It is advisable for the Orc to take artifacts that boost magic skills, so that the "Magic Resistance" skill works better.
The Orc has a low magic skill, but the "Darkness Dampening" skill is excellent against Necromancers.

What does it mean that they don't affect the magic skill parameter?
On the contrary, they do, and that's their advantage!

Let's read. The "Darkness Dampening" skill reduces the caster's magic skill by 25%. So, instead of 20 magic, when calculating the effect of a dark spell, it will only be equal to 15. If the Orc has at least 6 magic, then it will be reduced by another 3. As a result, a Necromancer with 20 magic will cast dark spells with only 12 magic.

Then, the "Darkness Dampening" skill itself, at the expert level, makes it so that spells of levels 1-3 are cast at the level of "basic dark magic".

Against any mage, you should ALWAYS take Goblin Shamans!!!
If their number is close to 400, then there is a very high probability that the spell will not work at all! And any spell, of any school.

Yes, it's a good strategy for the Orc against a Necromancer, as long as the Necromancer doesn't have too much of a numerical advantage.

You can easily take Hagresh and develop him, say, up to level 24:

- Skilled Blood Rage - Reinforcements - Remembrance of Our Blood - Magic Resistance
- Skilled Attack - Ranged Attack
- Skilled Leadership - Recruitment - Battle Frenzy - Speed Aura
- Skilled Logistics
- Skilled Darkness Dampening - Dark Curse - Weakness
- Ghostly Luck - Magic Resistance

Yes. In general, you can come up with many things. That's why I love Heroes 5:)
You also need to look for all the artifacts that increase your luck and decrease the enemy's, as well as artifacts that boost morale and magic resistance.
