Fix Army Size According to Archetype

Each archetype has a different playstyle, some relying on larger armies than others. With a Necromancer, you need to be willing to sacrifice some of your units to pursue conquest. An Artificer works best with a small army, as each individual unit requires attention. This may also apply to you if you are a Custom Mage, depending upon how you built your Archetype.

While the Alchemist focuses on precision, it is possible for them to have a large army. However, no one creates (and consumes) a large army like a Necromancer. If you’re going Necro, you definitely need to know how to grow a huge army in SpellForce: Conquest of Eo.

Steps to Growing Your Army in SpellForce: Conquest of Eo

Enemies start to advance quickly once you begin ranking your tower, so make sure to start with these additions to keep pace with what’s coming at you.

  • Rank your tower: To do this quickly, dump your allfire points into Proficiency in your tower menu. Don’t forget to increase your stacks to make tower ranking go faster.
  • Build Warrior’s hall: After you befriend the town of Audale, you’ll be able to get the Warrior’s Hall addition to your tower. This gives you a +1 bonus to your stack size.
  • Add Necromancer’s Crypt: You have to have room extension unlocked before adding it, but the Necromancer’s Crypt is a great addition to your tower. Use that to build War Room, giving you a +1 to your stack size.
  • Include Soul Well: This one gives you another +1 to your stack. This becomes unlocked when you use a Necromancer spell.

Bonus Tip to Grow Your Army Fast: Use Goblin Shamans While Building Army

Goblin Shamans are definitely worth investing in if you feel your army is thin or need to wait to build. They can heal other units. While they aren’t tough, they do have the Guard skill available, so they’re not necessarily easy to take out. They don’t have the same scaling issues as other goblin units, and they’re great for healing units in their own stacks.
