I wonder what level was your mage or what Leadership?
I also hadn't Shaman yet but I don't think Shaman totem is healing plants at least for Royal Thorn it seems it doesn't heal them. I could not have quote it right but I doubt. |
Level 11 with 5400 leadership. Havent found any cursed ghosts yet. And yeah I really value the gift "trick" on Inqs myself. It helps so much when I cannot spam resurrection. (Dont have it yet)
Most fights can be done alot more easily if you are ok with just a few deaths I noticed. But some enemy heroes really favour hiting each of your stacks with units once with a damage spell. Same can be said about the gremlin towers.
It wasent so hard to prevent the Krakken from hurting me troops initially aslong as I keept out of his range and killed the devilfish the same turn they spawned. The trick for me was to save the archer plants in the back and send the melee plants to the front. So in the end I had 4 or was it 5 large stacks of archer plants that never took damage. This helped ALOT as the devilfish stacks go up quite fast and peaked at 600 in the end.
After a while however I had to use all my focus on killing the devilfish and in the end when I killed Krakken I had 6 stacks up all clustered in the northwest. I solved this by almost killing the outer devilfish and had them fight really weak plants. This way I could use the ranged to pick off the 600 stacks and not having them roam free and kill my important units.
I think Royal thorns may be my new favourite unit

I took screenshots of this, but I cannot find them. I checked both the game folder and the save folder under my documents. Ill give it one more go when I get home from work however. But its strange as I know my way around computers so I wouldent normally not be able to find something.
