Built-in 30% physical/50% poison resistance, immune to mind spells, Black Helmet (-20% leadership for BKs), Staff of the Acolyte Necromancer (-15% leadership for undead), "Dark Commander" (I always remember the KBTL name for it) warrior skill for +7 attack/+2 initiative, Revenge for massive criticals on counter-attacks, Shard from Moro so that he ALWAYS counter-attacks and gets +10 attack, the ultra-powerful Eviln spell to resurrect them... I believe the developers made this possible as a "panic button" for anyone having a hard time with the game.

I'm sure any class could benefit with the use of BKs, especially the warrior and paladin since they have more leadership, and it is their skill trees after all that make the BKs even more powerful.

Even 1 level of Chaos to get level 1 Eviln is acceptable, and late-game could resurrect a lot more than what a level 3 Resurrect does for the living. As for getting the Eviln spell, if not sold at shops, you could always dig for it. I'm at Bolo in my current game and have already dug one up.

If you don't like the idea of going solo unit with them, you could always team them up with Bone Dragons who also benefit from some of the pieces of the BK build.

Then maybe throw in demonologists for more dead bodies via summons, necromancers who also benefit from the undead-specific build...

Without problem.

I'm struggling to find enough undead and demons to free Moro Dark. Just clearing out Shettarra and Nameless Island..I don't think it will be enough to get the sword from him :(

It is guaranteed you can get BK's if you want them either via Morro or the Necro in dwarven area.

On your score bar, how do you have the dragon, rage and mana show up?

Man, this game really favor one stack army :).
If you want try Black Knights strat download attachment, there is plenty of islands to cleared, i found evlin spell on last island >< but everything is ready for fun.

Funny just beat Driller with 189 black knights, what a easy fight, no-loss thx to time back but even if you got losses you can summon creatures and use them as host for your evlin spell :).

Base damage of my Dread Knights (promoted :D) just jumped from base 12-16 to 21-28 OO thx to items.

Feel the Power of Darkness.

where do you get the shard

where do you get Black Night? i have only 8 from scarlet. but thats all available there to buy.

Read the posts above :) BK's are available in Montero Shafts from Meshmere after you do his quest and usually on shipwrecks and Nameless island. A call of Death Scroll will also do sometimes.

Hi all,

I think someone earlier in the thread asked this but i didn't see a response so I'm hoping someone can enlighten me...

How do you get the splinter of darkness?

I mean, i know you have to get the value down to zero. But, with the strength of the stacks in Shaterra and Nameless is this something that can only be achieved in the end game? I've got the value down to about 70% but have killed every stack that isn't on these two islands...i don't want to not play my undead build army just to keep it at 70% but if i do the value will slowly creep up.

I'm level 25 right now w/ 112 black knights.

Pls advise.

cheers,
DW
