Mish-gan, what about pyrokinesis + phoenix feathers + Yggdrasil + Armageddon...? Although in the late game, Chaos's chances dwindle, but maybe he doesn't know we're going for Chaos (another option)! Well, if he does know, it's better not to go for Chaos... Why not go for Earth Magic if we're playing for so long... we can stock up on artifacts that reduce the opponent's luck and increase our own, and then we'll see how the knight fares without luck.

Original artifact options: a cloak with -2 to Defense and Luck, and a ring with -2 to Luck. And for ourselves, of course, the skill itself and the Lion Crown are desirable... the main thing is to leave the opponent without luck, and then even Paladins will have a hard time!
I think the "Armageddon" ability will only work if the skills are expertly developed - Chaos itself, fully developed with pyrokinesis, Leadership with Empathy, Sorcery, Education, Luck with a Lucky Mage + artifacts - Phoenix Feathers! (I just thought about it - if developed like that, it would be total chaos! - let's say Erling is level 26)
In practice, a properly developed Axel is strong even without luck, due to his Initiative and when Battle Cry triggers, the Paladins eliminate two main stacks - Jarls and Dragons - before the hero's turn, which is a terrifying sight :eek:!
I still believe that Earth Magic won't save the Dwarf.
You can't reduce Battle Cry by much with any artifacts; only a Necromancer with Earth Magic can do that!
