Because mages will all play as Necromancers, so let them also play as Dwarves. It has long been believed that a good player should be able to play equally well with all races!

We still haven't decided about the small templates! Should we remove them? I'm for it!
No offense, but did you read the message to the end? I wrote that limiting the number of games with one race seems quite reasonable (as suggested here, no more than two games with one race), so it will definitely not be possible to play all games with only Necromancers, and not even with Necromancers and Dungeons.
In the playoffs, I still think it's normal to ban races, but that's just my opinion. Plus, a bonus for a good player for playing well with all races in the form of additional points, again, everything is normal and fair here.
But why should a newbie like me struggle with Gnomes, I don't understand, and what is "good" about it for me personally, I also don't understand.
