Mid-game crisis :<

[Elwin]

Karador doesn't require melee only( i had 2 archers), however its good to have them to stand on corpse to not ress them, other way could be marauder who can explode corpse or smg like that. There is also another way (but according to what you write another spells is not an option )- using weak necro call on his fallen units, so even if they die again he wont rise like 50 vamps but maybe 10 or so depends on your necrocall power,

Karador armies indeed are much less in numbers than usual forces there, but this rressing all the time make it tougher
