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 less skeleton warriors than skeletons, because skeleton warriors have more health points than skeletons.
