Well, it was the same againts scrounger, delaying them, using mystic egg, need a bit of luck, probably mine is safer due to disabling all shamans at early stage, but then again, another problem also arise, orc chieftain and ogre also proves to be serious damage dealer, combined with the poison from that 1k goblin axe thrower, they can do dmg that is beyond revivable for no loss game.

But, it's possible to win againts scrounger with no loss in impossible, it's just hard and long (mine was abouth 25 turn if i remembered right). Too bad i left my screenshot at my PC at home (atm i'm using notebook and far from home).

The key is to evade astral attack from goblin shaman, in other words, disable goblin shaman asap (and orc shaman if you can), then it's a matter of troops placement. Also need very very high defence and attack (i have about 27 attack and 44 def).

Since i'm using paladin i can't disable both shamans at once. My troops are dryad, rune mage, paladin, hunter, black dragon. I use dryads (onslaught 3 and caution 3 are a must have) to disable goblin shaman and lv 1-3 stacks at turn 1, while using sheep at orc shaman. But the weird thing is, scrounger teleported her orc shaman right next in front my paladin (i'm lucky), then i move my black dragon hoping that two ogre stacks won't hit it, well, i don't know why those two ogre attacking my paladin. Then i just move rune mage, and hunter to a safe place and block them with summons (from rune mage and dryad). Turn 2, i cast target to paladin, my paladin tank both ogres and orc chieftain and the rest of the ranged stacks, while black dragon and bone dragons (got it from eggs) help thining those ogre and orc shaman, rune mage and hunter thining goblin axe thrower (i hate its poison). Turn 3, stone skin at paladin and moving my paladin so only 2 ogre and 1 orc chieftain stacks can attack it (effectively disabling other melee stacks), the rest is the same (thining dangerous threats), turn 4 phantoming dryads for more summons, fodder and diversion, then bone and black dragons goes helping dryad and rune mage to thin goblin axe thrower, goblin shaman, next turn is just the same. I use pet dragon astral dmg ability whenever i have 80 rage to thin ogre and orc chieftain and other melee stacks, ball of lightning also necessary. At later turn i just left 7 goblin axe thrower while resurecting losses (mainly paladin since he did most of the tanking). Most of the damage are done by black dragons and pet dragon. Goblin shaman and orc shaman never cast astral attack due to target and scrounger stupidity, yet i use +70% astral resistance items, what a waste.
Sorry, I've been rushing through my posts on key details. You are right, you said Rakush, not Scrounger. I have been looking foolish lately haha.

Funny thing is, in my game, I did NOT want those blood shaman right next to my rune mages haha.

Argh, now I remember the horror of when I was about to win in no-loss and the stupid orc chieftain came over and did his Spiritual BULLCRAP that wiped out my dragons and griffins (that popped out of the mystic egg). They dared to sneak past the "wall" to try to sabotage the enemy goblins/shaman.

I had to reload a few times and I think turn 25ish was probably about right for me too.

I do remember the glee in my face when I saw another 12 black dragons? (Mystic Egg rounds up the leadership rolls. woot), pop out of my mystic egg during that battle. Thank goodness Scrounger is not a Geyser freak.

Almost as good as when I saw Black Dragons show up in the Wizard's Tower last battle. Ugh, now that was a long one too. Rune Mages again saved me... in one hell of a fight.
