Necromancy

Main

Necromancy

Necropolis

Bas.: 4% of defeated enemies' HP is converted into allied Undead HP after each victory. This adds new units to all existing Undead stacks and doesn't create new ones.

Adv.: 6% of defeated enemies' HP is converted into allied Undead HP after each victory. This adds new units to all existing Undead stacks and doesn't create new ones.

Exp.: 8% of defeated enemies' HP is converted into allied Undead HP after each victory. This adds new units to all existing Undead stacks and doesn't create new ones.

• 
  it evenly distributes between each unique stack at the end of the fight. 1 stack (not all 6) of skeletons and 1 stack of dk will get 50% hp. or if all skeletons die, dk gets 100% health

• the amount of HP of the enemy units you defeat gets distributed evenly to your army. Not entirely to 1 stack, or the full amount of hp TO ALL STACKS

• so it does apply to UNIQUE stacks only, even if you have 7x skeletons, only the highest number stacks gain units

• upgrade units are different stacks and will be counted.

• insufficient HP is destroyed, and you don't get an extra unit

• Excess health is not distributed to other squads now, but this is a debated point
