From what I have read on here I get the feeling that chaos magic is just crap, perhaps level 2 at best for sac only? even with a mage i would go disto and order 3.
Thats a great point about the armor and quite logical at that.
I'll try to come up with something else. for now im gonna waste my life trying for a level 31 game. has it been done, on whatever difficulty?

never say chaos sucks please

i love chaos magic and i finished a mage game with mostly using chaos spells

the thing u want is ALOT of intelligence

more intelligence means more damage


it's cool to see 2 fire storms killing 80% of the enemy stack on impossible ^^

Not only for damage spells, but also Fear rules - necessary for keeping that last level 1 unit in fear while you heal/resurrect your army.

Also don't forget about Kamikaze. Nothing better then to summon a Phantom, send it to the midst of the enemy and cast Kamikaze on it. That spell does more damage then even Fireball maxed.

Evil book can be a lifesaver early on in battles, especially in supression battles as the Gremlin towers will inflict almost zero damage to it. The description of the book is buggy, though - you don't need to have it eat one of your units, simply attack an enemy with it and it can cast again next round.

Plague is nice too if you are using an undead army. And curse on level III.

Oh and the best for the last: Sheep. You can kill even tough units in those 2 rounds while they are sheeped...

I stand corrected. Chaos doesn't have to be all-damage. I think it's just part
of my fantasy-races-view, much for my Heroes-series background. Like do you guys never feel that with an undead army the only spells you like to use is poisonous skull, book of evil, plague and necro call? With demons, the portal, doom, weakness and heavy fire. With a paladin i find it impossible to have other units then humans (priest,archi, inquis, god bless the church) and go Order level 3 ! With a warrior I would never resurrect and go kill or be killed with haste, teleport etc I could go on forever but this is not really
a question or so. Just late night bs. Obviously I find myself with skellie archers, inqusitors and demonesses all mixed casting whatever when I try to beat it badly.

Do we consider roasted rat grinding immoral/cheating?
I got like 11 and got sick of it. But you're giving up some
leadership with time so I guess it's not all like writing
a code and getting xxx gold

That is something that can be freely utilized in the game, and as such, it cannot be considered as cheating In my eyes, the only thing that can be considered cheating is using codes. Anything else, which the game allows you to do, is just fine. No player is at fault that there are bugs that can be exploited.

Am I missing something here, is armored princess out already?
Maybe in the states?
