The use of Inquisitors has been mentioned before, and it works. I am playing an impossible mage game and aiming for no-loss battles (so far so good).
If you have a decent Mana Accelerator, maybe even maxed it, and the Phantom spell you can always achieve a no-loss battle.
The key is to let the enemy empty his mana and you need to kill all but one enemy stack, preferably a unit with no retaliation or a ranged unit. If you use the Holy Anger ability three times and only use Phantom level 1, you will create more mana by Mana Accelerator than the mana you use to cast Phantom. Use the extra mana to ressurect your units (by using the Ressurection talent of the Inquisitor one time and Holy Anger only two times, the Ressurection or Eviln spell, or Phantom on the Paladin or Repair Droid.)
Sometimes I manage to stop the enemy before he has emptied his mana. The Fear spell is nice for this. Save one enemy stack of level 1 and 2 and Fear it when that is the only stack the enemy has left. This requires that you do not use level 1 or 2 units yourself, of course.
It might not be elegant, and you need to be patient. In my worst two battles, the enemy managed to kill over half of all my stacks by Lightning, Geysir, Armageddon etc. It took me over 100 turns to ressurect everything...
The only problem with this approach is bosses since you cannot use the Pet Dragon at all in those fights...
Another benefit using this approach is that it is no problem at all to reach 21000 spent Rage points during the game. I am about 2/3 through and already there...
