By the way, the Necromancer's special ability is one of the most useless – a -6 penalty to morale is simply laughable, especially considering that the maximum negative value you can achieve is -11 morale, while it's easy to get more than 12 positive morale, and a mage with minotaurs can completely crush them... And getting to that ability is one of the most difficult things to do. The lack of "Mind Control" only makes this already useless ability even worse...

No one makes it to the late game with them. In single-player, it's okay, but against a decent opponent... You'll only win if you're very lucky, or if you have a lot of skill.
If we assume that you can only attack after three or four months of the game, or even longer... In my opinion, I can only evaluate the strength of a race at its maximum level of development and when all its possibilities are used. Here, I repeat, mages crush everyone...

For example, an Orc with an army upgraded with minotaurs, each stack of archers gets +40% initiative, and the gremlins also get +16 to HP + mass acceleration spell, and that's it, they're unbeatable.
