And the computer, seeing my battlefield tactic, kept sending archangels, the bastard... but it was precisely them that carried my army(((
Regarding the bonuses – make it 300 improved peasants, not just peasants, because I only completed this requirement in the middle of the game, after I noticed(((
Regarding the Necropolis – it's a tough one... but the bonus of 78 Inquisitors on the Hero partially compensated for the loss of half the army). Don't remove them)))
Regarding the machines – it's a pity you feel that way about them... considering the artifact's initiative, if you take a triple ballista, the dwarves won't have any walls left after 2 attacks...
