make sure u got magic spring then end the battle with max rage and mana

keep doing this area after area and you shouldn't have any problems in keeping the rage up
^^

Erm, that doesn't really work. Enemy difficulties vary, so I won't just run and kill another as soon as the last one has fallen - the next group might be too strong for me. I like to pick my fights. - I do use the Thorn Crown to save some rage between fights, though.

[Razorflame]

it does work for me use magic spring + resu and u be ok most of the times

[Shadowdrake]

well you'd need to be hit four times for an average Resurrection to be worthwhile, and being hit that much would probably use up most of your ressurection... unless you have griffins who would make that worthwhile anyway (quadruple damage per round )

[Razorflame]

ever heard of reducing a stack to minimal like les than 5 units?

their hit hardly does damage to the unit and with a totem behind it it wil heal the attacked unit

i have updated the post

more info is inside enjoy your read!

ITEMS

best item in the game is the DEAD SKULL

(+5 attack and +5 intellect is A GIFT FOR ANY CLASS

second best item ANGA"S RUBY
(for female armies)

gladiator sword>+10 might runes after 50 vics

banner of faith>+10 mind runes after 50 vics

ancient amulet>+10 magic runes after 50 vics

Baton>+1 morale to humans(last upgrade) too lazy to name all the batons

well of mana belt>+2 mana regen in combat (which is a GREAT BOON)

dragon cloack> +20% base defense and +15 % power of damaging spells excellent for mage

prismatic helm>+5 MANA and +20% power of damaging spells

xerus sword >+3 int and +3 att



look for 2 or more of these items in your start game to have a good start!

Im curious, what do you mean by check the shops for these items? All the shops on the island? Just the first two in the starting town? Or is there some way to browse through all the shops at once?

[Razorflame]

the most important ones

the main castle
the shop next to your main castle

then to mage tower(point where u get the rage box)
and possibly the 3 castles there(sometimes i am too lazy to check there)
and at graveyard the furious paladin

rest of the shops aren't that important

but nonetheless there is always a chance there is a good item hidden in there
it never hurts to scout all shops on darion(if your sure you want a good item start)

you save at start of the adventure anyway
and after your done scouting all shops and noted the good items or not

reload from save or start over again and redo ^^

I'm trying to understand how you came up with some of the 'best' items on that list. like why would +1 to human morale be such a big deal, or even the female bonus? why wouldn't you mention that dagger that gives +20% criticals?

does anybody use sets for bonuses also?

[Razorflame]

for pointer the +1 morale also gives leadership


and the female ring anga ruby is specially used for a female combo(power puff girls)

they beat the shit out of anything except bosses xD

but high iniative demonssses with dryads and sprites :p
pure ownage

ive been playing this game and i never used almost none of these strategies..
i cant think of a better spell in the beggining of fight - phoenix i got it quite early..
my armies mere mostly of neutral creatures up to where i got demons
but the fights are tough against strong melee demons and dragons... any hints what spell to use instead of ancien phoenix?
