the undead are the hardest race to control. but, the best if used correctly.
try to have only one undead per team. espicially if you ahve ateam full of noobs.
the noobs are undead they will ask for money, and thier excuse is that undead
needs extra money in the beginning. wrong. no race needs extra money in the
beginning. It'd just noobs don't know how to use their money well. like having
bush on your team. and don't even ask for them to rush. only skilled players
like me can get 5 spiders and a hero in the time it takes other races to get
5 units+hero. the undead can't stand up to hero, unit, or tower rushing very
well but wait until they get well into the game! they have awesome units and
great casters. if you are in fact hero rushed, you had better have a ziggurat
=necropolis=: the basic main building. it can't attack unless you upgrade. you
will only need one throughout the entire game. you can upgrade to halls of the
dead, and then something else.
-acolytes:
small, cloaked people who can only summon and repair buildings. they can attack
too, but i wouldn't recommend it. they stay at the haunted gold mine, so you
only need 6. 5 to get gold, and 1 extra to summon buildings. also, the building
summon themselves... no builders! just the one summnoer.
=alter of darknesss=: summons the lich, dread lord, death knight, and crypt lord. you can have a maximum of 3 heros. creepy looking.
-death
knight: the "favorite" hero. i don't know why, I think it's weak.
maybe the reason people like it is because it can run fast, and heal units.
i think it's the only undead healer in the game. the level six ability is the
same as the paladins: raises six fallen people from the dead.
=dread
lord=: my personal favorite. maybe beacsue of the voice, I dunno. the dread
lord has wings but can't fly. and if you click on him enough times he complains
about it. he can make enemy's fall asleep. but you can't attack them in that
state. he can throw bats at you, and something else. his level six ability is
he summons an infernal, possibly the best undead ability ever. woot.
=the lich=:
very underrated. people hate it becuase it is so slow. i would say this is the
"bad" hero for the undead. still, it has some sick moves, like the
freezing attack, and the frost shield. the level 6 attack is great. makes an
entire area detonate itself. make sure no enemy melee units are around the lich
when you do this attack. best for clearing towers, food buildings, and trees.
-crypt
lord: the new hero. basically, the undead were the only race that didn't have
a summon hero at the beginning of a game. the dread lord doesn't count(hehe
i made a pun) because you summon at level 6. now, with the addition of the dread
lord you can hero rush with undead! amazing.
=crypt=: the basic unit making building. it is just as impotant as the ziggurat and the alter. you can make ghouls and research cannibalize. after you make the graveyard you can summon crypt fiends, or "spiders" as they are called. upgrade your halls of the dead to research web. upgrade again to get gargoyles.
-ghouls: the
basic rushing unit for undead. fun to kill. remember: use these to harvest lumber.
you can research cannibalize to regenerate thier health.
-crypt fiends:
spiders are the basic troop type. massing them is always a good idea. remember:
spiders are nothing without web. unless you are rushing with them. but you need
to be really good at the game to do that. pretty much if you are the only undead
on your team you need to mass these. fully upgrading them makes them very unstoppable.
make sure that thye dont get in the way of bigger melee units suchs as tauren
or shamans.
-gargoyles:
the basic flying troop type. with 90/90 gargoyles you've pretty much won. i
don't use them, they take too long to train.
=graveyard=: the "stupid" building. like i said, all armies have one. the only reaosn you need this is so your ghouls can have a close place to put their lumber, you can research some good stuff. once you have thsi building, you can upgrade your ziggurats. at the crypt, you can research web, the best thing you can do for your spiders.
=ziggurat=: the food producing building. are excellent towers once you have the graveyard and you upgrade them.
=slaughterhouse=: one of the cooler undead buildings. you can make meat wagons, which are excellent siege buildings. then you can make abominations. you cna research disease cloud here too.
-abomination:
the undead equivalent of the tauren. very good in melee battle and siege. remember
to research gas cloud. remember to research disease cloud.
-meat
wagons: funny 'lil siege wagons. good for killing buildings and trees.
=temple=: an alternative choice than the slaughterhouse. summons necromancers and banchees.
-NECROMANCER:
they are probably the best melee unit in the game, because they cna summon zombies.
just upgrade to full and you have an invincible army. the only real useful melee
undead unit.
-BANCHEE:
weird witch like thigns.they have low hp and lowattack. however: they have this
displace soul attack that can control nay enemy unit as long as it isn't a flying
of hero. that a very good thing.
=sacrificial pit=:makes shades
-SHADE: a
scout that is supposedly invisible in the night.
=boneyard=: these are good for one reason: summoning frost wyverns.
frost wurm:
the very best unit in the game, btu due to upkeep restrictions you can only
have about 8 per player. they are an air unit, but can attack land units and
are excellent for sieging. because of thier slow attack speed, you must research
freezing breath to make towers not attack you.
