try to do as more quests as possible, and avoid enemies, it's not very hard;)

In my humble opinion, this is not a very good strategy, at least not until you hit level 31.
Kill as many enemies as possible, that will give you gold and experience and sometimes loot which will make you stronger. :rolleyes:

Have you destroyed Enemen yet?

the boy in the graveyard? no, he whaled on me when i tried but i haven't trying since. also there are creature in the sealed castle i cant beat but i completed the mission.

Eh?:confused:

Actually, it is a good strategy, because your hero will be much weaker at that point than the armies in the Isles, especially if you've been ignoring the (small) leadership bonus offered at level-up, so it's a good idea to collect all those leadership banners on the isles (there are lots), runes and other stuff.

I have never had any problems with that. Not when playing on hard difficulty, anyway. I have never tried impossible, so I suppose I shouldn't be making such broad claims. :rolleyes: At what difficulty are you playing, Skeletons777?

Is that a bad thing? It always seemed such a waste of an opportunity to rise the stats to me.

Of course it is. But I don't see why one shouldn't be able to kill the enemies at the same time. Wouldn't that be twice as good?

I try to start out lightly on my first travel to the Islands of Freedom. Joining the brotherhood and raiding the prison shouldn't be too hard. But first, I would recommend defeating Enemen (it wasn't to hard for me - I killed the necromancers, otherwise he would often raise more troops than I killed each turn- :() and collect the remaining vampires and skeleton archers in the cemetery. I would also destroy the statues to kill the Furious Paladin so that he starts selling undead troops. With skeleton archers, decaying zombies, cursed ghosts and vampires in your army, few things will be really difficult at the freedom isles especially when making a good use of sacrifice and necro call. (you might even get a problem with having too many cursed ghosts in the end :rolleyes:) And don't forget to marry Rina, that may be the difference between life and death later in the game. ;)

If you are not a mage expect heavy losses, with a mage you don't even need an army-

Enemen castle(I was level 9) was also perfect for this approach because you can create a bottleneck of demons in front of your army, the other approach with invisibility and kamikaze works even better.

What is your army composed off and where have you spent your upgrades?

As a paladin you should have access to ressurection. Use it tactically, cast it right at the end of the fight to get back some killed troops. If you have the skill that lets you regain mana each turn in combat - if you weaken the enemy enough you can just let your mana replenish and ressurect everyone (who isn't too high a level).

Once you get to the islands, try visiting the orc embassy just to the north. You'll need to win a battle first (a somewhat tough one). But once you do you can recruit shaman who are a very useful unit.

I just got to the Islands and the fights got really alot stronger than I expectet. Just liberated the Orc-Castle. Thinking about hiring the catapults and the shamans. But don't know if it is okay to keep my beloved cannoneers then, moral-wise!?!

What I wanted to know: How can you fight this Emenem-boy? He just tells me that I don't know the master "Kr....". Theres no option to fight him. What did I miss?

Thanks.
