oh ok,can you tell me about necromancers i mean how did this culture came to be, and to check are pit lords from inferno tier 1 creature

[fater3000]

pit lords are the inferno chamipon(tier3) creature

necromancers worship asha the dragon of order and creator of ashan and the other dragons however asha is seen to be 'above' such worship so the necromancers worsip a twisted version of her death aspect that they call the spider god (or goddess i cant remember). despite the fact that they do not worship a dragon god proper it does have power such as its servents the namtaru (or fate weavers) who are like the kirins are to shallasa and even an avater in the form of the mother namtaru who is the results of the wounds suffered by asha from her battle with urgash made manifest. the necromancers see themselvs are the keepers of the sacred balance of life and death. the necromancers currently mainly reside in the vale of heresh and in the silver cities where they are currently persecuted. in homm6 the necromancers are not an 'evil' faction and as such the empire has not seen a reason great enought to warrent the attempting to exterminate the cult. at the time of homm6 the necromancers as a faction are probably the weakest of the 5 factions (possibly barring the orcs) and so do not do much to antagonise the empire or the wizards for fear of annhilation. some necromancers do reside in the epire however, a notable example is sveltana who is the current high priestess of the cult due to her adventuring to an unknown land and bringing back the mother namtaru however she resides in the empire to also act as reagent of the griffin duchy if needed as she is still the sister of the former duke pavel of griffin and the great-aunt of the main protagonist of homm6

yeah i mean necromancers where good in homm 5 tribes of the east i mean arantir, but in homm5 markal was evil. but can you tell me why did sandor join up with orcs he could become a knight, and who do orcs(stronghold) worship in homm6

[fater3000]

sandor was bastard born and as such did not any right to nobility i.e. he couldnt have been a knight and he found he had more in commen with the orcs than his own people

the orcs do not worship a dragon god as they view them a symbol of their opression under the humans. instead they worship their made-up gods mother earth and father sky. as a result of this the orcs are not as good with magic as the other factions are and have to resort to rudimentary shamanistic spells and blood magic (although the blood magic is more potent for them as their blood is both human and demon)

thx, can you tell me what is the point with 4 forms of necropolis champion i dont understand it

[fater3000]

the necropolis champion can switch between 2 forms, the spider form is a ranged unit that does magic damage (so slightly more damage with a magic hero) and the 'human' form is melee that does (i think) might damage. the 2 forms have different activated abilities but both abilities are melee range. the 4 forms you have seen are probably 2 for the unupgraded and 2 for the upgraded

ok can you tell me what is conflux, i mean how does it work and is it good

[fater3000]

the conflux is the online aspect of homm6 and it has attracted a lot of critisim for having a lot of features as online only such as dynasy weapons and having seperate online and offline saves (altough in the next patch these will be merged i believe) as well as having a limit on the number of saves (10) you can have online. now these wouldnt have been such a problem if the servers were stable however they arnt (or wernt im not sure if they have gotten better or not as i only bought the game 2 months ago and have not yet experienced a server failure) causing large periods of downtime.

if anyone else can add anything feel free as i am not 100% on the conflux
