if you can mind hunt/assassinate all his commanders then you can just crumble those undead. make a weak point in your line and when he pours in troops mind hunt his commanders away (and on the battlefield use mind burn)

Soul Gate's undead aren't mindless, so they won't crumble, they'll just rout, and 1 point of PD is all it takes to prevent that. For that same reason, Mind Burn and Soul Slay won't work nearly as spectacularly as they do against the Ashen Empire.

good point, then just stick with battlefield wide spells

PrinzMegaherz .... now the next phase:
You need scouts/spys to locate his largest armies... use Succubus ladies if you don't have any good stealthy units. Don't use the Succubus for assassinations in your scenario because necromancers usually win. Once your Succubus finds a huge force... Blast it with Flames from the Sky !

If you're worried about Defense:
Summon more of the ARCHDEVILS if you're worried about him attacking... keep them out of cold provinces. Keep popping down those telestic animations(5_astral=lvl3_priest)... good deal.

If you want to pursue Offense: Mind Hunt if possible, Earth Attack will even kill low necromancers. Build up flying units... until you feel ready to take a castle.

also if you can empower some-one to a high earth make some seige golems, they each count as 100 men for besiegeing purposes

I tried to attack him, but he got so many undead in each castle that my demons were not able to damage it. Then I tried to outpreach him in order to get purgatory to burn his forces in the castle - but this forced me to make my mobile army a sitting duck, and he launched a strike to wipe them out.

What you need to do here, then, is destroy the gates to the fortress in a single turn. First what you need to do is look at the fort you are going to attack and take its fortification (probably watchtower? or maus? so not too much) value and add on the seige strength value of the defenders. Once you have this number, subtract the seige strength of the force you are planning to attack with. Then, whatever is left over is what you will need to make up with items. Just divide it by 50 and that is the number of Gate Cleavers you will need. Equip them on your commanders and attack and the gates will fall that same turn. He will need to *immediately* counterattack you to prevent you from storming.

and remember that every flames from the sky reduces the amount of guys there to repair

We haven't continued playing yet, as we had the idea to try out the older Star Wars Rebellion game in multiplayer. Even though I have lost every major space battle so far, it's still great fun .
But I hope that we return to dominions soon, I need some victories to buff my ego
