====Cinematic Briefing====
====Cinematic Briefing====
Our nation's goal was to kill the man who banished us from [[Erathia]]. However, [[Nighon]] and [[Eeofol]]'s subsequent invasion has done us an unexpected favor. [[Erathia]]'s strewn with the dead. For necromancers, this is the season of harvest. This is a season of war. Queen [[Catherine]] is a formidable foe. To defeat [[Erathia]]'s remaining military, we need a tactician greater than her. We have a plan... An ironic plan. While [[Catherine]] organizes the last stage of her war with [[Nighon]] and [[Eeofol]], you will sneak into [[Erathia]] and locate the [[King Gryphonheart]]'s Grave. Be wary. The region is occupied by scattered Erathian. When the gravesite is found, we will resurrect the dead king and make him our pawn. With [[King Gryphonheart]] commanding our armies, his former home will become land of the dead ???

Starting Options

The weakest starting bonus is the Scroll of Protection from Earth, because you will never use it. Next weakest is the Pendant of Death; it has little value in an undead vs. undead situation. However, it may allow you to pass a Border Guard in the next scenario, but this is too complicated to analyze, and you have no way of knowing about that yet anyway. But 25 Zombies make a real difference at the start of the scenario, and that is very important for the rest of the scenario.

Tips

  • This scenario has a bug-like feature, and it propagates through the rest of the campaign. There is an inaccessible region on the right side of the map. If you didn't get the Spyglass last scenario, then the Artifacts there, the Ogre's Club of Havoc and the Pendant of Death, cannot be obtained, unless you learn Fly or Dimension Door. These Artifacts presumably give you access to other inaccessible areas in the following scenarios.
  • You have to make an important choice early on. Do you invest heavily in your central city, and maybe lose it, or does that investment mean that you will be able to defend it better? In the event, it will not matter.
  • You do not have enough resources to build up both of your cities fully, and you shouldn't do that in any case. Ultimately, don't invest anything at all in second-level production buildings. Let your enemy do that, and then capture his cities. Just concentrate on pumping out troops. You are resource-limited in this scenario.
  • This scenario is easier than it looks. You start outnumbered 3-2, but the map is strongly compartmentalized, and the AI is not able to concentrate its forces effectively.
