The original of crossworlds or... ?

for me warrior of the north is a big let down.
playing on impossible and playing mainly without losses at all.

Well, technically I only beat it once. First run was with Viking using Rune Mage / Paladin / Horsemen. I threw in a few Rangers and Elves and almost got to 100% crit chance, but the broken Unicorn Quest made it so I couldn't get my 2nd Yew Bow.

My Soothsayer, I stopped short at the last island because I noticed a broken quest bug and it was already pretty easy at that point. I was using mostly level 5s with Ancient Phoenix being my primary damage / tank. Or, switching to Greasy Mist + Fire Rain to deal 20-30K damage PER HEX.

And I have slowed my 2nd Viking run considerably as well. Already killed Loki. Using mostly Demons as my damage dealer with very high critical hit. Infinite retaliation with nearly 100% critical chance speeds up battles a lot.

I've specificallly decided not to play the Skald because I find his unique abilities bring nothing special to the table. Resurrecting 90% of a single stack is terrible compared to 100% and while the songs are nifty, I think they only work for the first 2-3 rounds? The higher leadership is a pretty strong advantage though but nearly 100% crit seems to be ~ or better than high leadership advantage. I also typically have a surplus of mind runes anyway.

They all have their pros and cons. For true no loss, Viking has it very hard on the first island. You really need tons of luck. On my second Viking play through, I had to take losses on Uldar and Ahriman as I did not get lucky with Call of Nature like the first time. Soothsayer was pretty easy IF you can get Ancient Phoenix somewhat early on. (not to mention Level 3 Healing is an AWESOME nuke spell and works well with Level 5 units).

I never played The Legend. I really love Crossworlds with the Rune Mages that can resurrect Black Dragons.

There are things I do like about Warriors of the North. The mid-game is really flexible so I can build my "super army". I usually do playthroughs with general themes, and this time through my overpowered theme is using an unorthodox team

Archdemons, Bone Dragons (yup, you heard it. Bone dragons), Demonologists, Paladins, and Demons.

I like it.
