Look, your army was horribly underequipped to deal with a D8 Lich. The dude would have messed you up with just the basic "Terror" spell (and many other spells that I won't bother to count here). Because a spell actually did something doesn't mean that it is OP. Don't throw units with no mage support at enemy D8 lich, that is just pure basics of the game. Mages kill troops, it's how they work. D8 mages kill a lot of troops. Besides, getting routed is just annoying since you don't actually lose units. The spell is in line with the vanilla fear spells. Trust me, D8 lich has many *much* better tactics at his disposal than just spamming Haunting Whispers, you should consider yourself lucky.
Try getting some mor30 troops or use nature mages to berkserk your troops. Snipe his liches and Ghosts with "Solar Rays". You have a lot of counters at your disposal, use them.
