Impossible Warrior - no losses?

I started a paladin 'cos i like a balanced hero, but seems like its not the best choice as I read. the fist time I found my first paladin unit and resurrection spell (yes both in the same place) was not until I fought over 130 no-loss hard won battles with blood and tears (and Zhuangzi I know what its to be married and investing your 8 hrs a day in a game, it could be a pain in the ass and all about the golden games of past.. (MOO2, Master of magic, star control 2, heroes2-3, romance of the three kingdoms series, starwars x-wing, tie fighter, x-com ufo, jagged alliance2 and unfinished business.. and it goes on.., check out www.hotud.org for the old games and such. I have a PS2 and 3 and I dont even want to mention my months dedicated into square enix games.. (did anybody say FinalFantasy being a hardcore gamer I felt like home while reading these threads. after the paladins, it was relatively easy, with the inquisitor's sword I could get 75 paladins, and 120 inquisitors.. but up until now I avoided boss fights, maybe with the addition of paladins in my army, I should give it a try.. my strategy up until now was using target lvl 3 on my dragon, increasing its defence with stone skin, raising them with inquisitors if needed be and wiping them away with my beholders. on though fights I accumulate my rage -either with potion or after a relatively easy fight without using much mana- and lay a mystic egg. it really helps, anything that tanks is more than welcome. my army consists of;
beholders
evil beholders
red dragons
paladins
inquisitors
being a paladin hero, inquisitors and paladins are utitilized at maximum with increased dmg and such.. I also completed the inquisitor set.
one hint that i want to share is about battlefield. İslands consist of parcels of different battlefields. we all know very well that even the tiny obstacle on that battlefield saved our life countless times. when you enter an area the game creates all the battlefields, and place them on island. if you didnt like it, you can exit and enter area again. if not the shape of the battlefield change, the places of the obstacle do.. sometimes you should lure an enemy to better battle grounds on your behalf.. for example you wouldnt want to fight with an undead army in a graveyard if you could.. one great place to fight and win an invincible enemy easily is on dersu island, right in front of the spiders cave. Dont you like those battlefields with only 3 square(they r more like hexagonals I guess) wide path? and if there r some obstacles too its almost only one square for enemy units to pass. there's one lizardmen hero with only melee fighters and only uses phantom spell.. an easy catch.. and you can lure other gusy to this battlefield too.. btw there's this dersu island and uzala island in the game. actually Dersu Uzala is the name of the oscar winning movie filmed by Akira Kurosawa in 1972, original name 'dersou ouzala' akira kurosawa filmed it based on the russian explorer vlademir arseniev's memoirs.. I think this is where the developers of the game inspired. The movie is really moving, I recommend it. anyway thnx for reading ppl, this is my very first entry on this forum.
P.S. I still didnt finish the game

Sounds like you are going fine there. Yeah, I know about the different terrain thing for the battles. It's just another one of the small details that makes this a great game. In terms of the bosses, you will find the Spider and Frog to be the easiest. The Driller is comparatively a lot harder. I love your reference to Star Control 2 as well. For many, many years now I've been looking for a space adventure game as good as this and I've never found it. Space Rangers 2 is the closest I've got to finding it, and in fact that's how I found out about King's Bounty.

being a paladin you have gotta be somewhere in btw warrior and mage, but somehow I always end up having intelligence as my highest stat. unlike the heroes series, in this game all ur stats come from items and altars/training dummies u touch. so I guess its more like a choice than a fate. but the real sad thing is I dont even use a dmg spell ever. As a conclusion my stats really suck.
One issue I want to underline is my army. although I prefer archers(beholders or elven ones depending on the enemies resistances) to be the main dmg source, my paladins also hit hard. I see that for no-loss impossible run paladins are a crucial element. so why not utilize them in battle? they seem to be slow and we need them right in the center of our troops to resurrect them. to overcome these issues I recommend teleport spell. it comes very handy, your paladins are right there when you need'em and where you need'em, almost like the cavalry. and towards the end of the battle you can place them right in the center of you troops via teleport.
and about star control 2 (there was also project nomad from the old times) it realy brings back sweet memories. years later I also finished star control 3, but I couldnt get the same taste. space rangers 2 did excite me for real, its a real gem with all those details and beautiful 2D graphics (oh how I miss'em) if only I could find time to play it more. do you recommend it? 'cos honestly I still have its shortcut on my desktop..
P.S. I think it'd be fun if ppl could share screen-shots of their desktops

[Zhuangzi]

Yes, I'd recommend Space Rangers 2. Katauri did a 'Reboot' edition which is basically the patched game. I played both versions and honestly there isn't that much difference. I think I played SR2 through twice and I loved doing so, but I got to the stage where I didn't see what else of interest there was to do with the game. The actual combat (i.e. space ship battles) are quite weak, so I don't think it has the long term appeal of King's Bounty. But that's just my opinion.

My desktop isn't very interesting at present. The game I've been playing a fair bit of recently is PopCap's Plants vs Zombies, which is an insanely fun casual game. I played at least 20-30 hours of this over a week or so. That's the only game I've enjoyed other than KB:AP in the past couple of months.

Not to mention incredibly addictive... Brraaaains!!!

As for my desktop... Nothing much on it (KBTL, KBAP, PES2010, Plants and Zombies), but the wallpaper is Xeona from KBTL. The guy who drew her most certainly left his "hands" there

EDIT: Added the wallpaper.

My desktop :
KB:AP. Warcraft3 tft, brother's WoW.Silent hil 1,2,3. Playstation II emulator.
And tons of tools for PC diagnosis, orthos,victoria,everest,occt,cpu-z etc

My four year old daughter LOVES playing Plants vs Zombies with me, so much so that she has started doing a zombie walk herself with the 'BRAAAINS!' cry. It is very addictive, but I got to the end of the campaign and did most of the challenges (not the Survival ones yet) and I've suddenly stopped playing.

And cheers for that wallpaper, DGD. Now it's my wallpaper too.

[DGDobrev]

And a beautiful wallpaper it is I've been keeping it for more than 3 months and it still looks as pretty as the first day.

Come to think of it, Xeona was one of the best wives in KBTL and was a good match to any hero who's doing a no-loss game.

She was always my favourite. From memory she had two weapon slots, which was sweet.
