Yes or even better...
Make it 100-200% so you get extra skeletons too!

good idea, but i think if he were to destroy the ENTIRE stack it would give the necropolis an unbelievable advantage, so i think his death specialty should kill maybe 20% of the stack......what say you?

Really?
I'm shocked...
I though Necropolis should be the strongest...
I have an idea..how about changing skeletons into high level units? They are in many games powerful warriors...

so in which town does satan belong? as a symbol of harmony, satan could belong to the preserve, lol?
as far as i understand, satan is a symbol of vitality, personal goals, pride, opposition to forced order and a symbol of harmony resulting from no conflict between wrong and right.
so.. they are telling us that opposed to the archangel in the life town, the devil should be in the death town? as a symbol of (active) vitality, how could it belong to the mindless peace of the necropolis?
well, as my personal opinion goes, i would change the life and order towns around. so we would get an order town that has human creatures and an archangel and crusader on top levels. both are creatures that fight for wrong and right, i.e. the order that they feel appropriate, aren't they? also, in the academy town, there are creatures that combine bodyparts of various creatures (nagas), so where's the order.. on the other hand, they give life to inanimate statues to create gold golems in the academy. so the chaos town instead of the death town would be opposed (by it's name) to the order town with angels now.
if you take a look at paintings by hieronymus bosch that depict hell (you can find lots of them if you put the name of the artist into a search engine), this is the asylum town, right? so the medieval ppl thought that this is what hell is like..
also, in homm3, the inferno (devils) was allied with the dungeon (black dragons).
i am trying to say that the satan might suit the asylum town the best. the chaos hydra looks nice, but in homm2 it wasn't the top level creature either.. and the hydra doesn't look as strong as the black dragon and will also probably be weaker than the black dragon anyway.

well...
I must say I love the attention im getting 
Again the mix of necropolis and inferno units are WRONG WRONG WRONG. Demons are CHAOS units and should belong in the asylum or something. (Angels are also misplaced, they are actually order creatures, not life creatures, but thats another case). Some points:
Ghouls are not undead but they do belong in the necropolis because they hang around the dead and eat their corpses. Someone mentioned werewolfs. They are NOT undead and should belong with the preserve if they are put in the game. (I dont know why the wolfies are always put in with the dead guyz ). And whats wrong with mummys? they are very appropriate in a necropolis. Nightmares are demon-horses (I think) and should belong with the rest of the demons. Succubus/incubus are also demons.
How the reaper should work as a troop:
its special ability, invoke death, means it has a 5% chance of outright killing the number of creatures in a stack equivalent to the number of reapers attacking (ie 5 reapers attack 10 angels, they get lucky and invokes death, 5 angels die).

Your list is quite ok, but first the looks of the town should be more scary, don't you think? Not much of a dark cloud or dark sky, and not a single tomb to be seen in hmm4 necropolis, isn't that strange?

ok im really starting to get pis*** off now, i know i made this thread for necropolis ideas, but i still havent gotten a reply on my post 
So .. you really really want to get a reply?
Here's mine >>> First of all I think placing two shooters in Necropolis is inapropiate. Secundo: Your idea of "new town" is not that new...too many old stuff... Theird lease get a moment of inspiration and then try to make a new Necropolis town (is not as easy as you think!)

Maybe shooters are inapropriate for this town, but this I think will strengthen the necros in fighting other enemies; lets remember that in hmm3 Necropolis was less desirable because it was one of the weakest towns. So, because of my necro tendencies, I say: do what it takes to make them strong!

well, if i am here already and wrote it already, i might just post it in the correct thread (quoting a part of my long rant about computer games in some vampires thread).
uhh.. i have looked into some matters in the meantime and found some interpretations of pentagram (well, as pentagram is a part of many theories of aesthetics anyway) and maybe placing devil in necro does make some sense from the point of view of creation through destruction. and maybe humans in life town make sense from the point of view of mind dominating over body, i.e. the upright pentagram does seem to be kind of a symbol of enforcing order that way.
========
niteshade: well.. i hope you don't accuse me of changing my mind again. actually, it still is just one possible interpretation and creating through destruction should be the speciality of the chaos town, abut somehow the undead seem to be created through destruction of some sort, unless we look at them as a hades-like town (that i would appreciate most for roleplay variety, but it feels like that will not be the case in homm4). and my first gut reaction still remains significant as my first gut reaction. and the graphics issues of the towns and creatutes (i.e. asylum looking like medieval pictures of hell) are the same, etc. and what's so bad in changing one's mind from doubtful to doubtful anyway, especially if it's based on some reasoning *gripping a spiked club and threatening niteshade, but leaving instantly when recalling that there's still sth to do today before i go to sleep.* well, lol, have fun and enjoy yourself here, and maybe i will be back some day. i wish ozzy came and told us how things really are, as he claimed to be a specialist on that field or sth like that, as far as i understood one of his posts.

Or it will gonna happen in HOMM 4 ?
If it will happen... damn HOMM4 will be so f***ing good.
btw, devils in necropolis town is a bad idea. i know they are both are the bad guys but.. oh man. How about mixing them both into a new town ? like antagonist town or something XD lol.

I agree the devils I thought were a bad idea for a UNDEAD town a death knight or an undead abomination or something not-living would have been more appropriate. The devil I think just ruins the feel of the town. Wat do u guys think should replace it?

I think Inferno and Necro must be Seperated
The names after the / are not upgrades.
They are other names for the creatures.
So the Corpse Eather is just the same creature as Ghoul.. Only it's another name for him.
Necropolis
1)Ghoul/Corpse Eather
1)Shade/Black Soul
2)Nosferatu/Vampire
2)Lich/Necromancer
3)Banshee/Wailing Ghost
3)Black Knight/Death Knight
4)Grim Reaper/Master of death
4)Bone Dragon/Undead Dragon
Inferno
1)Imp/Familiar
1)Magog/Fire Elf
2)Gargoyle/Demonic Statue
2)Cerberus/Hell Hound
3)Succubus/Vile Witch
3)Nightmare/Doom Horse
4)Efreet/Demonic Genie
4)Balrog/Winged Demon

I know, the guys who replies this thread mostly love Necropolis... including me.. . But remember, everthing has a limitations. Dont make such an unbalanced town. Besides, the official guy wont do it without any possible reason.
The multiplayer game will be doomed once all peoples discovered that necropolis is so damn rude. No peoples will use Fortress, Castle, etc...

Those aren't upgrades
Another name for magog is fire elf...(In my mythology )
Because I have my own theory about magogs.. it all started because of the pointy ears of the magog and the movie lord of the rings(Orcs) Orcs in lord of the rings are tortured elves... Magogs In my story are also elves. But they are imprissoned by the demons and then tortured and thrown into the Hells hottest fire. The result was magog. A dark elf that has the ability to summon and command the fires of hell.
