Discrepancies to point out

[Urbz]

Well, back to the trap problem.

You guys think the medal's great, isn't it? Well, let me tell you a story.

Right now I'm facing Demenion and if I am to keep up that no-loss spree on impossible I have to beat him up without losing a unit. However, as a Mage, I have only 21k leadership. Demenion has a big Archdemon stack that halves everything it hits. In addition to that, he has 2 stacks of emerald green dragons. To make matters worse, the game spawns 2 traps just in front of my troops. So what happens?

Archdemon teleports to the free spot (not on a trap, of course) and halves the Gorguanas. The first emeral green dragon flies to a spot behind the trap, takes one of my units and drags it. The unit takes damage from the bite and from the trap. The second emerald green dragon does the same over the other trap. Now this is what I call starting with a severe handicap.

Well... Time to get back to figuring how to beat up demenion even through those difficulties.

Ouch DG !

Well, I managed to do it. From the 4th attempt that is... I was simply trying to make a point. People talk about medals being illogical, hard to get and so on. The trap medal can be both a boon and a curse. In this case, it was a curse. Since I'm a mage, I can't get the tactics skill to rearrange my troops and have to physically move them in order for the stronger troops to defend the weaker ones. If I move them, they go on a square next to a trap, begging for the emerald dragons to have some fun. If I don't I leave the weaker units unprotected, and the dragons simply go and have some fun with them.

It is a very irritating situation, but as usual, there is a way out of it. You just have to look for it

Since u fought eficienlty to this point , cant u aford to buy runes in Montera ?
( I play hard so i have more money )

[DGDobrev]

I buy runes only from lvl 50 upwards. From lvl 50 you start gaining only half the runes on a usual levelup and you may need the extra.

I cannot buy that many might runes to get all the way down to the bottom of the might tree where tactics is. The mage is doomed to play without tactics because runes cost a lot. Although I have close to 2 mil, that will be sufficient to get 1-2 skills in the might tree at most. Let's not forget that in the magic tree, there are skills that require might runes as well.

So if you play warrior or paladin, tactics is viable option. The mage simply can't get there, unless you trade all the mind and magic runes you get with her, which is extremely inefficient. This is why from the might tree, I fully developed only Rage Control and Anger.

yeah from might tree i go only for onslaught III rage control, exp for dragon .. second line max ... Demenion .. when i see his army it makes me think i will fight him later :p MArquise was a breeze when i got phantom and timeback .. arnold was pretty much tougher with his nasty teleport but still beat him .. oh and i had loss .. i didnt notice i have 1 demonologist lost .. as i am not going for no loss i do not bother to reload such long battle .... but i lost only due to fact i was sure its full stack ..

Ok it seems our succubus theory is flawed.

I just HYPNOTIZED (not charmed) some units, and I wanted to cast sacrifice with my hero, when AGAIN I can't rez anyone else but the succubi. WTF?

edit: I tried again with no succubi in my army, and again I can't reinforce anything.

[DGDobrev]

Well, that is weird. Unless they did something to stop the hypnotize/sacrifice tactic, I can't think of anything else. Hypno/Sacricife was a big deal in KBTL.

Still, this doesn't look at all proper, since you can resurrect something. There is something amiss. I should have tried that tactic with the russian version. I may do so sometime, when I reinstall it.

[Infiltrator]

Well, you can ressurect, but you can't go past what you had, which you can with sacrifice - only it works just on succubi :/

[travelingoz]

Infiltrator;
What units are you calling Succubi? What are the other units in your army and what level and damage is your Sacrifice spell at?

[Elwin]

Succub = demoness in every other game crreature looking like that is called succub ;p
