If playing of small maps with weak defenders then yes destruction is better. Yes undead plague and killing stuff is faster.īut expander is a constant, upkeep free buff, that gives you that tiny extra bit.Īlso sometimes the rng gods screw you over so badly that undead plague and killing isnt going to happen anytime soon. Nice but i dont play on maps where 2 or 4 turns are that big of a different.Īgain nice but necromancer already have many ways to incease there damage vs others.īlight domain.undead dont get terrian panelties/bonus. Good to take towns and dont need gaurds, Downside mana upkeep.įast raiding: decrease time it takes to loot a time. Perhaps Destruction adept, instead, would make it up for the 'meh' spell? ) I considered that: It seems like you intentionally handicap yourself in your Leader builds by taking Expander, in my opinion. I would take something else for the Necromancer. Killing stuff and undead plague counters it more. Quite a bit faster for scouting/flanking than the dreadreaper).Originally posted by Malaficus Shaikan:Expander counters the undead lack of natural growth. I go for shadowborn mastery to get mab's boon (synergizes with quick migration), entwined by shadows (just an awesome skill that adds much-needed resistances and some good damage), and the fallen angels (not the best for some things, but a fun unit to have.

Like others are mentioning, shadowborn is almost a must-get for the lifesteal. Rugged pioneers is the weakest, but it's still hella useful if you're escorting a pioneer or want to stick a fortress near that mythic structure you just cleared. Expansionism and fertility rites are obvious choices, especially considering how slow the Necromancer can grow if you lose a few units early and can't fight some of the tougher groups (then you have to make units instead of making, say, a master's guild, which delays you even more, etc.) These two researches help begin the snowball. Swift migration is awesome - goes well with shadowborn and makes a huge difference in hotly-contested areas. I generally play on larger maps and so expander is almost essential.
