Faerie fire? I don't think so. I was mean that in revised The South Guard Mal M'brin was changed from ancient lich into special unit with faerie fire attack to show he's an elf. From obvious reasons it's incompatible.

Yup, it is. Not sure if the forums have an official policy on that though. I personally think it's fine as long as it's actually adding to the thread. (Your mileage may vary on whether holypaladin's comment adds to the thread.)

Thread necromancy means posting in a thread that's older than, say, a week or so. This thread is from 7 years ago, so it's definitely necromancy.

In most places yes, but Wesnoth forums are ancient and slow. Some threats span over decades and there are many where the posts are ages apart.

Though 7 years is an impressive stretch even here.

The specific span of time can vary by forum, sure. However, I think most people would agree that 7 years is clear necromancy. :)

Hmm, instead of stretching the definition of necromancy one could say necromancy is the norm here, but even then our holy paladin is starting to turn into an arch lich.
