Impossible, Mage - No unit loss.

Round 1: Giants, cyclops, snakes in front. Opened with double geyser (level 3). Killed 3 unit troops, weakened most except for two stacks of 70+ goblins. Used beholder mind control to burn one of the large goblin stack's turn. Threw down Lina's orb to slow down traffic. Enemy cast slow on my snakes. Shaman put down a totem that I killed with the orb.

Round 2: Another geyser. Everything dead but a few orcs, 2 shaman, two stacks of 20-40 or so goblins. Put up a stone wall in front of my army. Enemy cast magic pole axe on my giants for low damage.

Round 3: Enemy cast magic pole axe, kills some inquisitors. They resurrected themselves and I cleaned up the rest.

An incredibly easy fight at that level.

Yeah I posted earlier that using Giants + cyclops would probably be viable on that fight. I never tested it myself tho, but its nice to know that it works for when/if I try do this with a warrior .

you just have to be faster than those biggie orcs
^^
then the fight is EASY
with rage on u can wall off and rape all of them easy ^^

My motivation is slowly geting drained at this point, reached level 26 last night after a 147 round fight vs Xeona.

I ran into a random mob spawn with 54 black dragons, and the effort required to do that one without any losses as a mage....

Im not that far from the end, but having no losses all the way does require you to know and perform all the tricks in the book, and that can get slightly tedious .

Oddly enough I have motivation to start on Impossible Warrior with no losses, but should be quite harder then mage, so we will see. Perhaps Ill just take a break until AP once Im done with this mage.

[Razorflame]

you are very mistaken though

a warrior is way more easy than a mage

at least i find to do so

since warrior has WAY more troops

especially on impossible that counts(damaging spells ain't that good anymore on impossible)

and knwoning that u can easy buf up your troops or debuf/slow the enemy and let your TROOPS do the killing ^^

I believe that's why Chase is trying to beat the game with no losses as a mage, Razor. He did it as a paladin already. There is no dispute that the warrior is the easiest to play - that's just how this game goes. The same situation is present in Armored princess. Having tons of rage and being able to use the dragon (spirits in KBTL, it's pretty much the same) every turn for massive damage pretty much outweighs the usefulness of 3 geysers because mana is slow to replenish, while the rage is replenished in just few rounds of vicious blows and crits and you're set to go ahead and use your most powerful abilities of your spirits/dragon

How is dragon now? at demo it was completly overpowered

[Chase]

Hah, is mage the hard one?

I mean sure I can no longer geysir the living heck out of things, but I asumed warrior would be harder midgame as you dont really have that much damage help from spells.

Did you try both classes on impossible?
