Resurrection altar - how to make it work

[peta62]

Hello,
I tried to use Resurrection altar in Heaven several times, but I always get message that there is nothing to resurrect. Does it work for you and what are the condition for resurrection in the castle after battle.
Does the Resurrection altar have to be :
- build before the battle ?
- in the castle where those creatures production dwellings are already built ?
In the manual is written Prime magic damage can be neither healed nor resurrected, but I could do both during the battle.
Does it work only when the whole stack was destroyed ?
Does it matter whether creatures are upgraded or not ?
I am sorry for that many questions, but I think I already tried everything and it does not work.
Thank you,
Peter

IIRC this building only resurrect Sisters, Sun Riders and Glories (and their upgrades). So if any of these units die in battle, you can get them back but only up to 3 days after they died (+ another day for every built altar).

Thank you very much. I knew that, since it is in the manual, my problem was I have built the Resurrection Altar AFTER the battle and it did not work. As soon as I took older saved day and built it BEFORE the battle, it started to work.

I have another stupid problem now, my new bought heroes do not have town portal in their spellbooks, although the two main do, I have three Heaven castles, all do have basic town portal, one has the advanced. Main heroes are level 11 and 3 ( I have bought them both at level 1 ), those that do not work are 6 and 8 ( bought both on level 6 ), all clerics except the 6 one. Map is Fortress of Honour. I tried to reopen spellbooks, enter town again ( I remember some bugs from H3 ), but nothing works for me. What am I missing ?
Thank you.

I have the same Town Portal spell missing problem.
(In both Haven 1 and Inferno 1 missions.)

This is not a mission where I have the problem, it is custom map delivered with installation.

And BTW there is a strange thing with Resurrection Altar. When the fallen creatures are upgraded and there is either their upgraded dwelling in the town or none their dwelling, they resurrect upgraded, but if the town has non upgraded dwelling Altar resurrects non upgraded creatures. I doubt this was intention.

Correction : Sorry, my fault, Resurrection Altar gives back non upgraded creatures only, unless there is that creature's upgraded dwelling in the same town.
