And if the Gnome doesn't have a General spell dispel... then, with all other parameters being equal, he's 100% doomed

With such magic, Dispel lasts, in my opinion, for thirty turns. Subjugate lasts for 6 turns. Berserk lasts for either 6 or 8 turns, I don't remember exactly. Blindness lasts for 15 turns. Plague lasts for 10 turns or a little less... And the damage from Plague will be about 200 HP per turn, if I'm not mistaken... Your archers will be taken out, someone will be subjugated, poisoned by Plague, what can the Gnome do? He might get lucky and have an Energy Rune... But you can't rely on just that.

KGB, do you really think that the Gnome doesn't have other runes? I can give you an example: a rune that dispels all negative spells -> Plague and Dispel definitely won't work... against Berserk and Subjugation, there are other ways, for example, Light magic + Eternal (antimagic, Divine Retribution) (and if there's also Helmar...). Darkness is weakened by 50%... and that's a lot! We'll strategically use Light spells and go for it: a Sign of Fire on liches + priests (Fireball or Wall), dragons with an Energy Rune, followed by bears with Stunning Strike.... Gnomes with good attack skills will also look good, and of course, Battle Dwarves (AI) - the result is 5, and that reduces the number of turns!!! And Rune Harmony results in 7 for one turn...
Play as Gnomes, test all the runes, and find out what Gnomes are capable of... although the Necromancer is a dangerous opponent, so you need to focus on attacking him, not sitting back:cool: :cool: :smile14:
