Additionally, with [[Cloak of the Undead King]] it is possible to raise other undead creatures instead of Skeletons. However, the cloak does not affect the skill precentages. | |||
In {{hota}}, the skill precentages are decreased to 5%, 10% and 15%. | |||
== How does it work == | |||
All killed enemy creatures can be raised as skeletons. This includes [[sacrifice]]d creatures, [[clone]]d creatures, summoned [[elemental]]s and even [[war machines]]. If the victorious hero's army contains only Skeleton Warriors and thera are no empty slots available, the killed enemy creatures are raised as Skeleton Warriors instead of Skeletons. However, in this case only 2/3 of Skeleton Warriors are raised compared to Skeletons. If there are no available slots and no skeletons (either kind) in the army, none of the killed enemy creatures are raised. | |||
== How it | |||

The number of skeletons brought back at the end of the combat depends on three main factors: | The number of skeletons brought back at the end of the combat depends on three main factors: | ||

First, the total number of raised Skeletons can never exceed the number of creatures slain in combat.

Second, the total health of raised Skeletons can never exceed the total health of killed creatures. Third, the level of Necromancy skill used in calculations can never be more than 100%. Although it is technically possible for a hero to have Necromancy skill above 100%. These rules are applied to every killed stack individually, and always rounded down. In addition, at least one creature is always received from the combat where the winning hero has Necromancy skill of any level and creatures are killed. | ||
Additionally, with [[Cloak of the Undead King]] these same rules apply to [[Walking Dead]], [[Wight]]s and [[Lich]]es. As they have more health, less is raised. And if the hero only has upgraded versions, the "two thids rule" is apllied. | |||

Necropolis and Necromancy are often considered to be overpowered, and therefore frequently banned in multiplayer games (and tournaments). | Necropolis and Necromancy are often considered to be overpowered, and therefore frequently banned in multiplayer games (and tournaments). | ||
