KBDS Normal/Hard/Impossible No-loss thread

I gotcha now. Yeah, Phantoming won't give you any extra troops. And I also get that I must find a way to incorporate the Darkies in combat so I can somehow grow them. I personally dislike sacrifice: it is way too risky of a spell, even though it works great with Trolls at night or underground, as you can potentially have a huge supply of ever-replenishing HP.

I guess I should find some easy enemies to kill this way. Sucks: it will take a very long time to grow a stack from 30 to max leadership this way. How about 2 stacks? Lol.

As for Phoenix? Don't we all wish. I hope the Russian buddies work on the game scanner as they did for KBAP. At least then you can scan your games and tell if you get the spell in the early stages of the game.

Finally finished that quest in Inselburg to get the king on the throne etc. What a pain in the ass! But there are 85 Dark Paladins there, which I'm very happy about because there were none in Portland at all. Until this point I had been struggling a bit with all four types of dragons (Red, Green, Black, Ice - not Bone ) and no fifth unit because I only had two Archdemons. The problem, as usual for KB games, is access to the units you want. There's nowhere to buy any dragons at this stage of the game, so I guess I will now stash those dragons and go back to level 4 units + Phantom + Resurrection, same deal as in previous KB games.

Having said that, the game is really enjoyable and I have to say that the first three islands are excellent in terms of map design, quest design, etc etc. I rarely felt like I was grinding for grinding's sake. On the other hand, Darenbam seemed pretty boring to me, reminding me of all those shitty Viking islands in WoTN

If you have 2 Archies, or a well upgraded Orc Sword skill for the spirit you might wanna beat the dragon in Portland, and then do the quest to give him a princess. This will make him an ally and move him to the Shelter. He sells Red and Black dragons, and may have an egg or two to boot.

My game looks to be devoid of Dark Paladins, so I am growing them on my own. It also seems devoid of Knights, so I may go for Black Knights instead, as you can make those yourself from prisoners. This is bad, as I have opened all islands but 1. I hope I can somehow get more to spawn, cause I can't say I like fighting handicapped.
