So this is a noob question, but for some reason I've enjoyed playing BB for dozens of hours in a completely unoptimised 'go with the flow' way. What are people's favoured strategies for necromancers in the early game?
The obvious path is to snipe the necro, but I usually find that they are so far behind, and with a bodyguard to give them cover, so early level archers usually don't have the range/accuracy to do it efficiently. Maybe if you have a ~60 skill Bullseye archer with a second tier bow, which is not guaranteed early game depending on your start.
That means I usually end up just advancing slowly as a group, smashing the undead as fast as possible, and having a strong bro make a beeline for the necro once there's an opening. That works when the group is fairly strong relative to the undead, but if you're facing, say, a dozen mostly armoured wiedergangers and your dudes are level 2-4, it's a bit trickier.
Relatedly, I'm curious as to the rules for zombie resurrection. We know that normally, sitting on zombies' corpses is a reliable way to prevent their raising, just like you stand on dead nachzehrers so they don't get eaten. But when necros are in play that seems to go out the window, and I'm not sure what exactly the rule is. We know the necro can use his turn to evil-eyes a zombie & also raise one, but at the start of every round where a necro is alive, you seem to get anywhere between 0 and 3 raises, even of the ones you're sitting on. Is it just random no-limits raising as long as the necro is alive?
