Two Things

1. No Constant, Guaranteed Supply of Troops
I was afraid to fight pretty much anything in The Legend, because I knew I'd inevitably lose troops. At first I didn't think anything of it, until I realized the vendors I was buying from had a limited supply. After that point, I resorted to using weaker, more easily replaceable units and started avoiding every possible battle I could to conserve troops.

- Try not to lose troops at all! Now there are two spells in the game to let you achieve this (Time Back and Resurrection) plus two units (Paladin and Inquisitor).

-But if you are not into no-loss games: Frankly, the game is still very random, but there are so many places where you can recruit units that you are bound to find all units you need. There are also a lot of Castles and places that sell "Hordes" of units from level 1 to 4! (I found Hordes from Dragonflies to Guardsman to Hyterrants).

-On the other hand, some units can still be rare. I only found one place that sells Demonologists and Hyterrants were only at Sammael's castle (albeit as Horde). Also, even without losing a single Gargoyle, I did buy up all the avaliable ones as there were only two sellers selling them on Reha.

2. Major Jumps in Difficulty in Main Quest
I think this one might be partially as a result of my first concern, but it's the main reason I'm stuck in The Legend. Every time I finally start to make progress in the story, they send me to a new area where everything is suddenly "Overpowering" or "Impossible" and I'm left wondering what I need to do to catch up. I'm definitely going to play Armored Princess on easy if I get it, that's for sure.

By the way, if anyone has advice for those problems in The Legend, I'd appreciate it.

Well, good news is - you can get to any island you want without even starting the main quest. Bad news is... the Maps that lead to new areas are guarded by killers stacks. Sometimes, you can lure them away and grab the map - sometimes you can't. I was around Level 30 when I got to Reha, the Lizardman island, for example. But there is a "dificulty order" of the islands, so if you go through them in the correct order you won't have any serious problems. (First few: Debir -> Scarlet Wind -> Bolo -> Rusty Anchor -> Verona)

Also - to get the Pegasus wings, you need to defeat a strong stack to cross the bridge to Montero, and then kill an enemy hero (strong mage) in a castle to get the wings. But once you get them, life becomes much easier.
