Posts from Which faction poses the greatest challenge for the Dwarves? Auto-translated

As long as it's not their turn, there's a chance they won't even move... and the computer always tries to eliminate them.

I played a 2v2 game with Dwarves. And what? I took out the Dwarf in his castle, so they :smile18:. That's funny; the Necromancer's army was twice as big, and there were four times as many skeletons. The endgame was somewhere around week 3, month 4. Helmar was being developed exactly according to your scheme – the conclusion is that G's scheme doesn't work. I think no scheme will help here.

You're the fantasizer who keeps fantasizing about the invincibility of Dwarves. I'm only talking about three spells: Plague, Weakness, and Unholy Word. And Subjugate, probably. Vampirism doesn't count. All of them are mass spells; who needs your Dwarven luck? And my experience shows that if Bear Riders and Erlangs go up against Necromancers, they'll be taken out immediately. You seem to forget that Necromancers can also have luck? No, it's not like half the army gets taken out right away. Especially not Necromancers. That's just your stupid fantasy.:smile13:

No one is afraid of your Berserkers.:D :D :D You can keep playing with noobs.

Well done. Necropolis is the strongest and most invincible!

That's the point – there are no unbeatable races. For each, you can find a counter. Gnomes can be adequately countered (with equal player skill) by Humans with a lot of cavalry and Mages with mini-arts. The rest need to rush, and this isn't an imbalance, but a variety of strategies. I think Necropolis is a very dangerous opponent (for Gnomes) only up to weeks 5-6; after that, runes and superiority in combat stats make themselves known, and the Necromancer's chances diminish with each week.

:smile24: :smile24: :smile24: What does "who" mean? We take everyone.

Probably, I didn't phrase it correctly - which upgrades do we take?

Peasant-ZOMBIERegarding new strategies, how about defense with stone-like durability?

This strategy isn't new, but thanks anyway.

Peasant-ZOMBIEThe Necromancer's strategy is mainly focused on magic, not on troops, because statistically, they are almost complete underdogs. The main task is to prolong the battle, use as much plague as possible, and "Mass Dispel" is a must. "Berserk" and "Subdue" are not particularly useful against dwarves. The main difficulty is dragons, so they need to be somehow barricaded, maybe with a Phoenix. Also, if the hero is a Machinist, it's better to quickly eliminate the tent that removes blindness. I think you can also apply "Weakness" and definitely "Shriek." Then it's simple - vampirism on ghosts, and "Unholy Word."

Regarding skills - take defense, darkness, summoning, spell power, and education. Standard for a Necromancer, nothing better is needed. I've already calculated that 30% defense is better than 3 to luck.

I think the Necropolis has a good chance, especially if there are multiple castles. A Dwarf might try a rush with Ingvar early on. But then the Necropolis will have too much meat.

Well, instead of magic, I think "Attack" and "Logistics" would also look good.

I'm considering a game with an equal number of Castles. And Ingvar's rush doesn't seem that scary to me. The main thing is to get the Summoning skill with Fire Warriors as quickly as possible; in the worst case, he's unlikely to capture a Castle. You can also quickly get several high-level creatures through promotion during a rush, while the Dwarf will only have Warriors and Pikemen. In the late game, the Dwarf will either have Armageddon with Pyromancy or Eternal Light. Plus Runes. Invisibility and Battle Fury. The Undead won't have that much "meat" (if the number of Castles is equal).

Magic, of course ;)

I really don't understand the logistics of why you would take them. Attack – only if it's because of Battle Frenzy, but otherwise, what's the point? What upgrades do you take – skeletons-archers, plague zombies, ghosts, Vampire Lords, Greater Liches (if you have the Necropolis, then Archliches), Death Knights, spectral dragons.
