I played against a Necromancer on the Outlands map. I have to say, it's very difficult even against the AI. I won, but it was a real challenge (unlike playing against the Dwarves).
First of all, he came to my territory from the Dungeon very quickly with a pretty decent army (apparently, he wasn't wasting his Dark Energy). And right from the start, he almost destroyed my entire army. But nevertheless, he retreated – I managed to create 10 unupgraded knights. They became the key to victory.
Then, after some time, he came again with a very large army. He already had upgraded dragons and the Dominate spell. And I was in a bad situation – I had no Anti-Magic or Resurrection in the guild. In general, I rushed with removing the enchantments;)
The Necromancer immediately used Dominate on the Paladins, and they almost killed all the Angels. But nevertheless, in the end, the number of my Paladins prevailed. Either I managed to dispel his Dominate, or it wore off on its own. But in general, the Paladins under my control remained alive, and the AI retreated again.
I realized that things were getting bad because he was building a second Castle and starting to transform his creatures into undead, so I needed to take him out quickly.
I put all my efforts into creating Paladins, sacrificing Monks and almost seven Knights, but I had a lot of gold + Royal Griffins and Archangels + Archers.
In general, I won by dividing the stack of Paladins into two groups (one large one to destroy the enemy, and a smaller one to heal and counter Dominate). In the end, I had 60+ Paladins, and he had 7 Banshees and 7 Messengers. Dominate didn't work anymore because I now had two stacks of Paladins.
Nevertheless, I conclude that it's very difficult to play against the Necromancer on this map. Because Dominate is a real problem, especially if you don't have Anti-Magic. BUT nevertheless, I really liked the tactic of dividing the Paladins into two stacks. And it is quite possible to defeat the Necromancer.
By the way, the Griffins played a huge role in my victory over the Necromancer, destroying his Archers and Liches. I was just delighted with these cute winged creatures)
