Spells and skills for warrior

[xmas_critter]

I am lvl 10 warrior, i would like to know what kind of skills I should learn in the magic tree because I only use scrolls atm but I take pretty heavy losses and maybe if I get few spells I could limit them.

As a warrior, i would recommend distortion magic the highest, though order is useful as well. Don't focus on chaos magic, because your int will be too low to cast most of those spells effectively. Try to max distortion ASAP, distortion magic is based around messing with troops stats, position, number etc. useful (possibly even essential) distortion spells to look out for: trap, haste, slow, phantom, magic shackles, teleport, target, blind, pygmy... and others, likely, but all those spells are highly useful, and their use should be fairly obvious once you get them, i won't bore you with an in-depth tactical analysis of each spell.

Another good way to reduce losses is by ressurecting those that die, there are several ways to do this: 1. the ressurection spell, which is nice if you can find it, and requires order magic. 2. sacrifice, a chaos magic spell that damages one of your own stacks to increase the numbers of another stack (there are too many strategies for sacrifice to mention, try searching the forum to find some of them). again, this relies on actually finding the spell. 3. the creature "inquisitors". They have an ability that ressurects troops based on the # of inquisitors you have. Sadly, it only has one use per batttle, but the spell "gift" (order magic), if cast on them, will give them another charge.

Hope all that helps

I got Distortion to level 3 what do you suggest now?

[Dabrinko]

Find and learn those spells he suggested.

[xmas_critter]

I meant if I should get Order or Chaos magic too, I have those spells he mentioned aside from pygmy and so far all of them have came in handy

[Dabrinko]

Do you feel that you can afford order, then do so. Remember that you need a lot of crystals to learn and upgrade the spells as well as learning order.

I'm using a a paladin and I use Order spells every single combat, so I think it's good.

quick question, does the amount of monsters in enemy troops increase after each day? I made it to the Dwarf Castle in Kondor but all troops are match or strong to me and my day count is like 30

[Dabrinko]

Nah, they are all predetermined when you start a new game. Enemy troops don't grow, but neither do yours (except the "hordes", which are in endless supply).

[xmas_critter]

ok, then I'll start killing random troops to gain some strenght so that every battle wouldn't be a struggle, also where can I find some strong melee troops like Horseman and Knight atm I have Griffins and Polar Bears... I killed the guards of Greenwort place but they only had 12 horseman for sale... if I advance in main quest can I get them in King's Castle?

[Dabrinko]

Yes, after advancing (after opening the Creiston mines, I think) you can buy Horsemen in "hordes" in Greenwort. Well worth it.
