If you have [[Skeleton Warrior]]s, and no empty army slots, you'll get [[Skeleton Warrior]]s instead of skeletons from [[necromancy]], but only 2/3 of normal numbers.
'''Skeletons and Skeleton Warriors''' are the level 1 creatures of [[Necropolis]]. They are recruited from the [[Cursed Temple]]. They can also be generated by [[Necromancy]]. Building the [[Unearthed Graves]] increases skeletons' growth by 6 per week.

{{user commentary|
With the necromancy secondary skill it is possible to "harvest" skeletons by attacking [[wandering creature]] stacks. If the hero has skeleton warriors and no empty slots, the necromancy will produce skeleton warriors to the hero's army, instead of normal skeletons, but only at 2/3rds the rate. Normally, it is more convenient to have regular skeletons and then upgrade them, since almost 50% more skeletons (2 skeleton warriors -> 3 regular skeletons) is worth more than the cost/convenience differential. A small downside of this is that regular skeletons slow your army due to lesser movement.
