Is Necromancer the most powerful and versatile unit in King's Bounty series?

[Autoclave]

I really cannot come up with a *better* unit than this one.

Just a few reasons

1. AoE attack that curses enemy invoking -1 morale. Since the curse itself is a negative effect the actualt result is a -2 morale (if enemy has no positive effects). Just add another negative effect and the enemy unit is reduced to critical morale which effectively cripples him.

2. Plague. Omg omg omg! Extremely powerful mass Spell, hell even mages don't have mass effect plague. Again +1 morale for your undead. and an attack/defense/health penalty for the non-undead (except for daemons and plants). Reducing enemy health effectively allows you to kill more units with all sort of damaging spells. I always use this before casting black hole.

3. Spell shackles. I don't remeber seeing any sort of leadership requirement for this one. OMG...

4. Raise Undead, and if the previous 3 are not enough, than this is just icing the cake.

back to the point 1, with endgame warrior, i was capable to do above 5000 hp damage (having attack ~ 100, base 30 + 70) as an AoE attack with potentially 7 units being damaged.

Oh.. and the ability to train him in crossworlds from archmages is fantastic. I don't need to hope for the random number generator to be able to recruit them soon
