I think they simply need to add in a spell or two that dispel's buff's in combat. Maybe someone has already suggested this and its not a good idea for some reason, but a SC usually isn't a SC until they buff themselves up with a few choice spells. So throw in the ability to dispell their buff's... or at least dispel the buff's of a random individual. That way they are forced to take an large army to reduce the chance the SC's buffs are dispelled, and if they take a large army it can be routed.
