it was there but there but it is useless, you cannot use it in hero creation:/

Well, it's probably just a dynasty portrait. It's kinda logical because Raelag was not a playable hero (we'll have to wait for the expansion), he only was shown in a cutscene...

And how was it fixed actually? They don't go back to life after the battle, so I assume the devs resigned from this (the description disappeared). You can only resurrect them in battle I presume? Or is it a bug?

And just one other question... is it right that necromancy is just healing? I mean where is the old beloved part where you would actually get more troops after the fight, resurrected from the fallen enemies? I have looked through the skills... but is this ability really gone?
I mean I do agree, that it was an advantage, but on the other hand nekropolis units were just so weak, that you needed so many to be strong.

Really ocasionally

I mean... for me it happened every time when I dragged them accidentally of the field. Acutally I was never able to put a big unit back to the field.
Of cause now I am a lot more careful, but still it sometimes happens. I have experienced it about ten to twenty times and never got the unit back :-(

Also, I think its kinda ridiculous that 20 Light Elementals can blind 30 Sacred Kirin for 3 turns lol.
