Minor Tweaks for now...
Okay, I thought about this a little more and have made some minor tweaks for now.
I looked at what I did for the Necromancy Skill (HOMM3 Necromancy Skill) and before it decreased Leadership Requirement of Undead and added to the Power of Necro Call. Now it will only decrease LR of Undead - the Necro Call bonus will be removed.
Two of Rina's HOMM3 babies have Animated Dead. This acted just like the HOMM3 Necromancy skill where it decreased LR of Undead and added to the power of Necro Call. Now it will only add to the power of Necro Call, so two of the Heroes that were -6% LR to Undead now drop to -3% LR to Undead.
Next I looked at Isra who had Expert Necromancy. A bonus to Undead Spiders was not in the game so she also had a bonus to Undead Spiders; however, this effectively gave her 4 skill points instead of 3, so what I've done is dropped her Expert Necromancy to Advanced + Undead Spiders. So now she goes from -9 to -6% LR Undead.
Next Vidomina had Expert Necromancy and Bone Dragons, once again 4 skill points instead of 3. So I moved the Bone Dragons to Lord Haart (since his HOMM3 bonus is Black Knights, and Tamika has Black Knights already and no one had Bone Dragons) so that Vidomina now has just Expert Necromancy with -9% LR to Undead and then Lord Haart has Advanced Necromancy and Bone Dragons.
So now there is Vidomina with -9%, Isra and Lord Haart with -6%, and everyone else with -3% LR to Undead. So now the total is -24% +Rina's -6% so 30% max, but the chance of getting it is 1/19 * 2/18 * 1/17 * 15/16 = 0.0322% or 1 in 3101. So you'll more than likely just get -18% to -21% (including Rina's bonus).
I know this doesn't seem like much of a change, but think about the fact that Rina's children's other bonuses are very limited due to the Necromancy bonuses. So I'm thinking a minor tweak like this might go a long ways.
The proof is in the pudding - I need you to playtest it and see how you're doing late in the game. I'm a little worried that Rina might not have enough bonuses for you to last and you might have to swtich to another wife. I know that Skeleton Archers are mowed down with reckless abandon and so I actually think you might need a lot to do well. Also, Undead do not get any morale bonuses and so I think you may need an advantage like this. Rina's kids are kind of quantity over quality, but I'm hoping you're able to be successful with her late in the game.
I've also made the skill changes I've mentioned previously...
Should be able to send out the update to you soon...
