You can clear most of rusty with your setup if you have target spell lv 3 and distortion 3. Though i recomend to dump paladin, inquisitor, and cyclop (optional) and switch to both droids.

Check wizard tower too, perhaps it has target, and maybe it also has phantom.

I don't do kitting. Usually my setup at your lv is rune mage, 1 archmage (can be swapped with 1 green dragon or 1 black dragon from scroll), 2 stack of repair droid, and guard droid. Heal Lv 3 and Stone skin Lv 2 (lv 3 if possible) is a must have, fear is also needed.

If i have collosus call scroll, i use it and i aim for black dragon (usually at night) if i use warrior or paladin, red dragon if i use mage.

I use this setup until i reach verona. Thas is for impossible play, i'm sure it also work for easy to hard.

My god this is a grind, I think i've started with an unlucky setup here. lvl 11 A1 D4 Int24 and fireball and flaming arrow does about 500 damage, poison skull cant be trusted to do sufficient damage. I don't have target and trap isn't that dangerous atm.

I find myself playing for a bit then getting pissed off and turning game off.

Well, if you want, you can switch to both droids (repaird droids split to 2 as always), 2 other slots is up to you, if you want easy game i recomend the last 2 slots to dragons. Always work in most situation, especially if you prefer no loss or no map kitting game or both. The most important spell is stone skin, and divine armor againts magic attacker.

The only downside is you are forced to use the boring droids untill you reach your prefered army setup.

I remember just how boring those Droids were. It took me 20+ turns to win in Bolo Dungeons with No-Loss. Back then I was quite a super noob, but oh wow, that was not fun.

I didn't realize there was a Physical Resistance stat back then. :)

I figured there had to be a faster/better way.

Shoot! Your intellect is more that double your level and you're still finding the game a grind?? :rolleyes: if only i was so lucky!

PS Unless of course you're playing warrior!

But warrior is never a grind; I've been playing mage impossible no kill; at level 25 i'm finding it to be a bit of a grind. I've done most of montero but tekron and ulmska are still too hard (no kill). Hum. Where oh where will i find my next couple of levels...

Try dersu.

That island is in the same level as tekron and umka.

No map yet :(

I think you can get the map in verona or montero.

If you're lucky with spell, unit and artifact setup, i think you can also get elon map from verona.

Wouldn't Dersu be the most difficult of the three with all those shaman?
