yes, warrior might be overall the hardest, but i was talking about the beginning of the game - mage has the hardest time. I wanted to see if it possible to do what i wanted right from the start.
travel update

fights done - 74,level 15. Cleared everything on debir,scarlet,bolo, left just zig-zag,annoying pirates and another continent scroll on rusty and went for fight for Verona scroll. Boy, i miss that dragon. If he could only just kick opponents back 1 tile, it would be helpful. Made it to Verona,picked everything,got royal griffins, no archmagi or demonologists though yet,but utter disappointnment with spells. NO target, no phantom so far,two crucial spells! Hope i won't have to restart, fights are getting extremely tough, and due to just one lot of res coming from 22 paladins and 48 inquisitors, i have to be very careful. droid combo was helpful against ground troops + few shooters,when shooters fell under fire rain, otherwise unusable. got trapper, guardian 3, working on fire mage. Traps are crucial, cannot imagine it without them. Many fights won by heavily employing fear spell. Still do not know which route to take, so saving runes - have 15-19 of each ready. Statistics are lousy - a:3,d:2, i:14, leadership 5000. Relatively lots of money - 60000+, but i was not buying any artifacts really. Can be done so far without dragon digging,see mr. dobrev?
