Lucky !

This game does a quantum leap forward when you find the Phantom spell! Now it is possible to recover from much greater losses than before. This is especially critical when fighting heroes. They tend to cast some damaging spells that I cannot recover from with only the resurrection capabilities of my units. I think the Phantom spell is the single most important thing you need in order to have a no-loss game. In this game I found it in Verona (just a quick stop to start the King's Bride quest). Doing all the battles in Bolo (on my route to Debir) was no problem. I needed the Phantom spell to recover from the losses I got when fighting R14-Gromozeka and Rake Yavik (Barbarian Hall of Fame quest).

Anychance that you see what a certain map will give as a wonderer scroll before starting the game, meaning with KBscanner or is it all random again?

It's pre-set at startup, but it cannot be determined with KBScanner. So if you manage to get a call collosus on scarlet or bolo, you may consider yourself lucky Otherwise, a restart may be the prudent course of action if you don't want to kite...

Thank you, so the satest way to do it is to get all map on debir then go to scarlett and check if the bolo map is actually a call of colossus?

Just started a new game as a mage on impossible. Those crappy flying untis are worthless if you want a no-loss. For the 10 first figth what is the best setup? Kinda imagine all human? Still need a 5th one, Royal Snake, just have to get to it.

Leadership is ridiculously low tough!

"satest" should read fastest

sorry about that!

[DGDobrev]

Absolutely. Then your last hope is to clear out scarlet as much as you can without losing something, get the Rusty Anchor map (the guards are a bit stronger than the regular stacks on Scarlet, so you can beat them), and go to Bolo and get the Rusty map there and hope it's Call Collosus. Otherwise, you're in for some real tough time that may not be worth it.

Quick question, if I save a game at the very start, where it's Baal attacking Amely's father castle. Is the game already set? Or do I need to be at least in Teona to have the game set?

I always use Inquisitors in the beginning of the game. Also, I split them. If you have enough leadership to have 3 Inquisitors your army, split them into three stacks, one in each. Fill up the latter two with f.ex. Bowmen and Swordsmen. Focus on high Hit points (Bears are good in the beginning). The reason for splitting the inquisitors into seleral stacks is their Holy Anger talent. Use that to generat Rage, and use the Pet Dragon Crushing Blow ability to kick back and kill the advancing enemies.

Later (still in Debir) when your leadership is at least 380, buy a Royal Thorn. This helps a lot since the Royal Thorn is a tough unit that early in the game and since it can create Thorns that you can send towards the enemy.
