Yes you cannot get more sea dogs BUT you can recruit for example 2 more archmages, 7 more priests and 3 more inquisitors also i think 642 leadership is pretty low on your level you should try to get items which give more leadership, medals and glory skill.

[Arilian]

You cannot hire more Sea dogs but you can hire more from the other kinds.

What you should do:

1. Get the Glory Talent. I dont like it, but your leadership is two low.
2. Use spells a LOT. Trap, Slow is like the two best spells here.
3. Buy Royal snakes. Learn to use their no retailation ability and the wait command.
4. Buy Royal Thorns. There should be some in debir (not surely)


But most importantly:

You should try a warrior first if you have never played this kind of games!
Also check the "mage impossible and mage hard" for exper advices.
Normal is extemely easy if you know what to do.

Oh, ok, tnx to both of you.

I wanted to play mage
Well, I will se what can I do...

[Shady]

Umm how can i get that Glory items and medals for leadership?
Sorry, noob question :C

[TemjinGold]

Glory is on the Mind Tree (the middle one.) You need a lot of green runes for it. To get the leadership medal, you need to win fights w/o losses. The easiest way to do that is to use shooters rather than melee. You mage should cast spells to keep the enemy from getting to you and your shooters should finish them off.

Do you see that shield being sold at the shop in your screenshot? It's a Knight's Shield that gives +1 defense and +300 LEADERSHIP. That would pump you up to 942 leadership. It costs 11,000 gold, but your screenshot shows you have 24,000+ gold to spare.

Look for such items in shops to increase your leadership. There is a companion in Scarlet that could join you, and he would give you extra item slots so that you could use many more items.

One more thing...

What are crystals for? How do I get them exept of finding them and where can i see how much crystals do I have?

Btw, I started to play with warrior Its ok... for now

[Zechnophobe]

Shady, just to make sure you understand, your Leadership (You have 642 in the screenshot) tells you how large EACH of your units can be. So right now you can have 642 leadership worth of Mages, 642 Leadership of Seadogs, etc.

If you hover your mouse over one of your troops, it will tell you how many you have, and how many more you could get.

Crystals allow you to learn or upgrade spells, once you have learned that school of magic in the MAGIC tree.

You find them on the map, get them for quests, and other random places.
