I started playing an Ice Shaper yesterday - the Ice Mage type.

I played on impossible and focused my choices on getting as much mana as possible:

1: Chose Temple to get up to +5 mana limit through time.
2: A bit lucky with items giving mana
3: Chose Wisdom Skill

After some houres of playing, I was lvl. 4 and my battles went pretty easy, when choosing the right ones.

My alliance was Ice Elves and had Snowflake Fairy, Ice Nymph, Scout, Druid from normal Elves and Ice Thorns..

I was able to use spells to my advantage in different battles .. in some I used the Ice Ball spell, to have a great melee tank which keeps the enemy busy.. in other battles, I used the round attack spell or frost dragon spell..

Go after intellect, as it greatly helps buffing the Ice Ball or the damage from the spells.. didnt use Ice Prison ..

My experience is, that the Ice Shaper hero is good for players wanting to adapt to different battles. Its for players who has flair of creating good strategies.. not for those going after leadership and strenght in numbers.

I dont even have a companion yet but stil im beating armies stronger than mine without loss!

If you are having trouble with a specific kind of hero or hero class.. then maybe its just not for your type of playing.. that doesnt mean the game/mod is faulty or it should be changed.. you must aim to become better.. actually make an effort..

Happy gaming peops!
