Liches and Power Liches are level 5 creatures of Necropolis town. They are recruited from the Mausoleum. Both types of liches attack at range with a death cloud attack, which always causes damage in the target hex but also causes damage to all non-undead creatures in adjacent hexes. At hand-to-hand combat they defend themselves with blows from their scepters, suffering from melee penalty.

Death cloud special ability

The death cloud ability works when liches attack at range - melee attacks of liches do not cause death cloud to emerge. Their ranged attacks cause a "puff of death" that affects all 6 the adjacent hexes around the target hex dealing damage to living creatures within the radius (all non-living creatures (elementals, golems and undead) and war machines are immune to the splash effects of death cloud, but can still be hurt by liches if directly targeted).

Death cloud can also harm allied troops. If liches are in an army with living creatures and those creatures are standing within radius of liches death cloud, they, too, will be hurt by the ability.

Liches also defend Necropolis towns in arrow towers, but their attacks follow the arrow tower calculations, and do not apply the death cloud effect.
