| And I also see many necros here dont reallise that Cloack of Winds is the best thing for back,not MH Bow or (unenchanted)longbow...remember necro is a defenseve faction afterall xD! |
| I normally wear cloak of spirits. Helps to raise more at once if you have a traditional raise build. I only wear cloak of winds when I know I will be fighting druids (lightning is air damage) or anything else that causes air elemental damage. |
| Yeah but I am talking about thieving here,and caravans deal strong air damage |
| But Bow always useful for all caravan. Cape of wind only against Wiz, DE n Elf with druid {about 33% chance to be useful, 66% useless} |

purely bowmen are useless in ambush fight,that why we need minimum skeleton bowmen.if you equip a longbow,just because it is a weapon that can be enchanted or you can even that back blank |
purely bowmen are useless in ambush fight
Why, atleast bowmen shot once at battle |
| quin is right..skeles only use is to suck suck and suck dmg!! |
But I love skellies!
Their damage are awsome |
Hi,
What is the best built for ambushing as a level 9 necro ?
Thx |
| Fully equipped DE with enchantments travelling to be caught in abmushes are so annoying lol. Any piece of advice how to defeat them with a necro? |
| max vamps,max skele,max zombs,max lich in this order |

I caught DE with medium arts. He had no choice :D. They are absolutely lost on big field :D |
Thats great!
But what happen if the DE was full art? |
I haven't hit a full art DE yet, since the upgrade, but I have been having great success against DE caravans. I won several today, with relative ease. It's a big plus for us that their shrews can't get to us on the first turn anymore. Gives us a chance to pare them down some before they hit.
I've been using the following layout, which has been working pretty well, but I'd love to hear how other Necro's are arranging their troops:
Top Left corner: Liches
Bottom Left corner: 1/2 skels, 1/2 appa's, vamps
Top Right corner: 1/2 skels, 1/2 appa's, infected's
So far, the AI has always gone after the troops in the lower left and mostly ignored everything else, leaving my liches and half my skels free to fire at will. How is everyone else handling troop settlement? |
| Tnx Slynky, i have to try this settlement because caravans are so hard and i lost many. Is this settlement good for all caravans ? |
I just started using the formation yesterday.
So far it has worked on every caravan I have tried, but those have mainly been DE caravans today. I did fight 3 or 4 human players today and it worked well against them too. Give it a try and let me know how it works. |
for Goku_30:
better to save money for the upcoming dwarf war events than for thieving. |
Oh no! You are in a rush to reach TG2 within 10days.
Use full arts to make it possible! |
My success with the troop placement mentioned in Post #214 has continued. I have fought DE, Elf, Knight, and Barb caravans now and won most with relative ease. I took a quick glance and I think I've won 13 straight now, so I'll stick with this troop settlement until it no longer works for me.
Any other Necro's having success with different troop placements? |
