Necropolis tactics generally involve destroying the enemy damage-dealers first and worrying about support creatures later. While the melee creatures attack the enemy's heavy hitters, the ghosts heal and the faction abilities raise. That way it does not matter how many Necropolis creatures fall in pursuit of killing enemy creatures. Of course, if there are enemy creatures with abilities that negate the hero's strengths, such as enemy healers to match the Necromancy ability, remove those threats first.
