Help on Mission 5
ok, I must be the only one with this problem, because I've read most of the posts on the necropolis campaign but have not found the solution im looking for.
Mission 5:
I got Godric's daughter Freyda (easy, she's in a prison right by Isabel's castle), i brought her to Lorekeep, then Godric didn't come, theres a small video with Markal saying "So he sent Angels instead..." so you kill those and thats where it kind of ends for me. Ive also eliminated both orange player ships. But yeah from then on nothing happens, the portal "destroyed by godric" and seaside is blocked so i cant do anything. The mission log says i have to find a way to get to him in 4 weeks, but this i cannot figure out. I have tried all I could think of from discovering every bit of the map to buying every structure in both castles and buying every artifact i could in the time from the artifact merchants. If anyones been in a similar position and figured out a way to get to Godric please tell me, or tell me if I've gone the wrong way about the mission and I should start over.

lol okay, i just went back and passed the mission in two weeks. But yeah it was a bug that i had the previous time, i did not receive the angel wings when i killed the angels (for some reason) so there was really no way to pass the mission then.

mission 5
If you want to have a easy time with this one, make sure Godric is weak. I built him too well, with full light magic. After I cast puppet master he casts magic immunity! I had to drain out his mana the hard way. He first casts mass divine might, I cast mass slow, he mass haste, I do mass slow, he haste, and repeat. I lost about half of my troops fighting his first army.
I attacked him on the last week, so after his first army goes down I had to face 250 angels, 100 paladin, 1k+ marksman, 3K swordsman. He is out of mana at that point so I can puppet master angels. But after angels killed the rest of his troops, there is still over 150 angels left. First try I lost ammo cart so skel archer was no good. Second time I managed to keep ammo cart alive, keep raise dead stacks to occupy angels and shoot with 1k skel archers. Took a long time. Thanks to endless mana it is doable.

250 angels? well im only playing on normal difficulty so there was like 5 angels after i killed his first army. The moral of the story is the game glitches and made it impossible to pass the mission :-)

I tried to rush Godric week 2 as well, didn't have a chance against his first army. Read up on my topic "necro challenge" to see why

I didn't really do anything with Godric except what was mandatory so my Godric was rather low level.

Combats with time limit on each move
Haven't seen anyone comment on this yet. On a couple of battles in Mission 3, there was a time limit on every one of my moves, and if time expired, a "Defend" was made. My hero got 19 secs to make a movie, while my creatures each got about 10 secs. A visual "countdown" was displayed over the hero/creature portrait. I found it very interesting, and I wonder if this was just hard-coded into this mission, or is something implementable by the mapmaker with the upcoming map editor.

That is the 'dynamic battle' thing, you can set it on from the options to all your combats if you want.

I had dynamic battle turned off in Options, but it was still on during those 2 battles. I read on another thread that it couldn't be turned off in a couple of instances in the Necro campaign...

You can turn it on for all battles from options. Several battles in campaigns are dynamic by design though, and this can't be turned off. Fighting druids in inferno campaign is dynamic by default, too.

Have you tried to actually go through the portal? The object isn't ticked completed until you do iirc.

it seems to me that missions sometimes get glitches and the appropriate event does not happen, the only thing to do is to try the mission again and it will probably work, just like it happened to me on mission 5 when i wasnt awarded the angels wings after killing the angels, so theres simply nothing u can do afterwards but start again. Besides most necro missions are simple, all undead join you, that is the greatest advantage you will ever get.

I have the same - I have 60+ bone dragons and 60+black dragons, but I still cant get after Cyrus. What should I do? I will try to produce precisely 20 bone dragons(ok it will take some 7 weeks of the game, 3*7=21)- but I dont know what to do. plz any hint

you dont buy them, you dont cheat, if the game is working properly, without bugs (and bugs do occur) then all you have to do is find a stack or 2 of neutral bone dragons and attack them so they will join you (as all undead creatures join Markal).

I'm getting slaughtered also. I don't have the spell "Frenzy" and the angels are immune to "puppetmaster"... Goodrich casts mass haste and the angels (250 of them) kill my 4k skeleton archers with one swipe. I try to cast "puppetmaster" on the 3k swordsmen he has but then Godric just cleanses them... meanwhile the angels are killing everything with one swipe!!
Does anyone know why this cheat dowsn't work:
@AddHeroeCreatures( "Markal",CREATURE_WRAITH, 1000 );
I hate cheating, but I can't get past this level and I've tried from scratch 4 times now.
The cheat says "No Hero named Markal"
I just want to get onto the next campaign, but it's locked.

To answer you directly you go with "Berein", Markal's "real" name.
It seems to me that a lot of people have reported seeing hundreds of Angels and Paladins with Godric. When I played this campaign twice on heroic (patch 1.1), all I saw was about 25 angels and 30 paladins. (on week 2 and week 3)
I wonder whether this is a bug or something...? Anyways, get the patch and try to fight him faster.
