This Necromancer quickstart uses The Necromancer Empire against one difficulty 5 Basic AI. It also adds in the Neinzul Custodians, the Neinzul Migrant Fleet, the Neinzul Sappers, and the Neinzul Wild Hives. As one song put it, "Neinzul to the left of me, Neinzul to the right".

 I have two for consideration. Necromancer Introduction (Easy) is in the hand-holding category to ease new players into using Necromancer. It is difficulty 4 Full Ensemble AI, on Realistic map, Sandbox Mode on, all Necromancer starting resources maxed out, with intensity 10 Sappers and Human Resistance Fighters. It's meant to be in the same general ballpark as the Helping Hands one in the Basic category.

The second one is an alternative for people who want a little more resistance in their first attempt. Necromancer Introduction (Less Easy) has a difficulty 6 Aggressor AI on the Squares map, intensity 7 Sappers as allies, and all Necromancer defaults.

Suggest checking the tooltips to ensure the formatting is right with paragraph breaks. They're pretty short, I tried to model the descriptions on existing quickstarts.

This is an easy scenario, intended for players who have not played as a Necromancer Empire before.  To ease the learning process, you are given extra resources and upgrades to start off with.  Additionally, strong Human Resistance and Sapper allies, both at intensity 10, are present to aid you.  

A single AI opposes you, set to difficulty 4 Full Ensemble.  You will also encounter Templar and Elderling resistance, also at an intensity of 4.  Go forth with your undead minions and dominate the galaxy!

This campaign is intended for players who have completed the easy version and are looking for a moderate step upwards in challenge, or those who want their first Necromancer experience to be somewhat on the easy side but not a romp.  

Your Necromancer Empire has default capabilities, and will be aided by intensity 7 Sappers on the new Squares map type.  The opposition consists of an Aggressor AI set to difficulty 6, along with intensity 6 Templar and Elderlings.  

If you succeed here, you may wish to try out more challenging scenarios, perhaps including some of the other new Neinzul factions!

 FYI in the latest patch the description for the Easy one looks correct, but it appears there was something off about the Less Easy description; it just has the generic 'enter campaign name below' and no description of the what the quickstart does. Neinzul Galaxy also looks correct to me.

Zeus stated on discord that he made a new Necromancer folder for quickstarts. It is not in-game as of Release Candidate 1, 4.995. At presenet all that shows is the Neinzul Abyss folder. It has my two quickstarts in it, but neither description shows up.

These should be added in the next push. I apparently forgot to select the files to add last night, and I renamed a few so those will appear to have been deleted but they are still here

Should have 2 folders.
1) Neinzul Abyss--should have 5 QS
2)Necromancer--should have 6 QS
