the all female elf team is certainly powerful. i played that in my last game, and it served me very well -- although be wary of magic resistant enemeis like black dragons.
in my current game, i'm trying a new tack because the druid's staff was in the first castle. frog wife, druid's staff, and an all snake, sprite, druid army. what this means is that all the snakes get 150% to attack. royal snakes have +27 attack -- essentiallyd ouble damage. snakes and poison snakes have ~ +20 attack each. they all have no retaliation and better survivability than sprites and wood fairies. I'm still at level 12 and am waiting to see how this army turns out. But up to this point it's been fantastic for a mage. I mainly sit around nuking waiting for the enemy to get to me, in any event. So the lack of mobility by the snakes doesn't really matter. and their first strike is a lunge in any case -- that stuns the enemy for a turn, in the case of snakes and marsh snakes, to boot.

It is easy to give yourself spells at the start of a new game just edit hero.txt inside ses.kfs. For your given class of character under spells add spell_sacrifice=3 for third level sacrifice spell. Unsure if there is any way to add a particular item to an existing game.

Okay, the game is finally getting quite challenging at around level 25/26. I am finding that there are lots of enemies listed as Overwhelming or Impossible. This is with 19,000 leadership. I haven't been able to fully clear out the Land of the Dead or Demonis as yet for this reason, even though I have completed the main quests there. It's actually a bit sad that the main quest fights are easier than the ordinary ones.
 In Haas' Labyrinth, the 7 dragons are listed as Impossible. I just beat one fairly easily though using my 'all elf' team (Hunters, Elves, Lake Fairies, Sprites, Dryads). Unfortunately, there are no hordes of Lake Fairies or Dryads so I am having to use Sacrifice in the Gremlin castle to replenish my stacks. This is going to be quite boring and time consuming. I spend a lot of time waiting for mana to regenerate... It would be better if I had the dwarven telescope for the archers and the elf wife, but no matter. One of Haas' dragons had two stacks of 360 Knights each.  But they were easily killed with slow/Sprites etc. I had wanted to finish the game in around 30 days but all the stuffing around trying to clear out Demonis and the Land of the Dead has meant it's day 34 already.  Oh and I have 2.2 million gold, so it's just a matter of time....

lvl 6 on impossible so far...
I have trap, gift, and phoenix.... still no sacrifice, ice snake, phantom, hypno, or other uber spell tho... army: snakes, inquisitors, cannoniers, archmage, bowmen... altho workin on clearin the swamp brothers quest now and likely to replace the bowmen with beholders soon. so far I have put 2 levels into spirit mastery and the rest into the magic tree.. since I have no ice snake I am just saving up for higher magic and forgoing leveling up chaos magic. I guess 2 traps on round 1 will be pretty nice.

I share the completionist instinct, but in this game it's an instinct that does not serve you well.

I win.
 I got bored by level 28, so I rushed through to the end. It's pretty funny that the 'boss fights' are very easy compared to the Overwhelming and Impossible stacks wandering around, but there it is. I finished on day 36 with over 2 million gold. Score of 1274. However, there were HEAPS of things I didn't do this time, like close the Demon portal, completely clear out the Land of the Dead and the Gremlin Castle, and I virtually didn't touch anything in Murock at all. So I probably would have finished on level 30 at about day 40-42 if I could have been bothered. Looking at the stats, it is no surprise that I killed stuff with spells (51%), troops (46%) and rage only 3% I barely used the ragebox at all towards the end, only Soul Drain. My best unit was Sprites with a massive 21.3% of total kills! When you consider I only reached Ellinia at level 19, you can see how overpowered a big stack of Sprites/Lake Fairies with Anga' Ring equipped is. For the final fight I had red, green and black dragons, Sprites and Horsemen. I nuked them on turn 1 and finished on turn 2. Talk about anticlimax. I think this thread has proved that not only is this game possible on Impossible as a Mage, it's not even that hard. I thought I would struggle with money but I had over 2 million gold at the end, and I wasted a lot on Armageddon when I couldn't be bothered to fight properly. So money just isn't an issue for a Mage, period. I've really had enough of King's Bounty for now. I need a rest.
