Started a new no-loss impossible mage game and want to try to play it as quickly as possible (using the 102 hours route). But I was really struggling in the beginning. In Debir I had to give up the fight against the undead castle. Since I will return to Debir this it not a problem. Moved to Scarlet and managed to do a few battles there. The problem was that those battles drained me for all my mana and rage. This means that I had to wait, or wander around until the mana recovered a little. Due to this waiting so far I am currently in the evening of the first day in Scarlet. But then I got lucky

A map I picked up that I already had gave me Call Collossus. Since my leadership was just above 1100 it was enough to get me a troll. The first time I have used trolls actually. They are wonderful as tanks. Now I think I can do all the battles in Scarlet without waiting at all between them. The game turned from frustrating to me being 100% in control
Another thing that is positive with this game is that there were two Novice's Dresses in Debir. I bought one of them and the other must wait until I return. These dresses upgrades to Dress of the Magess (+800 Leadership, +4 Int, +30% crit with archmages). I am looking forward to getting both of them
