Royal thorns, have they been mentioned?
I have been scouting through the forums for various tips on how to make a third runthrough more fun, however I have failed to see anyone mention the enourmous power of the royal thorns.
They were somewhat limited in my game but I had enough to make most fights ridiculously easy. I just avoided using them against other heroes and dragonstacks. I had the item which gives them 100% to damage+ 50% slower rage reduction after battle... my companion held a +1 to poison damage dagger and I was weilding a +20% to critical hit sword. In Elon I got dryads to produce more thorns and I sometimes used the time scroll to renew another summon with the Royal thorns. Each stack of the small thorns were often making crits for 20k damage wiping out any stack + another 1k thorns on the dead body using the paladins "extra turn" if available in the same round. Against Baal I had so many thorns up that there was barely space to move. As for keeping the Royal thorns alive I used demonologists and sacrificed paladins to keep up their numbers. |

Yea; most of my games only a few show up (there seems to always be two guaranteed loads of them; one on debir with 3 to 7 and one on [] with 30ish.
In one game (warrior) over 1000 showed up; had an impressive stack of ~1000. Only problem was resurection. The warrior usage of them resulted in thorns in stakcs of 3000 or 4000; throw in phantom on the royals and .. |

Not to mention that the Spell target isnt needed, since the the thorn stacks automatically attract the attention of the AI ... most times.

most times if they cannot reach a real unit
but archers might hit your real units |
