I think that necromancy for the necropolis faction should be slightly different, like the occultism is for warlocks for example.
So why not place unholy crusade to second place in the middle line (without the speed buff) and as the top perk for necromancy could be placed area version (the same area size of mass decay) of sorrow spell, as if casted on the advanced level, that is -3 luck/morale, without initiative decrease.
Besides that it’s defining skill for whole faction, it's supposed to have different meaning for the original group, perhaps just like with warlocks, only the necromancers should have different version.
But then again, whole faction is more changed and more related with that skill than other factions.

Hey Magno,
I have got a request regarding a mod called Fort of the Hill that is added in the EWA mod pack.
In short EWA is pack of the best h5 they have found (and managed to integrate).
you can download it here.
They say that Fort of the hill allowed the player to do another type of upgrade of the creatures. in his own words
Quote: In EWA in Fort on the hill you can improve you army in new alternative improvement available only in the Fort on the hill.
I admit I have not checked this out. I am already too busy with some new stuff for the external wheel.
P.S.
Also why are there 2 neutral creatures - black knight.xdb and death knight.xdb in GameMechanics\Creature\Creatures\Neutrals and which one is used in game?
If both are used where is the visual for black knight? I find only the one for death knight ( Textures\Interface\CombatArena\Faces\Neutral\ico_Death_Knight_64.dds )

The Hill fort is a TOE map object, not from that mod. there are 2 different hill forts (but on map they look the same), the more advanced type that can also retrain cannot be placed by the RMG (Hardcoded issue) but it can be added from within the mapeditor.

I've heard of NCF, but what exactly is it and what features can now be used with MMH5.5? I notice there is no NCF version for MMH55_Utility or MMH55_Editor - do these NCF versions of MMH5.5 change anything about the random map generator or editor?

MMH5.5 is just the exe without using the Quantomas-AI. For the map editor: It works more or less stable if you just patch your MapEditor-exe witch Deflaktors patcher. But I don't know if the ARMG is still working then, I only know that you can place all additional NCF creatures that way.

@psathka:
Thank you for your work
Based on the tests that were done more than a year ago, this version will be stable in singleplayer but may not be stable in hotseat when new creatures are actually installed. You can test this further if you want.
Since these are based on the exe files that aren't used for the RMG, I don't think the RMG will be affected, but I haven't tested that with creatures installed.

I take it that Death Knight is the "balanced" hero type for Necropolis?

@psatkha: I was wondering, are you still working on an NCF version of MMH55-Editor.exe?
Because if they can't be added by the editor and the RMG will crash with NCF, then how are people supposed to add the new creatures?

misc bug: the xdb of wolves say they are tier 4 creatures.
Do you consider them such tier? It is true they multiply but they stats are also half the other tier 4 units.
I think they are more like tier 3 cause they will put up same resistance as ghosts.

Hi Magnomagus, I tried out your mod and would like to thank you for breathing new life into an old game.
I have a few questions and observations for you:
1) Where does the fanfare music from the start screen come from? It's awesome!
2) I think that the light factions and magic factions(or magic heroes I mean) have advantages. I'm a bit surprised that Haven can get "Swift Mind" and "Teleport Assault" together. That combination is lethal with marksmen. Knowledge seems to be the most important attribute now, as it affects the regalia of the legion and most gold generating artifacts, so this favors magic factions. Divine vengeance is still very overpowered. A wizard almost wiped out my whole army with it. Meanwhile the fact that puppet master can be stopped by cleansing and anti-magic and frenzy only works on your own units weakens the dark side a lot. (Can necromancers even use frenzy on their own troops??? If not, they are potentially getting a worthless lvl4 spell)
3) Some of the special "monster structures" such as the orc tunnels, demon vaults, etc. are very hard to gauge with respect to difficulty. I once went into a "challenging" structure and met an army 10X the size of mine and completely unwinnable. Perhaps this can be tweaked? Right now I send low level heroes to find out what I deal with, but this is costly to do.
Overall, though, thanks for the good job!

Hi Rocky,
1. remix of homm2 main tune from heroes 6
2-3. you need to lower the difficulty as you are not developing fast enough compared to your surroundings, take in mind some very experienced players don't have this problem. This will also make you feel some stuff is OP, while it isn't. If the difficulty is still too high on normal with cheats off (casual game) you can shrink the size of neutral stacks to anything you want using the settings file:
http://www.moddb.com/mods/might-magic-heroes-55/tutorials/mmh55-customizing-town-management
you can modify stacks in- and outside buildings separately!
