What units to use as games goes on

[rollems]

How many Green dragon can i get from call colossus. it says depends on leadership so meaning leadership i have left apart from the army i already have?

can call colossus also give Red / black dragon ???

plus i have so many eggs whats the best use i can get from them.

thanks guys for helping so much... and sorry for bothering so much

1) Up to your max leadership, and only if you have a free spot in your army. For example: you have 5000 leadership. 1 green dragon needs 1900 leadership, so you can have 2.

2) Yes. Any lvl 5 unit.

3) Use them to modify what Call Collosus will give you. Save the game and use it. If the troop doesn't meet your criteria, reload, use 1 egg or something and use the scroll again. The output will be different. You can use this trick as many times you wish.

Below is the post on how to get different units from the Call Colossus scroll using eggs:

As for the number of units you get, as the definition states, it depends on your leadership. For example, red dragons require a leadership of 2,000 each. So if you have a leadership score of 6,359 then you could generate 3 red dragons from your Call Colossus scroll. If you happen to have 2,001 leadership then you could only get 1 red dragon from the said scroll. If you have less than 2,000 leadership then you have no chance at all of getting a red dragon from the CC scroll.

Well thanks to all the advise above i have been able to understand game little better. so now i am trying No loss. (did not restart the game but trying from where i was). i assumed it was possible as i am playing Paladin character on normal.
Right now i am stuck at Verona... kitting for map is just not happening for me even with that trick of save pause etc...
i will try to summarize my game. if you guys can point out what to do next to avoid losses or use units better. (i have killed all units/heroes in Debir/Scarlet/Bolo including Hero gaurding treasure in cave.) things left on Rusty are ZagZag and one Archmage gaurding Map. Verona have stolen Debir's wife. killed some enemy saying strong/very strong. Mostly with No losses after 1 Black dragon from Bolo (call of coll..).

My Stats.
Amelie Lvl 16, Leadership 4975
Attack 11 , Def 26 , Intelect 7
Gold: 150K
Rage 26 , Mana 30
Scrolls: Lvl2 Trap/Stone/OilMist/Pain Mirror/Slow
Lvl1 Healing/Helpnessness/Phantom/Avenging Angel/Bless

Units.
1 Black Dragon
1 Green Dragon
22 Paladins
24 Archmages
50 Inquisitors
3 Cyclopes
i swap Cyclopes with Green Dragon. based on situation.

Other Units in castle are Gaurd Droids/Repair Droids/royal snakes/polar bear.
and lots spider/snake/thorns eggs


so basically what way to proceed? what tech to focus and how to use the units i have even better.? what area i am lacking? how to kill those lethal units gaurding maps.

Edit: i am also running short on Ruins (Mind specially). though i have neatness Lvl1

Neatness level 1 will not help you get runes. You need lvl 3 to effectively break the lvl 4-5 items.

Do you get runes by breaking level 4? I think I recall getting only crystals. Or if you do get runes, perhaps it's rare.

[rollems]

well i dont think i can get Lvl3 neatness now. can you also provide tips on Units and what next to focus. like i was thinking updgrading Heal to Lvl2. or go another path?
am i ok with these units for a while?

@metathron

You get runes by breaking lvl 4 and 5 items only. That requires lvl 2 neatness to break lvl 4 items and lvl 3 for lvl 5 items. However, although it doesn't seem entirely plausible, I found that having lvl 3 increases the number of runes you get from lvl 4-5 items (rather than getting 2, I got 3 of a kind from certain items).

You should also be aware that items that are subject to upgrading usually provide only crystals even if they end up on lvl 4 or 5. Same goes for the new compound items we get from the gift bag.

@rollems

Well, I don't think you're lacking anything right now. You have inquisitors to ress your lvl 5 units (save for the cyclops), paladins to ress your inquisitors and tank. Getting a target spell will help greatly, as it will allow you to use your tanking stack (the paladins) more often as a pure tank (since you have both them and the inquisitors for resurrection).

If you feel like you can improve something or that any of your dragons is a serious subject to multiple attacks and is close to dying or dies somewhat often, swap it with royal snakes and you will be just fine.

As for the healing, I'd upgrade distortion before order magic. Soon, as the game progresses, you will find better lvl 1-4 units, and you may want to drop the lvl 5 units.

I tried the Neatness 3, and I never made the runes back. And I did buy most of the magic items I saw. I think what I'm doing going forward (if I keep playing) is to stick to Neatness 1 (for the prerequisite), don't bother with Alchemy, and just destroy the crap items for a few extra crystals.

[DGDobrev]

Weird. I always found more than 20 runes of each type thanks to neatness by buying every item in the game (and concentrating on the 4-5 lvl ones). This is why I am so biased towards it. It always worked perfectly for me.
