Found 2 Belts of the Victor (and wearing both) that's +100% defence all Units, Mithril Shield (+8 def), Magicians's Cape, Crown of Chaos + Magical Diploma gives my Engineers Droids and Shamans 95% Mag res (Gremlion fight was trivially easy) - and even my droids now have 60% mag res! My base defence for the Rune Mages is 121! To top it all i have found 6 Ancient Knowledge Scrolls in this game!
Now i have found both Eye of the Dragon and Draconix (between them that is -30% requirements for all dragons!) But i am not even using a Dragon army, so now i have a dilemma - what a waste not to use the dragon artifacts - but the Droids + Engineers are also working out so well for me, so not sure what i will do.

Dude, two belts of the victor? What class and difficulty? Can you save your initial saved game for me if it is Impossible mode?
Do you mean Heart of the Dragon? Eye of the Dragon is +500 leadership and -50% attack rating for enemy dragons.
Belt of the Victor works MUCH better with units that have a high base level of defense. You could almost argue that it is overkill though since damage reduction is capped to 1/3 total damage once you get +60 defense over the opponent.
However, to gain +2 speed is fanastic! Paladins are finally mega deadly, ogres are mega fast, etc. Hmmm.
