Dear "goodplayer" I guess rancor26's answer is more than accurate. Indeed it's simple, you just have to add the - dev line out of the quotes.

As for the final battle on impossible... sorry guys but I don't get it. I restored an old save, replayed the last two islands, this time I got distortion to 3/3 and used the inquisitor's blade instead of selling it. I played the final battles a lot more carefully than before and indeed spawning paladin phantoms opens up whole new strategies. Indeed using the singing dagger K'Tahu went down a lot easier (he still wiped out 4/5 of my army but at least after 12 rounds he was taken care of and I could start resurrecting). But Baal...

This time I had 190 paladins, 279 black knights, 300+ inquisitors, 800+ priests and 109 royal griffins. I used stone skin and phantom as advised. Result? on round 25 I was left with 100 paladins against 2 stacks of archdemons, several of executioners and imps, and Baal was "down" at 140,000 health...

I repeat, I DO believe the AP champs like dobrev do it on impossible with 0 losses, but I feel like an amateur card&coin trick practitioner trying to emulate David Copperfield.

I'll be away next week, but I think I am giving up anyway. Maybe I'll try as warrior, but beating Baal on impossible as mage just seems... well, impossible, at least for me.
