Random learning

In homm2 there was very small but non-zero chance for a warlock to learn Necro on level-up. So it was "fixed" in homm3? It'd like someone to confirm it. Alliumnsk (talk) 10:49, 23 November 2018 (CET)

As far as the wiki is concerned there is no chance for a warlock to naturally learn necromancy. I have personally played warlocks many times and cannot remember ever being given the option to learn necromancy on level up. If you want to test this yourself, you could create a custom map with all the warlocks and use a repeatable event that gives a ton of experience. Test them all to see if any of them are ever given the option to learn necromancy. Restart the map and test until you are convinced. ―imahero 16:45, 23 November 2018 (CET)

Discussion

Necropolis and Necromancy are often considered to be overpowered, and therefore frequently banned in multiplayer games (and tournaments).

HC Thread

The thread on HeroesCommunity that is cited in this article is indeed an authoritative source on Necromancy, but the original post was later refined and corrected by other posters in that thread. I therefore rewrote most of this page in an attempt to make it shorter, more accurate, and better organized. -Entelechy

Edit 30/6: Previous edits about which creatures could be raised as skeletons contained some mistakes, as I verified through testing. They are now corrected. -Entelechy
