New player seeks advice about playing a mage and the tactics for no loss

[N3MES1S]

I tell u, i was the same opinion than u, when i started playing this game. Now i can say even on impossible mode its too easy once u know how to play. The first is gain leadership, glory 1 and glory 2. The second is to pick up the leadership flag on Bolo (the one right the stairs). The bolo map always appear on the coast, sometimes u need to kill monster of the abbys to pick it, sometimes not, and sometimes the map appears in the way to the robbers cave, so u need to kill the way patrol troop.

Once u get glory 1 and the leadership flag on bolo u should have a decent army. Third, grand strategy medal 1, four glory 2 (if u haven done yet). Then, u can pick the amulet of illumination on Bolo avoiding fighting if u can, and in the cave, u can pick up the amulet without fighting the droideka, if u see it doesnt move, u need to walk a bit closer.

Once u manage to do all of this, u should not have any problem to advance, specially on normal mode. I never play on normal, now i always play on impossible.

U can kite the cave entrance from Zag zag if u can make him to follow you along the coast, left to the cave, but be careful, when u exit the cave so him will be waiting for u.

As the mate said, use the bless inquisitor skill, a lot of people use inquisitors only for resurrect, and thats wrong.

I must say that i never finished the game on impossible with no loss playing as mage (its too hard and a bit boring). But with warrior is almost too easy.

About trap, dont waste efforts on using traps and raise the trap medal. Almost, not for now, do it when u have played more games. Cuz its mabe one of the hardest medals to raise. And traps do good damage along levels 1-10 but after that, level 1 traps almost useless if u dont use it on pure strategic game.
