I imagine the cause of your necromancy is .40y, change 6?
EDIT: Ninja'd. But my rant wasn't.
EDIT 2:
EDIT 3: Yikes. Read my post out loud. Didn't mean to come out sounding so nasty. It's just that I don't believe that FfH should be as reliant upon magic as it is. I'd prefer that conventional tactics be made stronger, rather than arcane ones made weaker, but they are definitely not balanced as of .40x. I'll see about .40y, and may end up eating my words.
So, there's these things that you can use to break down city defenses. Those wooden things you get at Construction. They're called catapults. They hurl rocks (or cows) at defenses to weaken them. If those aren't to your taste, you need only fireball your enemy's defenses, THEN smash them with the tsunami/ring of fire/maelstrom. Requiring tactics beyond "hit 'em with tsunami" is hardly "dumbing down."...6. Cities reduce spell damage by a quarter of their city defense to units in them (so pyre zomebies, tsunamis, ring of flames, pillar or flames, etc isnt as effective against units in well fortified cities)...

EDIT 2:
I agree about at least some damage spells doing damage to fortifications, and tsunami's nerfing was a pretty big hit. But, in case you've forgotten, there's a fortification buster that doesn't require any mana....The nerf to Tsunami is actually pretty brutal. The first one is bad if you can't find Fire Mana anywhere since it's the only fortification buster. I think all the damage spells should do some damage to fortification if this change is going to remain in effect. If the fortifications are defending the people inside they must be taking the spells to the face, or wall, or whatever.
