Playing on Impossible w/ Mage. Level 10 and about to sail to Freedom Isle.
I kinda cheated (well not really) by starting over and over, while checking the items given in the first 2 castles. I was lucky enough to start with the Banner that gives 6 defense, 800 leadership and 10 mind runes after 50 vics, and a helm that gives 5 mana and 20% more dmg to spells. Unluckily, all the other items from other shops have really sucked
. Dupes of +1 def boots and shields galore!
I saved up 60k gold asap for that banner and then it was real smooth sailing from there. Saving up that 60k took a lot of dodging and luring to get treasures/gold/scrolls from really hard mobs. I only fought weak monsters so I would have next to zero losses. Like the above poster, Fireball's my main spell.
I specced my mage for the long haul. I got 1/3 in both the exp/gold talents and then 3/3 trade talent because I know gold will be the main issue late game. Especially since I've been really unlucky with scrolls (No sacrifice and resurrection scrolls yet). After 3/3 trade, I was rich
, sold off many scrolls and items I hoarded.
Main army : Nothing out of the ordinary. Good ole Royal snakes, Priests, Archers, Inq, and Horsemen/Polar bears. Ran out of horsemen so Polar bears. I just hope there will be some sweet units in Freedom.
