It could be a spoiler for someone because you can get a lvl 5 units early in the game without a fight. If it's not clear from my post, then I put it this way. You simply fight only with one Cyclop so you won't lose any unit. If you lose that one, you've lost the battle :-) With a proper tactics/spells you can beat normal/lethal enemies. At least you can grind like that most of the normal fights and get the medals = more leadership, then you can buy whatever units you want and switch again to full army = traditional way of playing.

Interesting. But i am doing well on my tactics .. Just cleared scarlet island and got Verona map ! hope i find some nice stuff there^^ ONly richard left he is weak to me but he burns my royal torns ;/

Try to do the battle without them. You are not bound to use 5 units all the time :) It worked for me a couple of times.

NO target on verona(at least what i snekad and i sneaked most of this isle) but paladinds in numbers around 200 in light hosue, quite hard to sneak but did and around 300 royals on barbarian tent. Not bad could be worse.
Now gonna expirement with various teams
So i got both droids inquis royal thorns snakes griphons and paladins. lvl 10 leaderdhip around 2,5k pretty nice i think. :p


Jesys christ this burning on AI heroes is still messed up like hell ... That Richard the cruel makes me mad .. he hits paladin wfor 70 dmg with flaming around but burns for 150 WTF??!!! I do not even do a half of that dame with burning as a mage with medals ...

Well, some heroes have "medals" as well. It is irritating, but you kind of have to live with it. Let's not forget that the paladins have only 10% fire defense. Knights have 30% and Horsemen have 20%.

At least it isn''t like the out of the box russian version with the messed up burning/poisoning. If he hit your paladin for 70, he would have probably burned for 600+.

I might restart with warrior or mage cause i'm stuck with Paladin and going nowhere fast :(

I just can't avoid losses. Only 9 paladins can join my army but the stacks on the 3rd,4th are all lethal more or less.

Well, try to keep it up until you get level 3 resurrection Skill. You will have no problems afterwards.

I just see how unbalanced classes are ... my bro is playing warrior .. he got dive skill and he just kills everything with it, even lethal with no loses and even thinking ... with mage i have to do insane crowd controly and evry battle last veeery long ,, geeez ... I am thinking like i am playing comleplty higher difficulty than him but indeed both are on normal :}
To compansate that dive power i would have to have geyser.fire rain 3 ... which is impossible so early on the game ..

I have not come across Resurrection and i've visited the first 3 islands..I though he was supposed to bloody start with it grrrrrrrrr :-P

Yeah, I need Resurrection too. Can't see it (or Target) on Verona. I will agree that Warrior seems easier so far. They really improved the Might tree this time around.
