Mana Spring Fail

[Marximus]

Thanks for the feedback. Oddly, by sneaking around and pre-stealing leadership and cash piles, I got to Verona without feeling like the game was a lost-cause. It is in Verona (and Montero) that I'm losing everyone.

I think I'll start again... I'm not going to scan 100 games to line up a perfect run. Rather just make sure I get a few good spells and useful troops early on. Phantom would be nice. So would Demonologists.

I think I'm almost level 20... and I have 13 rage total. Need to get that raised somehow as well so I can actually use Ball of Lightning.

Fingers crossed. Thanks.

You should probably prioritize your spending a bit better of runes. Early game, the first point of +8 rage in the might tree is very important, as it will fuel your dragon to do significantly more abilities, and gain experience a lot faster. In fact, as a mage, the only skills I really get from the Might tree are the rage and dragon based ones.

Good point on the +8 rage... will do... thanks. All I can do now is kick the bad guys... and dig for goodies.

I'm not a huge fan of Defense with a fighter but Caution 3 is an excellent place to spend might runes later on as well. For a mage, the hardest part of tough fights w/ no losses and no resurrection is surviving the first round and Caution 3 goes a long way to that end.
