Warrior on impossible is easiest at least timewise with different playing style

[bilsaboob]

Well, I just wanted to say that there actually is some meat to tjoepee's resoning that the difference in leadership between mage and warrior is not as simple as comparing X vs Y number of troops.

Concider this:

Mage:
100 troops with attack power 10

Warrior:
100 troops with attack power 100

Concider giving additional 50 troops to the Mage, since the attack power of the troops is low anyway, the additional troops is not that valuable.

Now concider giving additional 50 troops to the Warrior, since the attack power of the troops is so high, this will have a great impact.

So to sum this, not only does the difference in leadership mean more troops for the warrior, but from the warriors perspective the value of the additional troops will be higher than to the mage.

You could say it like this:

Mage:
-----------------------------------
100 troops * 10 attack = 1000 value
150 troops * 10 attack = 1500 value

Troop increase: 50%
Value increase: 50%

Warrior:
-----------------------------------
100 troops * 100 attack = 10000 value
150 troops * 100 attack = 15000 value

Troop increase: 50%
Value increase: 50%

Warrior relative to mage:
-----------------------------------

5000 warrior value increase - 500 mage value increase = 4500 value increase warrior relative to mage

Value increase warrior relative to mage: 900%


Lol, just to explain that the increased troops for warrior is an overall higher value than the same increase for the mage.

Hum I am a new member here and I try to read all posts here about Kings Bounty and must say this is the first post I not understant. But anyway I have an Idea about that bubling about mage and warior. Because that is an easy when I play my warior on hard I ussualy equiped items with def,atk or some with multi bonuses and while I will be play mage in my second play I think I will equip some items with int,mana,def or also some multi bonuses because I have less trops so I need some dmg spell to get bonus dmg from spell + from troops. So in my opion there will be always big diferent for me because when I play mage i want to be good at spell and when warior at meele dmg and so on. But at the end I want to say hello to all here I am from czech republic and this game is realy great it is realy better than Homan for me now I love it now I starting play Armored Princess and I love it even more the princess is so nice and always bonus in leadership in every level this should be even greater diferent here maybe. After I finish it I start play Legend again on Impossible with all three class so I hope i got also some nice score to post here. I find here so many information and strategic for all class i must try them all. So thanks.

Hello Dredman, welcome to the forum. I wonder why you wake up this old thread. About bilsaboob post, I have the same feeling the you, I don't understand a word but I feel I see roughly what he means.

About this topic, and last posts it's an error to compare warrior and mage only through leadership and skills available. That's a wrong way to look at the problem because there are the runes requirements. For example a mage won't be able to get all warrior skills at max level when it's very easy for a warrior.

All warrior skills require 42 mind runes when all mage skills require 65 mind runes. That's more complicate than this simple comparison but in practice, it's much more easy to fill the warriors skills and pick the very useful paladin and mage skills than to try with a mage to fill mage skills and pick very useful paladin and warrior skills.

Anyway, there are ton of details and differences but the real point is that the game balance is better for the warrior than for the mage in impossible mode. But that's just a global balance it's quite clear that for some battles and combinations a mage will perform better than a warrior.
