'''Morale''' represents [[troop stack]]'s willingness to fight. High morale can allow creatures to receive an extra attack during [[combat]] round, while low morale can cause them to freeze and lose the turn. Good morale is received after the troop stack has acted, which means that the creatures will have a chance to act again immediately. Bad morale happens at the very beginning of creature stack's turn, and causes them to "freeze in panic".

The morale value of a creature stack can vary from -3 to +3. The game manual erroneously states the probability of receiving good or bad morale is equal at 1/24 (4.17 %) times morale value. As shown in the table on the right, it is more probable to receive bad morale than good morale. The troop stack's morale value is mainly determined by army's morale rating, which acts as a bonus to the individual morale of its troops. Thus the creature stack's morale can differ from hero's army's morale. Army's morale can be affected in various ways, which are listed below.

Golems, undead and elementals are unaffected by morale, meaning that their morale rating is always zero.

* [[Soul Prison]]: +20% Necromancy; bonus stacks if you have multiple towns with this building via [[Map Editor]]

== How it works ==
All killed '''enemy''' creatures can be raised as skeletons. This includes [[sacrifice]]d creatures, [[clone]]d creatures, summoned [[elemental]]s and even [[war machines]]. If the victorious hero's army has no empty slots available and no [[Skeleton]]s, but includes [[Skeleton Warrior]]s, the killed enemy creatures will be raised as Skeleton Warriors, but only 66.6% compared to Skeletons. If there are no available slots and no skeletons (either kind) in the army, none of the killed enemy creatures are raised.

The number of skeletons brought back at the end of the combat depends on three main factors:
# Number of creatures in killed stacks
# Amount of health of killed stacks
# Level of Necromancy skill

First, the total number of raised Skeletons can never exceed the number of creatures slain in combat. Second, the total health of raised Skeletons can never exceed the total health of killed creatures. Third, the level of Necromancy skill used in calculations can never be more than 100%, although it is technically possible for a hero to have Necromancy skill above 100%. These rules in {{sod}} are applied to every killed stack individually (in {{hota}}{{-wh}} the amount of creatures raised is calculated by the overall number of killed creatures), and always rounded towards 1.

The health of the enemy creature killed affects the efficiency that it is revived as per table:

1 hp = 16.6% efficiency 
2 hp = 33.3% 
3 hp = 50% efficiency 
4 hp = 66.6% efficiency 
5 hp = 83.3% efficiency 
6 hp or higher = 100% efficiency 

So a hero with 50% necromancy, who killed 100 creatures with 6 hp or higher, will obtain 50 skeletons, whereas if he were to kill 100 peasants (who have only 1 hp), only 8 skeletons would be obtained. This can be also interpreted as the hero being able to revive only 50 hp total (8 skeletons have 48 hp).

Additionally, with [[Cloak of the Undead King]] the same rules apply to [[Walking Dead]], [[Wight]]s and [[Lich]]es. As they have more health, fewer are raised. And if a hero only has upgraded versions in the army and no free slots, the "two thirds rule" is applied (the health difference between basic and upgraded creatures does not play any role in this case).

{{user commentary|
Necromancy is the basis of [[Necropolis]] faction. By default there cannot be a Necropolis hero without this skill, so if a very important basic skill like [[Wisdom]] or [[Earth Magic]] is offered together with improving Necromancy, ignore Necromancy. You will get it sooner or later, while an ability to learn [[Animate Dead]] and cast it properly won't appear for every level. However, if your hero wears [[Cloak of the Undead King]], expert Necromancy is exactly what you need, as rising [[Lich and Power Lich|Liches]], the only Necropolis shooters with good stats, will make you almost invincible. In that case you might want to avoid battles prior to getting expert Necromancy, as 2-3 level Necropolis troops are significantly weaker than many other units of those levels.

For heroes from other towns, the Necromancy skill is undesirable as Skeletons are weak, slow and will spoil [[morale]], and getting somewhat 5 Skeletons after a minor battle will be a total nonsense. Thus, if Necromancy came to a non-Necropolis hero, a better decision is to reload the game and avoid the source of it, unless your game is dedicated to Necropolis - if so, you may hire a supplying hero regardless of the class, who will increase the number of Skeletons.

Necropolis and Necromancy are often considered to be overpowered, and therefore frequently banned in multiplayer games (and tournaments).

While a hero might level up from an encounter and as a result increase their necromancy expertise - e.g. from basic to advanced - the level that is applied to the encounter ''is the one the hero had already attained when the encounter started''. Level ups in necromancy, when they are attained by winning an encounter, only apply to encounters going forward.

Day of Reckoning

2025-07-23T09:08:20Z

Hannibal 1001: Uploaded missing image & adjusted size of image for HoMM 3: Day of Reckoning. Image source: https://old.reddit.com/r/heroes3/comments/1fc3q8l/heroes_3_day_of_reckoning/

{{speculative}}{{about|'''Day of Reckoning''' is an unofficial expansion on the same level as {{ab}}, {{sod}}, and {{hota}}.}}
[[File:Day of Reckoning.png|682px|thumb|right]]

'''Day of Reckoning''' (or '''DoR''') is a comprehensive expansion for ''Heroes of Might and Magic III'', designed as a continuation of the classic [[Restoration of Erathia|RoE]]/[[Armageddon's Blade|AB]]/[[Shadow of Death|SoD]] expansions and akin to [[Horn of the Abyss|HotA]].

The project aims to complete the story of the Heroes III game by introducing elements tied to [[the Reckoning]] event, the cut [[Forge (NWC)|Forge]] content, and fill story gaps such as, for example, what [[Adelaide]] did during her stay in [[Vori]] or what happened between [[Dragon's Blood]] and [[Clash of the Dragons]]. In the spirit of the official expansions, it adds new features that both reference other ''Might and Magic'' elements and increase the depth of the gameplay, aiming to stay true to both the canon of the universe as well as the design philosophies of the game. The Forge-related elements are designed in consultation with Heroes III lead designer [[Gregory Fulton]] to stick as close as possible to the original concept and intent of the faction; including the ability to disable it outside of campaign maps.

Just as {{ab}} introduced elite units (the [[Enchanter]] and [[Sharpshooter]]) and {{sod}} introduced [[combination artifact]]s, Day of Reckoning introduces alternative units in the fashion of ''Heroes of Might and Magic IV''. For example, a Palace town can produce either [[Nisse]] or [[Viking]]s, but not both. Pre-existing factions also get alternative units, such as Dryads for Rampart and Wood Elementals and Metal Elementals for Conflux. Pre-existing neutrals such as the [[Enchanter]] and [[Sharpshooter]] will be added to certain factions—not to recruit—but to fit in lore-wise and to negate the morale penalty with mixing factions.

A few elements have been derived from previous works of members of the team, such as the Tides of War mod or some of the Mod Design Team towns. Any such element, however, has been reworked to fit better with the concept of the expansion.

Unlike [[In the Wake of Gods]]-based mods, Day of Reckoning's new towns are added to the game without replacing any existing towns. The mod requires ''[[Shadow of Death]]'' or ''[[Heroes of Might and Magic III Complete]]'' to run.

== Features ==
;New towns
* {{town|Palace}} -- good-[[alignment|aligned]], [[Vori]] elves, nisses, and vikings
* {{town|Grotto|link=User:Phasma/Grotto}} -- neutral-aligned, the dark elves and gnomes who guarded the [[World Tree]] and were exiled to [[Jadame]] before most of the events in Heroes 3. Has a town building that boosts heroes' spell power, in the same way as the [[Necropolis]] has a building that boosts [[Necromancy]].
* {{town|Forge|link=User:Phasma/Forge}} -- evil-aligned, the dystopian perversion of the [[Heavenly Forge]] by [[Kastore]]. The Forge is optional and can be toggled on or off before each match. It has a [[war machine]] focus, with replacements for existing war machines, a coilgun (presumably instead of ballista) from the basic blacksmith and another from a blacksmith upgrade, which is not decided yet between howitzer (catapult replacement?), ammo cart replacement, or first aid tent replacement.

** Fortified walls and [[garrison]]s themed after each town faction.
** Flaggable buildings that increase a secondary skill (e.g. [[Offense]] or [[Resistance]]) of all allied heroes, in the same way as [[lighthouse]]s increase movement points at sea for all allied heroes.
** New banks, including with new types of reward, such as increasing mana.
** New spell shrines, including for specific spell schools or spell types instead of spell levels.
** New types of [[Treasure Chest]]s.
* Several new [[artifact]]s, including the [[Sword of Frost]]. New sets of artifacts, or even combination artifacts, themed after each faction, old and new.
* Full compatibility with [[Heroes 3 HD]].
* A search function for spells and artifacts.
* Keyboard shortcuts for spells.
* A zoomable map.
* New water shader for the water terrain.
* New spells for each school. The new Water and Fire spells will be overall more powerful than the new Air and Earth spell, to balance out Air and Earth being overall more powerful in base Heroes III.
* Potentially new [[road]] types, based on a hint that "asphalt and concrete and all that stuff" can have "other applications than a terrain".

Hannibal 1001: Added note on Necromancy level ups from encounters not affecting raised skeletons from the encounter where the level up was attained

{{Secondary skills}}
{{Secondary skill
| B_effect = 10% of enemy creatures killed are [[Animate Dead|resurrected]] (5% in [[HotA]]){{-wh}}.
| A_effect = 20% of enemy creatures killed are [[Animate Dead|resurrected]] (10% in [[HotA]]){{-wh}}.
| E_effect = 30% of enemy creatures killed are [[Animate Dead|resurrected]] (15% in [[HotA]]){{-wh}}.
}} '''Necromancy''' is a [[secondary skill]] that enables the hero to raise killed enemy creatures as [[Skeleton and Skeleton Warrior|Skeletons (or Skeleton Warriors)]]. All [[Death Knight]]s and [[Necromancer]]s start with basic Necromancy skill, except [[Isra]] the [[Death Knight]] and [[Vidomina]] the [[Necromancer]], who both start with advanced Necromancy. Other hero classes cannot learn Necromancy, but they can acquire it from [[Scholar (Adventure Map)|Scholar]]s, [[Pandora's Box]]es, [[Seer's Hut]]s, [[Event]]s or [[Witch Hut]]s (unavailable by default).

'''Bug:''' AI heroes always raise exactly 1 Skeleton (or Lich), even if it should've raised 100% of the creatures slain. In {{hota}}{{-wh}}, this bug was fixed but another bug appeared: AI somehow raises more Skeletons than it should be able to.

'''Heroes with Necromancy as a starting skill:'''

* [[File:Death Knight portrait.gif]] All [[Death Knight]]s
* [[File: Necromancer portrait.gif]] All [[Necromancer]]s

'''Heroes with Necromancy as a specialty and a starting skill:'''
* {{H2|Isra|Death Knight}} (Advanced Necromancy)
* {{H2|Vidomina|Necromancer}} (Advanced Necromancy)

'''Skill-affecting factors:'''
* {{an|Amulet of the Undertaker}} – artifact increases Necromancy skill +5 %. (2,5 % in [[HotA]]){{-wh}}
* {{an|Vampire's Cowl}} – artifact increases Necromancy skill +10 %. (5 % in [[HotA]]){{-wh}}
* {{an|Dead Man's Boots}} – artifact increases Necromancy skill +15 %. (7,5 % in [[HotA]]){{-wh}}
* [[Necromancy Amplifier]] – structure increases Necromancy skill +10 %. (bonus stacks if you have multiple towns with this building) (5 % in [[HotA]]){{-wh}}
* [[Soul prison]] – [[Necropolis]] [[grail]] structure, which increases Necromancy skill +20 % (bonus stacks if you have multiple towns with this building via [[Map Editor]])

Additionally, with [[Cloak of the Undead King]], it is possible to raise other undead creatures instead of Skeletons. However, the cloak does not affect the skill percentages.

== {{hota}} ==
In {{hota}}, the skill percentages are decreased to 5%, 10% and 15%.{{-wh}}

== How it works ==
All killed '''enemy''' creatures can be raised as skeletons. This includes [[sacrifice]]d creatures, [[clone]]d creatures, summoned [[elemental]]s and even [[war machines]]. If the victorious hero's army has no empty slots available and no [[Skeleton]]s, but includes [[Skeleton Warrior]]s, the killed enemy creatures will be raised as Skeleton Warriors, but only 66.6% compared to Skeletons. If there are no available slots and no skeletons (either kind) in the army, none of the killed enemy creatures are raised.

The number of skeletons brought back at the end of the combat depends on three main factors:
# Number of creatures in killed stacks
# Amount of health of killed stacks
# Level of Necromancy skill (calculated by adding up hero skill level, artifacts and [[Necromancy Amplifier]])

First, the total number of raised Skeletons can never exceed the number of creatures slain in combat. Second, the total health of raised skeletons can never exceed the total health of killed creatures. Third, the level of Necromancy skill used in calculations can never be more than 100%, although it is technically possible for a hero to have Necromancy skill above 100%. These rules in {{sod}} are applied to every killed stack individually (in {{hota}}{{-wh}} the amount of creatures raised is calculated by the overall number of killed creatures), and always rounded towards 1.

The health of the enemy creature killed affects the efficiency of raising skeletons as per table:

{| class="wikitable"
|+
|-
! Creature hp !! Necromancy efficiency
|-
| 1 hp || 16.6%
|-
| 2 hp || 33.3%
|-
| 3 hp || 50%
|-
| 4 hp || 66.6%
|-
| 5 hp || 83.3%
|-
| 6+ hp || 100%
|}

As an example, a hero with 50% necromancy who kills 100 creatures with 6 HP or higher will obtain 50 skeletons, whereas if they were to kill 100 peasants (a creature with only 1 HP), only 8 skeletons would be obtained. In the first case the number of skeletons raised is limited by the total number of creatures available (100 creatures * 50% efficiency = 50 skeletons). In the latter case by the total HP of the killed creatures, as each skeleton requires a minimum of 6 HP to raise ((100 HP / 6 HP) * 50% efficiency = 8 + ⅓ ≈ 8 skeletons). This can be also interpreted as the hero being able to revive only 50 HP total (8 skeletons have 48 HP).

Additionally, with [[Cloak of the Undead King]], the same rules apply to [[Walking Dead]], [[Wight]]s and [[Lich]]es. As they have more health, less is raised. And if a hero only has upgraded versions in the army and no free slots, the "two thirds rule" is applied (the health difference between basic and upgraded creatures does not play any role in this case).

While a hero might level up from an encounter and as a result increase their necromancy expertise - e.g. from basic to advanced - the level that is applied to the encounter ''is the one the hero had already attained when the encounter started''. Level ups in necromancy, when they are attained by winning an encounter, only apply to encounters going forward.

{{user commentary|
Necromancy is the basis of [[Necropolis]] faction. By default there cannot be a Necropolis hero without this skill and the chance of upgrading this skill is also very high, so if a very important basic skill like [[Wisdom]] or [[Earth Magic]] is offered together with improving Necromancy, ignore Necromancy. You will get it sooner or later.

For heroes from other towns, the Necromancy skill is undesirable as Skeletons are weak, slow and will spoil [[morale]].

Necropolis and Necromancy are often considered to be overpowered, and therefore frequently banned in multiplayer games (and tournaments).

Hannibal 1001: Minor clarification for Warrior's Tomb, formatting for Hill Fort, Scholar

'''Adventure Map''' represents the part of [[Erathia]], where the game takes place. Typically at the beginning of a scenario or a custom map, players can see only see areas within the view of their [[town]]'s and/or [[hero]]es line of sight; the rest is shrouded. Heroes can be sent to explore the map, and reveal new areas as they travel. Heroes will discover treasures, [[wandering creature]]s, valuable [[resource]]s, and significant locations, like [[mine]]s, which will provide steady streams of resources; or [[creature dwelling]]s where a hero may recruit [[troop]]s for his army.

The Adventure Map consists of two [[layer]]s: the surface and the subterranean level. Heroes can travel from one layer to another either through [[Subterranean Gate]] or [[Monolith]]s. The subterranean territory is displayed on its own map.

At the beginning of each [[time|day]], mines and cities under player's control add to resources. Resources represent [[gold]] and raw materials a player may spend to improve towns, recruit troops, and perform other actions. Town [[Creature Dwelling|buildings producing creatures]] do so on the first day of the week. The current date appears at the lower right corner of the Adventure Map screen.

Objects with repeatable actions may be repeated without spending movement points by pressing the space bar.

}} '''Necromancy''' is a [[secondary skill]] that enables the hero to raise killed enemy creatures as [[Skeleton and Skeleton Warrior|Skeletons (or Skeleton Warriors)]]. All [[Death Knight]]s and [[Necromancer]]s start with basic Necromancy skill, except [[Isra]] the [[Death Knight]] and [[Vidomina]] the [[Necromancer]], who both start with advanced Necromancy. Other hero classes cannot learn Necromancy, but they can acquire it from [[Scholar (Adventure Map)|Scholar]]s, [[Pandora's Box]]es, [[Seer's Hut]]s, [[Event]]s or [[Witch Hut]]s (unavailable by default).

'''Bug:''' AI heroes always raise exactly 1 Skeleton (or Lich), even if it should've raised 100% of the creatures slain. In {{hota}}{{-wh}}, this bug was fixed but another bug appeared: AI somehow raises more Skeletons than it should be able to.

'''Heroes with Necromancy as a starting skill:'''

* {{an|Dead Man's Boots}} – artifact increases Necromancy skill +15 %. (7,5 % in [[HotA]]){{-wh}}
* [[Necromancy Amplifier]] – structure increases Necromancy skill +10 %. (bonus stacks if you have multiple towns with this building) (5 % in [[HotA]]){{-wh}}
* [[Soul prison]] – [[Necropolis]] [[grail]] structure, which increases Necromancy skill +20 % (bonus stacks if you have multiple towns with this building via [[Map Editor]])

Additionally, with [[Cloak of the Undead King]], it is possible to raise other undead creatures instead of Skeletons. However, the cloak does not affect the skill percentages.

== {{hota}} ==
In {{hota}}, the skill percentages are decreased to 5%, 10% and 15%.{{-wh}}

== How it works ==
All killed '''enemy''' creatures can be raised as skeletons. This includes [[sacrifice]]d creatures, [[clone]]d creatures, summoned [[elemental]]s and even [[war machines]]. If the victorious hero's army has no empty slots available and no [[Skeleton]]s, but includes [[Skeleton Warrior]]s, the killed enemy creatures will be raised as Skeleton Warriors, but only 66.6% compared to Skeletons. If there are no available slots and no skeletons (either kind) in the army, none of the killed enemy creatures are raised.

The number of skeletons brought back at the end of the combat depends on three main factors:
# Number of creatures in killed stacks
# Amount of health of killed stacks
# Level of Necromancy skill (calculated by adding up hero skill level, artifacts and [[Necromancy Amplifier]])

First, the total number of raised Skeletons can never exceed the number of creatures slain in combat. Second, the total health of raised Skeletons can never exceed the total health of killed creatures. Third, the level of Necromancy skill used in calculations can never be more than 100%, although it is technically possible for a hero to have Necromancy skill above 100%. These rules in {{sod}} are applied to every killed stack individually (in {{hota}}{{-wh}} the amount of creatures raised is calculated by the overall number of killed creatures), and always rounded towards 1.

The health of the enemy creature killed affects the efficiency that it is revived as per table:

1 hp = 16.6% efficiency 
2 hp = 33.3% 
3 hp = 50% efficiency 
4 hp = 66.6% efficiency 
5 hp = 83.3% efficiency 
6 hp or higher = 100% efficiency 

As an example, a hero with 50% necromancy who kills 100 creatures with 6 HP or higher will obtain 50 skeletons, whereas if they were to kill 100 peasants (a creature with only 1 HP), only 8 skeletons would be obtained. In the first case the number of skeletons raised is limited by the total number of creatures available (100 creatures * 50% efficiency = 50 skeletons). In the latter case by the total HP of the killed creatures, as each skeleton requires a minimum of 6 HP to raise ((100 HP / 6 HP) * 50% efficiency = 8 + ⅓ ≈ 8 skeletons). This can be also interpreted as the hero being able to revive only 50 HP total (8 skeletons have 48 HP).

Additionally, with [[Cloak of the Undead King]], the same rules apply to [[Walking Dead]], [[Wight]]s and [[Lich]]es. As they have more health, less is raised. And if a hero only has upgraded versions in the army and no free slots, the "two thirds rule" is applied (the health difference between basic and upgraded creatures does not play any role in this case).

{{user commentary|
Necromancy is the basis of [[Necropolis]] faction. By default there cannot be a Necropolis hero without this skill and the chance of upgrading this skill is also very high, so if a very important basic skill like [[Wisdom]] or [[Earth Magic]] is offered together with improving Necromancy, ignore Necromancy. You will get it sooner or later.

For heroes from other towns, the Necromancy skill is undesirable as Skeletons are weak, slow and will spoil [[morale]].

Necropolis and Necromancy are often considered to be overpowered, and therefore frequently banned in multiplayer games (and tournaments).

== How it works ==
All killed '''enemy''' creatures can be raised as skeletons. This includes [[sacrifice]]d creatures, [[clone]]d creatures, summoned [[elemental]]s and even [[war machines]]. If the victorious hero's army has no empty slots available and no [[Skeleton]]s, but includes [[Skeleton Warrior]]s, the killed enemy creatures will be raised as Skeleton Warriors, but only 66.6% compared to Skeletons. If there are no available slots and no skeletons (either kind) in the army, none of the killed enemy creatures are raised.

The number of skeletons brought back at the end of the combat depends on three main factors:
# Number of creatures in killed stacks
# Amount of health of killed stacks
# Level of Necromancy skill

First, the total number of raised Skeletons can never exceed the number of creatures slain in combat. Second, the total health of raised Skeletons can never exceed the total health of killed creatures. Third, the level of Necromancy skill used in calculations can never be more than 100%, although it is technically possible for a hero to have Necromancy skill above 100%. These rules in {{sod}} are applied to every killed stack individually (in {{hota}}{{-wh}} the amount of creatures raised is calculated by the overall number of killed creatures), and always rounded towards 1.

The health of the enemy creature killed affects the efficiency that it is revived as per table:

1 hp = 16.6% efficiency 
2 hp = 33.3% 
3 hp = 50% efficiency 
4 hp = 66.6% efficiency 
5 hp = 83.3% efficiency 
6 hp or higher = 100% efficiency 

So a hero with 50% necromancy, who killed 100 creatures with 6 hp or higher, will obtain 50 skeletons, whereas if he were to kill 100 peasants (who have only 1 hp), only 8 skeletons would be obtained. This can be also interpreted as the hero being able to revive only 50 HP total (8 skeletons have 48 HP).

Additionally, with [[Cloak of the Undead King]], the same rules apply to [[Walking Dead]], [[Wight]]s and [[Lich]]es. As they have more health, less is raised. And if a hero only has upgraded versions in the army and no free slots, the "two thirds rule" is applied (the health difference between basic and upgraded creatures does not play any role in this case).

{{user commentary|
Necromancy is the basis of [[Necropolis]] faction. By default there cannot be a Necropolis hero without this skill and the chance of upgrading this skill is also very high, so if a very important basic skill like [[Wisdom]] or [[Earth Magic]] is offered together with improving Necromancy, ignore Necromancy. You will get it sooner or later.

For heroes from other towns, the Necromancy skill is undesirable as Skeletons are weak, slow and will spoil [[morale]].

Necropolis and Necromancy are often considered to be overpowered, and therefore frequently banned in multiplayer games (and tournaments).

Titan's Lightning Bolt

Hannibal 1001: Math geek pointer: Dividing by zero (0) does not produce an actual number or ratio and it could therefore be disputed whether TL actually has a cost-to-damage ratio. Left sentence in with a small correction.

{{Air spells}}{{Spell|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|0

}} It was introduced to {{homm3}} in {{sod}} expansion with the [[combination artifact]] [[Titan's Thunder]].

While the assembled artifact is equipped, Titan's Lightning bolt is set into hero's [[spell book]]. The spell has no (zero) casting cost and always does 600 points of [[damage]] regardless of [[hero]]'s [[spell power]] or level of expertise in [[Air Magic]]. However, if the [[Orb of the Firmament]] is equipped, the damage is increased to 900 points.

[[Earth Elemental and Magma Elemental|Earth and Magma Elementals]] are [[Spell immunity|immune]] to Titan's Lightning Bolt, while [[Air Elemental and Storm Elemental|Air and Storm Elementals]] are [[Vulnerability|vulnerable]] to it. However, although Titan's Lightning Bolt appears to be a lightning-based spell, [[Pendant of Negativity]] does not make hero's creatures immune to it, as it does for example in the case of [[Lightning Bolt]] or [[Chain Lightning]].

Because of the zero casting cost, Titan's Lightning Bolt's damage per spell point spent is so strong it literally becomes incalculable.
