About half-way through the first version of this FAQ, I realized that everyone might not know what all of these words mean. Most people who haven't played this game probably have no idea what a Necropolis is, or other words used in this FAQ. So, I made this section.
Hero- Heroes are the generals in HOMM. They control all of the units and cast Spells.
HOMM- Heroes of Might & Magic.
Necromancer- One who can resurrect the dead. Generally an evil character in mythology.
Necropolis- One of the town types. Houses evil and undead creatures.
Primary Skill- Primary Skills: Attack, Defense, Spell Power, and Knowledge.
Retaliation- Retaliation is whenever a unit attacks another, the remaining units of the strike attack the unit that attacked them.
Round- One round is the equivalent of every creature on one side attacking.
Secondary Skills- Secondary Skills are skills that Hero's can learn and specialize in. The maximum is ten per Hero.
Spam- Junk mail, messages repeating the same thing over and over (i.e. YOUR FAQ SUCKS!YOUR FAQ
SUCKS!YOUR FAQ SUCKS!YOUR FAQ SUCKS!YOUR FAQ SUCKS!YOUR FAQ SUCKS!YOUR FAQ SUCKS!YOUR FAQ

SUCKS!), advertisements, etc.
Spell Points- Spell Points are "MP" for all of you RPG gamers out there. They are determined by your Hero's Knowledge rating. Spell Points= Knowledge Rating x 10.
Spell Power- The number that represents that Hero's skill at casting spells.
