Hello! Can anyone offer some advice regarding my situation: I'm playing with a friend, he chooses Necropolis [hero Deydra (Banshee)], and I choose Fortress [hero Ingvar (Protector)]. We're playing on a huge map with strong neutral creatures. The condition is: we don't attack each other for 7-8 months, and in the final battle, we go in with heroes at level 31-33, to level up, firstly, the racial special ability, and secondly, to learn all possible skills (fortunately, there are mentors on the maps).
So, I have a question (which has been coming up quite often lately): how can I, in a long game against Necropolis, tip the scales in my favor in the final battle? Please share your experience :)

7-8 months? Come on, in that time, a Necromancer can defeat three Dwarves, not just one. If you're still planning to play like that, I would suggest focusing on Darkness skills (with a Sandro's Cloak found somewhere and necessary spells like Subjugation and Berserk). Also, max out Defense until it's ready, Charisma until Distraction (otherwise, it will be difficult to compete with the Necromancer in magic), Education, and then Light or Attack (it depends on how the Necromancer is developing; if he's going into Darkness, I would take Light with Blessing). I think that's the way to go.

It's simply impossible to defeat a good necromancer after 7-8 months; he'll overwhelm you with numbers. As for going into Darkness and equipping Sandro's Cloak, that's also pointless, because the necromancer's defense is 3-4 times higher than his attack, so Darkness won't do much good. All the conditions favor the necromancer; it's like competing on a small map with an Orc! Forget the rules and attack after 3-4 months!

Yeah, Necropolis – if it develops peacefully for 7-8 months, it can defeat everyone except experienced Wizards.

The Fortress can easily withstand the Gnomes; their defense and HP are given for a reason, and they shouldn't attack. The Necropolis also focuses more on defense, but usually has a larger number of units. However, remember that two defensive factions usually prolong the battles, which is not what we need. The Necromancer will gain an advantage through upgrades; since he's already at level 31, he can take Spell Power + Luck, which will be very useful for the Gnome. There are creatures with greater defense here, and there's also magic and protection, so the Necropolis won't be able to break through, especially with the runes.

Stay on the defensive and cast Armageddon if you have Spell Power. You can also add magic resistance and spell damage bonuses. Readiness + Spell Power and the Rune of Etherealness/Elemental Resistance, depending on the situation. A Necromancer without Light will not be able to break through the Ingvar defenders in your castle during months 7-8.
