This guide is designed to help you defeat 4 to 7 allied Emperor-level AI opponents using the strong race/class combination of Draconian Necromancer, but most advice applies equally well to any Necromancer regardless of race.

Other helpful resources include Hiliadan's AOW3 Wiki tutorial videos webpage and AOW3 Strategy and Tactical Guide webpage. I've learned a lot from these folks since I started playing AOW3 in 2016. For introductory and advanced strategy video walkthroughs for AOW3 more generally, Bob at Black Arrow Gaming is good for foundational strategy, whereas Hiliadan and Marcus Persson are good for pro-level strategy. You can read up on this information at Fandom's AOW3 website, if necessary. This guide assumes you are familiar with basic AOW3 gameplay and strategy, as well as the Necromancer units, Empire Upgrades, Strategic Spells, and Combat Spells.I also provide advice for certain other race/class combinations in the 'Challenge' sections toward the end of the guide. This is an advanced strategy guide for playing Necromancer on Age of Wonder III (v1.802) with all DLC installed (i.e., Golden Realms + Eternal Lords expansions).They also have strong front liners (berserkers, lifestealing phalanx (one of the best)) that is bulky enough even with the -5hp penalty)Īny other suggestions welcome. You can then incorporate different damage types and bulkier front lines from taverns or other races.ģ) Goblin warlord is able to summon goblin untouchables (cheap throwaway unit) at an negligible cost. Once your swarm darters hit critical mass with 2-3 armies they can kill everything. Alternatively, One point into fire allows you to summon fire hounds.Ģ) Try not to go for harder camps and avoid taking losses. To maximise this benefit.ġ) Try to combine summoning classes like archdruid and summoner to have a front liner while your ranged darters levels up. They have an overreliance on physical and blight damage but their units are really cheap. Goblin front line units are weak (lower hp) but the swam darters are exceptionally powerful (if they don't get one shot).
