Is it automatic?

Yes. After the battle ends and you're back to world map, a little window just pops up saying X of creature Y were resurrected.

it doesn't occur for me, so i'm guessing the GG DD version is bugged, both the 1.6.4 and 1.6.5 versions. and going through the skills files it doesn't have any scripts designated to the skill which means it's hardcoded, so GG users are curently SOL.

It worked for me. I have the atari version...

Yep, I played my first game with the Necro skill tagged, and I never saw this popup at all. And I downloaded from Gamersgate.

does it only work if your entire troop dies? that's the way the skill reads. I've not invested points in it to check b/c it doesn't seem very useful if your troop has to die completely.

[Zhuangzi]

Well, if that's the case then it's not worth having, bman. There are much better skills to invest in.

In terms of the three spell classes, I am thinking now that Distortion is the best discipline of them all. It has very useful spells like Haste, Slow, Trap, Phantom and perhaps Pain Mirror too. By contrast I am finding Order to be less important. Chaos is poor early (except for level 1 fireball which owns everything at the beginning of the game as a Mage). However, Chaos becomes very important in the endgame. Therefore I would put the order of priority for upgrading, when playing as a Mage, as this:

1. Distortion

2. Chaos (hard to get to in the early game)

3. Order

Thoughts on the above? Am I selling Order short?
