The number of HP restored by Animate Dead and Resurrection is almost equal. Both give 50 times spell power at all levels. The flat bonus for Basic/Advanced/Expert level is 30/60/160 for Animate Dead and 40/80/160 for Resurrection, giving Resurrection a slight edge before Expert level. Note that Resurrection costs more spell points to cast and its effect is only permanent with at least Advanced Earth Magic. | The number of HP restored by Animate Dead and Resurrection is almost equal.

Animate dead has a 44% probability to show up in Necropolis' Mage Guild | Animate dead has a 44% probability to show up in Necropolis' Mage Guild vs. only 20% (29% for Tower with a Library) for Resurrection. Additionally, Animate Dead is level 3 while Resurrection is level 4. Thus, in the early game Necropolis has a much higher chance to be able to revive its creatures. With multiple cities, the chance to obtain the spell increases (assuming no Tower with Library): | ||

As can be seen, one would need about 3/5/8 cities to have the same chance to learn Resurrection as with 1/2/3 Necropolis cities to learn Animate Dead. | As can be seen, one would need about 3/5/8 cities to have the same chance to learn Resurrection as with 1/2/3 Necropolis cities to learn Animate Dead. | ||

Thus, in the mid- and late-game, obtaining Resurrection will be likely for any player. | ||
