Editing Undead vs Unliving (section)

= From the Restoration of Erathia manual =
== Hero Types ==
=== Alchemist ===
Alchemists are skilled in physical and chemical magic, particularly so in the building and
'''animation''' of golems. Working their craft builds muscular strength, which makes Alchemists ready
learners of military skills as well. Their armor is composed of rare metal alloys created through their skill
in alchemy.

=== Death Knights ===
Death Knights are knights '''resurrected''' as liches. While they maintain their former
martial learnings, their new forms open them more freely to the learning of magic.

=== Necromancer ===
Necromancers are magic users seduced by the easy power of death magic. The price of
their art is its practice slowly drains life from its wielders—eventually '''transforming''' them into liches.

== Skills ==
=== Necromancy ===
When the hero wins in battle, a portion of the opposition killed is '''resurrected'''
as skeletons and added to the hero’s army.

Basic 10% of enemy creatures killed are '''resurrected'''.
Advanced 20% of enemy creatures killed are '''resurrected'''.
Expert 30% of enemy creatures killed are '''resurrected'''.

=== Morale ===
Each army has a morale rating which acts as a bonus to the individual morale of its troops. Troops in an
army with positive morale have a chance for a second action during their action phase. Troops with
negative morale have a chance of freezing each round. The morale rating for an army is normally zero
but is affected thusly:
: -1 if '''undead''' creatures are mixed with '''living''' creatures
: +1 if all creatures are of the same town type (except Necropolis)
: -1 for each town type mixed beyond two town types
'''Undead''' creatures and elementals have a '''morale of zero''', independent of their army’s morale rating.
Various creatures, spells, hero skills, town buildings, adventure sites, and artifacts can permanently, or
temporarily affect morale.

== Spells ==
=== Destroy Undead ===
Basic Effect All '''undead''' creature troops receive ((Power x 10) +10) damage.

creatures are restored permanently.

of creatures are restored.

=== Sacrifice ===
Basic Effect Target, '''non-undead''' troop is '''sacrificed''' (destroyed). Then another target
dead troop has ((Power + Destroyed Troop’s Creature Base Health + 3)
x # of Creatures '''Sacrificed''') in health total of creatures returned to life.
Advanced Effect Same as Basic Effect, except that health total of creatures '''resurrected''' is
((Power + Destroyed Troop’s Creature Base Health + 6) x # of Creatures
'''Sacrificed''').
Expert Effect Same as Basic Effect, except that health total of creatures '''resurrected''' is
((Power + Destroyed Troop’s Creature Base Health + 10) x # of
Creatures '''Sacrificed''').

== Creatures ==
=== Angels & Archangels ===
With their great offensive and defensive
power and flying ability, angels and
archangels are among the mightiest
creatures in the game. Both do 150%
damage when attacking devils.
Additionally, the archangel is able to
'''resurrect''' dead allied troops once per
combat.

=== Pit Fiends & Pit Lords ===
Pit fiends and pit lords attack with
tormenting whip blows. Once per
combat, pit lords are able to '''resurrect'''
dead allied troops as demons in place
of another action. The number raised
cannot be higher than the number of
pit lords performing the '''resurrection'''.

=== Skeletons & Skeleton Warriors ===
While skeletons and skeleton warriors are
average foot soldiers individually, it is
possible to build massively populated
troops of them. They are numerously
produced, are the main creature produced
by the Necromancy secondary skill, and
other creature types can be '''converted''' into
them at Necropolis skeleton transformers.

=== Walking Dead & Zombies ===
Walking Dead and Zombies are
magically '''animated''' corpses. Zombies
have a 20% chance to cause disease in
creatures they attack. Diseased
creatures have their attack and defense
ratings reduced by two for a period of
three rounds.

=== Wights & Wraiths ===
Wights and wraiths are life destroying
spirits damaging their opponents by
draining life. The first wight or wraith
in each troop '''regenerates''' all lost
damage at the beginning of each
combat round. While wraiths appear
on the battlefield, two spell points per
turn are drained from an enemy
spellcaster’s spell pool.

=== Vampires & Vampire Lords ===
The attacks of vampires and vampire
lords cannot be retaliated against.
Vampire Lords are able to '''resurrect'''
members of their own troops by
replenishing health equal to the
amount of damage they inflict on others.

=== Liches & Power Liches ===
Liches attack at range with a death
cloud, which always causes damage in
the target hex and also attacks all
'''non-undead''' creatures in adjacent
hexes. At close range they defend
themselves less efficiently with blows
from their scepters.

=== Black Knights & Dread Knights ===
Knights have a 20% chance of cursing
opponents they strike. Cursed creatures
inflict only minimum damage in their
own attacks. Dread knights’ attacks
also have a 20% chance of inflicting
double damage death blows.

=== Bone and Ghost Dragons ===
Bone and ghost dragons are raised from
dragon corpses. Both of these
creatures have a ferocious biting attack
and lower the morale of enemy units by
one when they appear on the battlefield.
Ghost Dragon attacks have a 20%
chance of aging their targets. Aged
troops have the hit points of all their
members halved.

=== Stone & Obsidian Gargoyles ===
Stone and obsidian gargoyles are
demon-form statues '''animated''' for use
as troops. They attack with raking
claws.

=== Stone & Iron Golems ===
Stone and iron golems are built and
'''animated''' through a process involving
both precise craftsmanship and
complex magic. Though slow, they are
strong and durable combatants. Stone
golems take half damage from spell
attacks, while iron golems take only a
quarter of such damage.

== Neutral Creatures ==
These creatures are not associated with any particular town type but may be found wandering the lands
of Erathia. All elementals and golems have neutral morale and immunity to poison. Some locations found
on the Adventure Map may offer these creatures up for recruitment.

=== Gold & Diamond Golems ===
Like the stone and iron golems found in Tower towns, diamond and gold golems are highly crafted statues
'''animated''' through magic. Spells have only a 15% chance of affecting gold golems and a mere 5%
chance of affecting a diamond golem.

=== Elementals ===
Air elementals are powered by the same forces as
Air Magic. They are immune to the Blind and
Meteor Shower spells. They take double damage
from Firestorm, Lightning Bolt, and Chain
Lightning.

Earth elementals are forces of Earth Magic. They
take no damage from Lightning Bolt, Chain
Lightning, and Firestorm spells. They take double
damage from Meteor Storm attacks.

Fire elementals are burning spirits of Fire Magic.
They are immune to all Fire School spells, but
they take double damage from Ice Ray and Frost
Ring attacks.

Water Magic '''animates''' the water elemental. These
creatures are Immune to Ice Ray and Frost Ring
spells, but take double damage from Firewall,
Combustion, Fireblast, and Fireshield attacks.
