Maidens + Sacrifice = More maidens

[namad]

shame I lost all my maidens when I went to island 5, will I ever get them back? or are those units gone for good? because back on islands1-4 I bought out all the ones for sale, didn't find sacrifice till island 5, and now I worry the entire rest of the game won't sell another maiden anyone?


then again paladins + rune mages is already so powerful the game is just pointless to continue playing, wish rune mages were still CW rune mages... someone should come up with a mod to just remove all the rune mage sheningans and make them CW rune mages again or something? or at very least make it so that their phantom ability isn't infinite

They're dead, I'm pretty sure. Warriors of Valhalla resurrects units you lose after that battle.

Agreed, not sure what they were thinking. Are the unit/ability stats in some lua file? One step could be to make the phantom ability copy a random troop on the battlefield (and of course the strength of the phantom stack should also be limited by the rune mages leadership). Still very powerful because of semi-infinite uses (need recharging in between), but doesn't allow some of the most ridiculous abuses. Also, rune mages probably need a general nerf (if they get to keep some phantom ability) and I'd say the rune bonus should be capped at 20 runes, not 40 (or alternatively halved), the laser beam and debuffs on attack makes them brutal even without phantom.

Are there anywhere else to buy them?

I've got 13 of them now, and I can have up to 16. I've unlocked the four "starting" islands and I can't find anywhere else to buy them. Will I at least be able to buy more later?

I can't find the sacrifice spell. Any other way to get more?

They're my most important unit, and the more I level up, the more potential power I lose for not being able to fill that unit slot with units.

I went the first 4 islands with only 7 when I could store up to 16. They are still worth it just for the resurrection. I had mine split into a 3/4. Have them wait at the beginning of the turn and then use them to rush in on anything that has wasted its counterattack.
