IMPORTANT!!! [DISCUSSION] Academy vs. Necropolis

I've played, I've played. I respect mages, all of them, except for Hafiz. They are a strong race, but judging by your post, are you suggesting that mages should learn both Darkness and Light magic? Ugh, how disgusting...

Mages are strong, and you are underestimating Hafiz for no reason... As for Darkness magic for mages, it's usually against Orcs, and going for Darkness just to get Darkness magic... well, you need to consider who your opponent is - if it's a Deidra, then you can...

But what prevents Necromancers from attacking Mages a month after the start of the game? There definitely won't be any Tier 3 units. There's not even a guarantee that there will be Tier 2 units.

Hafiz will have them - but not all - only the Grem and Mages. And without losing city building speed!!! But if he attacks Hafiz a month after the start, then he's just brave!!!

Ingvar, please explain what this interesting idea is: Mages taking both Darkness and Eternal Light. That's Light, Darkness. Do we take Summoning or not? I understand that we're playing as Hafiz, so that means machines? And do we take Sorcery or not? And Education?

I'll answer gradually:
1) We can combine 2 magic types (Air+Darkness, Light+Summoning, Light+Chaos)
I suggested taking Light and Darkness --> ("Eternal Light" and "Darkness"). Of course, we take both Education and Sorcery. BUT this is, of course, against Deidra; you can experiment with LIGHT+Chaos (if it's not Ravenga).

In general, I haven't played as Mages against Necromancers for a long time, simply because Necromancers are rarely played lately - they are weak....

This idea doesn't look very good. A reasonable question arises: have you even played as Mages?

Hehe, I understand that you Elves only care about yourselves, but Mages are my favorite race, and I try to play only as them; you can be sure of my skill...
