Hi! Just a noob-question, I assume. I just downloaded the HOMM 3-game from GOG and started a Single Scenario. Everything worked fine, just as i remeber it (I used to play it before, many years ago), until I got upgraded Archangels and come to a fight. Here I cannot use the "Resurrection" skill they are supposed to have. I remember it as all I need to do is to have the marker above my units and I will autmatically get the "Ressurection"-option. But this doesn´t happen now.

I have literally tried pressing all buttons I can find, but I cannot find out how to do the "Resurrection"-skill for the Archangels. Is there a simple solution top this? I understand there might well be. Has anyone else experienced the same problem?

Who were you trying to cast it on?

The spell doesn't work on undead, elementals, gargoyles and golems (or creatures immune to it). It doesn't work on cursed terrain, nor on Anti-Magic garrison. There is also the possibility that your opponent had some artifact that prevents spell casting.
It also obviously won't work on a creature stack where no one has died. The resurrected amount should be 100HP/archangel, so if you have e.g. 2 archangel stack trying to resurrect a dead archangel from another stack (250 HP) it won't bring anyone back either.

Thank you for your reply ZFR!

What you mention is not the problem though. When I try to use the skill it has been on other Castle-units only (usually Marksmen, Zealots or Royal Griffons, they should be able to be resurrected, right?), and units which have lost some numbers as well in the same battle of course (else I would not need to resurrect them naturally). I simply do not get the option, and I do not know why. I doubt it has been on some kind of cursed terrain or anti-magic, because I could without problems cast spells with my hero and I have had the same problem in several battles I have tried.

Thanks again for your effort though!

That's weird then. Can you post a save game somewhere just before a battle and I'll test it out on my game?

Thanks, that´s very nice of you! The file is called "Mattias 1.GM1", it should be downloadable here, if I´ve done it correctly... Sorry, never tried before... Just attack the Castle with the main hero.

Edit: Just tell me if it doesn´t work to download or I´ve chosen the wrong file by the way, never tried this before...

You're wearing the Recanters's Cloak. It prevents higher-level casting.

Edit: Grammar

All Castle town units can be resurrected.

Be aware that a given stack of Archangels can only cast Resurrect once per battle. Once a stack has resurrected something, whether a single peasant or 100000 azure dragons, it can't resurrect again in the same battle.

One reason to split Archangels into multiple stacks is to have multiple Resurrects available.

Pre-post Edit: I see your specific case has been solved. :)
