Hey friend, just beat it the first enemy for you using Dwarves.

EQUIP
I swapped your weapon with the Ray Of Light.

BATTLE
Open with opening spell book and learning helplessness. Max it to level 3.
Cast it on 15 bone dragon in round one, kill it with your foremen
Pull back formation a bit so they can't get to your engineers.
Stoneskin the foremen (it doesn't work on ghosts and he will teleport ghosts to your front line). Cast Geyser whenever otherwise.
Use rage skill to burn. Use flasks from engineer to blind skeleton archers.

You are going to take serious losses but in the end the foremen survive as long as they have stoneskin (he will try to dispel, just recast it and geyser again).

Of note, I thought this battle looked harder than impossible. It isn't. It's actually a LITTLE easier. (maybe 30-40% less enemy leadership?) You really underpowered your rage skills which makes this a lot harder than it should be. A high level Guirada rage (fiery rage) would do wonders in incinerating the bottle necked melee and also their ranged squads. The way it works, it does immense damage over time if it inflicts a 'burn'. I know you are a Soothsayer, but even then I had one better than 3 hex. (A high level one hits 18 hexes). This is probably because of your skill build.

Also your skill build is... interesting, but you never got nifty stuff like Berserker in the might tree, but you maxed out the attack stats. [shrugs] You would have been better off getting some "Anger" so you could have build a stronger Rage machine.

You seem to have no items, so I'm guessing you destroyed or skipped them. I fumbled to see if we could get some wicked attack/defense/crit chance but could not find anyway.

If you don't want the save/screenshots here, I can remove them, just let me know.

I think it could help others who are looking around and having trouble.
