The other 'official' themes didn't really fit Homm2 Necromancer (apparently I'm not alone on that opinion). *** (I am hopeful it finds its rightful place in the upcoming latest version of the super-exciting Succession Wars mod That 'demo' theme is just so, so fitting for the necromancers! Assuming that was the true demo theme, NWC should have stuck with it for the undead faction. That sounds like the theme chosen for the barbarians with a morose funeral march melody thrown on top of it huh? ĭon't know the awareness on this among the diehards and people who played HOMM2 since its very inception, but this right here: seems to be the true, TRUE Necromancer theme that, for whatever reason, was not part of the official release?Īnyone know if that was really part of the game's 'demo'? (It might have been fan-made, but I do not know) Late last year, I stumbled across this supposed 'demo' theme for Necromancer.

Personally I always thought that was a wasted opportunity, like they could have used Solmyr's portrait for that jailed hero, or maybe they intended to use Solmyr's portrait for that jailed hero but forgot or something. That jailed hero uses Sir Gallant's portrait, not Solmyr's portrait. There is a jailed hero named Anduran in the official map 'Dominion'. A hero named Anduran and having this portrait is placed in one of the prisons on the adventure map.

The only clue, though, is left on the official map 'Dominion', which is actually not fan-made and is included in the official PoL release. Nice find, Leslie! That reversed castle siege looks very interesting.Īlso, snooping on one of my backup HD, I found those pictures I was talking about regarding a graveyard battle ground in the resource files:Īlso, regarding this bit in the original post:
