Tactics against the Cloak of Retribution.

I have a question that I'm a bit ashamed to ask, as it's quite basic.
I've reached the Paragon map. Everything is going well, it's the 5th month, and I've reached the Orcish lands. As always (with rare exceptions), my tactic revolves around blinding the enemy + using Archangels with clones to resurrect the army.
And then I encounter a strong Orcish army, and I get into trouble... I can blind them!
But is there a specific tactic for playing against opponents with the Cloak of Invisibility? Perhaps there are specific artifacts or gameplay features that are effective against them?
Here's a very good tactic specifically against Yoragos with the Cloak of Invisibility:
Capture the enemy Castle with a garrison of Crystal Dragons. If you're lucky, he'll leave his Red Dragons there, separate from his main army (there's a way to bypass him by walking on the water around Lomrok's Castle). Then, save the game and
end your turn. If Yoragos doesn't attack us, load the save and move all your troops into the garrison, leaving only your hero with 1 Archangel. Then, Yoragos will definitely attack.
Next, he attacks: his troops are all infantry, except for the Cyclops and the birds, so immediately blind the birds and use the Archangels to wait. Then, use archers to eliminate the Cyclops (Snipers and Wizards with the Golden Bow can eliminate his stacks of Cyclops in one round), and then the Archangels eliminate the catapult...
That's it - in the end, only the birds remain, so in the 2nd round, wait for his spell, and then use Mass Slow. In the 3rd round, eliminate the birds...
That's it - from the 4th round onwards, the fun begins: just sit in the Castle with all your troops and don't come out, while the archers and towers shoot down his troops...
I don't remember if he attacks with Lightning Bolt or Arrows...
If he does, there will be minimal losses; if not, then sitting behind the walls for 50+ rounds (don't forget to put on Shackles, and of course, buy a Supply Wagon) will bring complete victory
