You really want that Hammer of the Cyclops, make sure to use some attack rear guys, preferably flyers so he does not escape and make sure you put a few commanders in, so one picks the hammer up.

Just surround the province until you have a satisfactory force to take it and capture the hammer.

Yep, massive number of extra commanders is good. The great thing is that the undead don't break easily so he won't run away too quick. If you have enough fast troops, you can swarm him.

Polypercheron and the other cyclops will use magic, though, but they have paths where the AI does not have a good selection in the grimoire.

IIRC they have extended grimoire. I distinctly remember my pretender getting hosed by the death-mage cyclops casting Disintegrate.

Ouchie.

Paralyze is your friend in battles like this. Big target with a key item. Paralyze x50 FTW!
