Ok, lets speculate a bit!
As we know, the second campaign in the expansion is about Necropolis. Anyone knows why? I like necro, so no complains, just a bit strange considering Danse Macabre was necro as well...
do you think any chance of some necro changes? Hiring neutral mummies or ghost dragons? Skill changes?
Also neutral Hydras would be fun!..

I don't find it surprising as the void storyline is central to H6 events. Or soon will be. Sandro has set things in motion

There's more possible DLCs, expansions and spin-offs.
Don't be so hasty

The second campaign will most likely end with a cutscene showing some wizard dudes talking about how they must take measures against the necromancers or something.

Personally, I hate the fact that we get yet another necropolis campaign.
Its almost like Ubi has a Necro-fetish
Just look at this
Heroes V - A full campaign and one of the bigest villains = Necromance Markal
Heroes V HoF - Surprisingly nothing (well except one scenario with Giovany)
Heroes V ToE - Again a full campaign with new character = Protagonist Arantir
Dark Messiah - Arantir shows up again, This time as the main antagonist.
Clash of Heroes - Again a full campaign for necropolis = Markal acts as a side-kick of the protagonist, a new villian Ludmila
Heroes VI - A full campaign, Ludmila acts as a side-kick, It is the faction with the most special dynasty heroes you can obtain.
Heroes VI DLC - One of two focused on necropolis. Adding a small campaign.
Heroes VI SoD - Again a full campaign is announced.
Duel of Champions - One of the main antagonist is again a necromancer.
So Ubi.. why the heck do you focus so much on those undead.....

Maybe they're trying to relive past glories such as Shadow of Death and Half-Dead?

Been a while, but Double Deck is back!
Shades of Darkness: my thoughts
1. Makes sense that the 2 campaigns are for Dungeon & Necro, as the Dark Elves caused the disease of the Mother Namtaru. Also Sandros story is linked here too.
2. Wiki mentions about 20 new neutral creatures and 10 new buildings. Can this be true? Seems a bit too much although would be great!
3. Of new buildings: Memory Mentor is probably an instant abilities respec? (ie not waiting for level 10 or 20)
4. Dungeon is Dark Magic linked, same as Necro. Not sure I like this although if Academy is Prime linked, and Sylvan is Earth linked then makes sense as have used up all magic schools for factions, although would have been cool if Dungeon is Fire linked (seems more destructive and closer to my favorite game H5 although I know two different games)
5. Racial ability: "Coils of darkness reach out to smite their enemies" makes me think that the racial could debuff enemy units with blindness (even necro) with the power of the Void. Either this, or Invisibility on own troops.
6. Everyone is mentioned the Minotaur to be Elite. Has this been confirmed? Like most other factions, there needs to be a solid, shock infantry in Core line up and the two dark elves and lurker don't give this). Also with there only being 2 dark elves (and 5 monsters) should they not be spread out so that 1 dark elf is Core and the other in Elite?

You really think that in story of Sandro, who has now Mask of False Face (he can shapeshifting like Feceless - more or less), Dark Elves are the one who poisoned Mother Namtaru, holy creature of Spider Cult from whom Sandro was banished?

It would be great but as you see Black Dragon doesn't have new model so 20 new neutral models seems "a little" to many.

Rest assured that Minos will be very Elite.

@Double
Where the he.. did you get those numbers for the "Neutral units" 20!?! That is a hell of a lot and Ubi could actually get some plus points for this.. Isn't it more lik 20 new units (14 faction, 2-4 bosses and the rest would be neutral)

Dave, Necro is a "Cool" faction, it sells very well. That's why it has so much presence, just like "human" faction

If I'm not mistaken, they'll be 2 new neutral. Someone check CH Q&A

JJ said quite some things about this in the last pages

Yes, minos elite. Most likely 2 Dark Elves + Lurkers at core, Minos, Mantis and Faceless as Elite, and Dragons as Champion
