It is not hard IF you're playing ONLY Zerg companies, otherwise, just one elite (Crane or Knights) will cost the same as the enemy mage, moreover, the Lion Mage player will have 3 Sparks for a total of 63-75 APs + other units for a total of about 8-9 units!!! Most of the companies will have less or equal units than the mage focused one!

For Alahan - Lion + Sparkling or Bowman + Lion or two Bowmans should be enough (8 hex of run and 4 + offensive makes hiding really hard
)
For RAM Gargoyles + puppet block + bowman harras + scaterred swarm is also enough.
"You simply need two suicide units" AND the enemy messing up his formation, otherwise you'll have to pass through at least 2 units to get to the mage, and remember that you CAN'T avoid spell damage!
For Alahan: Lion can be blocked by other units, while archers have to move near your mage to see/attack him, but don't forget you have also either 2 Lions on your part to harass them or Seal of Dellarin and flying around Sparks... moreover, the mage function is to release the 4 Chastiment of Light and then die a glorious death, all your other units that will still be full health or near it will deal with the wounded enemy survivors...
For Ram: If you have 4-5 Skeleton HB + 1-2 Necros + Skeleton archers and/or Gargoyles then you can win (but you're playing Swarm!
), otherwise, if you don't play swarm, your central unit/s in the army will always be heavily wounded/killed by the mage before his death, you can't hide it behind a wall or anywhere else! (e.g., Priest, high lvl Necros, Paladins, Valkirye, any unit can be killed or heavy wounded by a well played mage!)
DW, you should try to play some friendly matches with Lima against his Mage army and try to win with different armies beside the Acheron Swarm one, you'll see that is not so easy as it may seem!
