Hi folks,
I played KB: The Legend much earlier this year, but was frustrated by the fact that I was getting C++ Library errors that were shutting it down intermittently. The only way to play (without manually disabling services till I found the conflict) was to start up windows without almost all the services and play without sound. To cut the story short, I ended up abandoning my Paladin soon after Karador.; the community back then also didn't seem as awesome as it is now (and a word of sincere thanks to the master-posters here who help us newbs out!).
I'm playing again now - I've abandoned my Paladin and have started again with the Mage. I'm keen to finish it at least once, with the items and the decisions I've made and perhaps after I've finished it, I will return to have another crack - for a 'perfect' run as it were. Before I do that, and before I commit to playing though, there are a few questions I need to ask. Generally, as per normal forum etiquette, I tried to look most of these up, but it's pretty hard to find most of it, since most of it seems to be pretty obvious (at least to everyone but me ><)
* What is a 'no casualty' run? I 'think' it means not ending a battle having lost any creatures, but Bucazaurus posted a screenshot at game end showing 'enemy casualties: 30' - so now I'm no longer certain I've got the idea right.
*What is the optimum order in which to upgrade my talents as a mage? So far I've only got the one point in scouting, the rest are for 3/3 cheap spell upgrades, the two starting talents, and 1/3 in each of the schools of magic for copying spells. I'm short of Magic runes atm, but about 15-25 of the other two. Too scared to use them in case I make a stupid blunder.
I feel kinda wimpy for asking this last one: but you masters are playing on Impossible - whereas I am merely playing on normal. As such, it seems that the 1 stack of creatures + combination of tricks etc is pretty much par for the course as a mage. On a first proper playthrough, is that the 'proper' mage strategy, or is it trying to get the highest score. At the moment, I'm doing quite well with my army of Ancient Bears, Polar Bears, Horsemen, Knights and Priests. I nuke the enemy, and let my priests heal (sometimes I cast healing too) and with this I rarely lose any creatures. Is this an ok strategy for the rest of the game, ie using armies, or do I 'need' to adopt the 1 army, glot armor + armageddon etc etc?
I have many more questions, but I think I will come to those when the time comes. In the meantime, thank you to anyone who reads this, and if you can help, I would really appreciate it!
