lvl 20 mage on normal stumped

arcainic · #1 11-26-2009, 07:43 AM

so I've done all i can on verona, but the next island with the boss frog are all lethal, and the remaining very strong and lethals on verona stomp to death half my army before dying, what can i do?

I notice i can field a max of 19 griffons, i have around 5k leadership, while enemy stacks are like 60+....

I was using black dragon, demonologist, grand wizard, royal thorn, royal griffon, archers, switching between them, but i lose a lot of unit each battle, what gives? (so basically i've been doing fine up until now with no loss)

So basically a stack of 400+ imps fireballed me and all my softies (wizards and royal thorns) went pooft...

I'm at the point where my oiled fireballs does less damage than my 2x black dragon breath attack. I don't think i can proceed any longer, i can kill stronger stacks, but the very strong and lethal decimate me.

On a side note, what happens when i get the necromacer skull down to 0% enchant? it says i can use it to spawn a necromancer, what does that do?

Do warriors have the easiest time with this game?

5k leadership sounds very low for a lvl 20 mage.. are you sure you haven't picked up all the flags and got the leadership bonuses from quests etc?

Yes warriors do seem to have it easier. Have you thought about casting Magic Shackles on the imps b4 they can get their fireballs away? You could also Phantom on your griffins and Target then fly them close enough that the Imps can attack them?
Distortion spells are just as important as Chaos spells if you're a mage.

you havent played the Legend? :p When skull goes down to 0% you cna change it to the most powerful artifact in game 5 int 5 atacks.
Wariiors is definetly easuer but your 5k LD with lvl 20 doesnt sound much imprresive i was like 7k i think

Is the skull needed to be equip in order to fulfill the condition or can I just bag it and go on adventuring ?

It must be equipped. The necromancer's soul takes forever to dissipate - the counter drops randomly by 1%, 2% or 3% after each battle, so you can expect it to take about 50 battles, unless you're really lucky and manage to do it in 34.

I have only 3900 leadership, and i am at 22 or something like that.
Though, i have not upgraded the leadership skill that gives around 1000 all in all?

My best suggestion to you is steal, steal steal steal.
See if you can find some gold on the island, and run through it and pick it up, then go back and upgrade.
it is the best way to get through hard places.
with a full army at 5000 leadership with a mage, you should be able to take on that island =)

lol you're not suppose to lose any army at all in battles, i ended up with like 300k+ gold on my mage at lvl 20, have nothing to spend it on T.T

whenever you die you get 500 gold from the king

Really? i didnt know that... lol. Come on, the 1st rule of this game is not having casualities, we all know that. And 300k is not too much, u will need a lot lot more on higher levels.
