What skills should Necromancers take when facing Orcs on a very large map?

Well, actually, I think Termi is exaggerating. He is certainly a strong Orc, I won't argue with that, I've even lost to him. But it's interesting, in the game I played against him, I didn't see any special "tactics against Darkness" (well, except for the dwarven artifacts, which are a must-have for such a situation), on the contrary, Darkness was very effective. Termi, if it's not too much trouble, could you share a couple of replays where you effectively counter Darkness? As for Argat and the "noob with 10 liches," I'm not entirely sure I agree. It will still be difficult to intercept, and regarding the first turn of the warlords, you probably just haven't encountered "sharp mind." And after subduing the warlords, goblins can easily be among the first to fall. And in general, there are many options here, you can choose according to the situation. Yes, and let's be fair, you probably just haven't encountered this kind of tactic yet; I haven't used it against you personally, but I could have.
