| Author | should i change to dark elf at level 8? |
|---|
| i was thinking, with the shrews, they completely rule the duels (which i play often) and can own shooters before they even deal much damage. however, im a very experienced necro (reached racial skill 6 necro sometime ago) and i am wondering if liches and infected zombies are a better deal. |
This should probably be in Q&A.
Well, let's set things right, DE's don't completely rule the duels. Also, you're only a racial skill 5 Necro. DE does seem like an easy transition, though, as the racial ability of DE only really affects magic DE (aside from the slight initiative increases, of course).
The biggest problem for you would be finding the gold to be able to switch as you are at level 7 with just over 400 enrolls. It will cost you well over 100k. My final thought, just stick to Necro. |
| Topic moved from "General game forum" to "Queries and help". |
not for now. Main reason, not enough gold.
Collect enough money first, then you only change faction. But I can tell you, Necros do rule on higher levels too.
just stick to Necro. =) |
| up to you many players benefit from the shrew factor until higher levels when your favorite faction is pretty good no matter what it is ) |
up to you
He got 10 000 gold.
The castle costs 40 000 minimum (without poisoners, warehouse, blacksmith, underground depot, magic guild I and II) |
| Setting of his goal need not be so short sighted as to be constrained by his starting balance sven QQ |
of course i know it- thats why i said when i "level up"- theres a free 30k! and besides, i dont need poisoners, warehouse, blacksmith etc because i already have them in my necro faction ( eg i can sell items in the market with my necro faction). so, 10k + 30k= 40k. and besides, from now till then, i could save another 20k just by enroliing ( 40 k exp more to go)
Anyways, money is not the important thing here. my question is:
at what level does necro rule? at what level do shrews start being not so important anymore?
and, at level 8, do necros generally do better against dark elves with shrews?
Thats my question.

shrews, they completely rule the duelscan own shooters before they even deal much damage
Both are untrue. Necros own at level 12. They're good at level 10 and up also though.
DE's worst nightmare are shooters.. shrews certainly won't destroy shooters and they aren't even that great all and all. Definetly stay necro. Shrews never lose/gain important IMO... always pretty much the same. |
| If you love pvp, just stay in necro. Very good in pvp at high level |
and remember too. the higher your racial, the more skeles you'll get. So... they are the one who should be scared of you. Don't forget to equip luck items.
Both liches and infected zombies are useful. |
ok. thats fixed then. Im staying necro.
Should i max IF or ghosts at level 8? |
| Your army reflects your intention and your chosen target. So against heavy att/def enemies infected are required and against low att/def enemies you need the higher damage of the ghosts. Also tailor your chosen talents to the task ahead. Why just bounce along with a default army, why not specialize your army for each battle? |
thats right. i mean for group battle? is ghost better or IF better?
I think if is better- since there are many strong stacks. but wizs... the troops are all weak, so i dont need IF, yet ghosts are easily killed by wiz hero. so how? |
| shrew are not so powerful if they are fighting with ranged units...so i dont think u should change your faction |
Should i max IF or ghosts at level 8?
If you ask me, I'm staying with max ghost even if they have low hp. Infected zombies are too slow and by the time they reach the opponents' side, it'll be a weak zombie. Anyway, it's all about you.
Try playing with them and find which suits you. Such as infected are good in MG monsters quest but ghost is good at hunting (and not only) to protect your skele archers. |
| i think change 2 de coz necros dont have morale n neither have initiative to replace that ,less speed ,less hp ,high costing talent pts and less talent sectors like luck,liches r shooters n their upgrade is not beneficial coz arch liches have less hp and useless mana , de is beneficial in caravans as the opponents hit high level creatures than shrews that survive at end, Infected zombies are too slow with very very less initiative |
| i'm confused that though moderators know that d.e. is a bit stronger faction ,y isnt somethin done to weaken them or make other factions stronger so that they can emulate de.they can persuade the designers of the game to do something |
i changed from necro to DE at lvl 8 and it was a tottally new dimension...
slow troops -> fast troops... my decission made, cuz i wanted to try out shrews, and necro was hell weak with inf zombs or without...
result: TG made to lvl 2 in about 16 days, lvl up to combat skill 10 in 1,5 month...
of course burnt a lot of money... it took another 1,5 month to somewhat regain my wealth...
so if anybody decides to change:
1. have a lot of money
2. have good arts
3. watch the new faction's strategy
4. consider the new faction weak! (faction lvl starts from 0) (so probably even weak and dumb players will beat u in PvP) |
Wow- so many different viewpoints here.
The questions really are:
1 How often does necro beat de at level 8? how often does de beat necro at level 8? ( assuming they are same AP)
That is duel.
2 How about in group battles? do the stats change then?
3 Then what about ambushes? |
