Building the [[Unearthed Graves]] increases skeletons' growth by 6 per week.
With necromancy secondary skill it is possible to "harvest" skeletons by letting no [[wandering creature]]s to escape. If the hero has skeleton warriors and no empty slots, the necromancy will produce skeleton warriors to hero's army. However, the number of skeletons harvested is subject to their [[health]], which means that you will receive fewer skeleton warriors than skeletons, because skeleton warriors have more health points than skeletons.
 
If all slots are occupied and you only have Skeleton Warriors in your army, then Necromancy will raise only 2/3 of the numbers of regular skeletons as Skeleton Warriors.

With the necromancy secondary skill it is possible to "harvest" skeletons by attacking [[wandering creature]] stacks.
