In version 1.0, I considered Necromancers to be the strongest race due to the large number of archers, who, by the way, have an initiative of 11 (higher than many other races' archers). After the energy limit was introduced, I thought it would be difficult to gather 4,000 skeletons. However, I recently played with a friend, and he managed to gather 4,000 skeletons. But I won. I won through attrition. I have several leveled-up heroes, while he only has one. I ran away from him while he gathered his army.

It's easy for me to play as Dwarves in a one-on-one match against any race. But it's more difficult against several opponents, because there are different principles for leveling up a hero against a specific race.

Playing as Dwarves against the Undead is generally ideal (no leadership). I've mastered the counterspell (skilled spellcasting) – and the only magic will be rune magic. And in melee combat, the Undead (with roughly equal armies) won't stand a chance against the Dwarves.
