The Necromancer should have at least two castles, otherwise it's a guaranteed loss!!!! (I tested it myself. Racial bonuses won't save you when the hero is level 34 and it's the 5th month of the game!). Then the chances are 50/50... because the Elf's racial bonus increases (especially if it's the Archmage). The same goes for Anwen; she's no joke! I agree with :smile16: 50% - 50% :smile24: no more, no less! Against Deidre, probably 40%-60% in favor of the Necromancer; I'm just not sure if the Shout can counter the Elf's Archmage, but still! Against Wing, 60%-40% in favor of the Elf) Or not?
