Like creating a full stack of horsemen early in the game as soon as you get sacrifice by luring out the huge mob guarding them through the pathfinding bug and making a full stack out of the mere 6 horsemen in the tent later. Also through sacrifice it is almost impossible to actually "dry out" a certain valuable creature's stacks again like the royal snakes. As long as you got at least one remaining specimen alive and kicking, they're saved from extinction! 
Maybe one could more easily tolerate the aftermath of critical battles with extreme casualties on impossible with the miracle of sacrifice!!! Sacrifice... don't leave home without it! Especially if leaving the home under an impossible difficulty setting.  |
The only problem there is actually getting the sacrifice spell. If you get lucky you can find it early in the game but so far on my mage I'm already lvl 17 (impossible) and haven't found it anywhere. It was hard for me to keep down losses because I also never found Resurrect and the only place selling inquisitors had just about 60 of them.
