Battle against Karador on impossible

[Razorflame]

wouldn't it be easier to use

royal thorns/thorn warriors/thorn hunters/dryads/necromancers?

first turn kill something

raise dead with necro and keep spawning those warriors/hunters ^^

use sacrifice on the summoned units to reraise the rest of your units ^^

Umm, Dryads would be useless for this battle, they cannot put undead to sleep (and that's their greatest asset).

Thorns are frankly, very weak units. I doubt they would stand against Black Knights for long. You need tough melee units for that. Plus plants cannot be resurrected in any way, that's why I never use them - hard to prevent losses.

One more thing to keep in mind - apart from the necros (who'll be busy casting spells anyway) and the negligible bone dragons, all of Karador's units do physical damage only. So it might be a good idea to stack up on physical resistance-items, or use Stone skin or God Armor.

true indeed

but wouldn't it be better to use demons instead of griffins?(assuming u want to have to always retaliation ability for a tank)

an black dragons are also hard to keep alive(unless u got time back ready they die rather easy) and can't use spells on them


i would do it with emerald ones

their mana drain ability can be very helpful ^^

Yeah, Demons are good too of course. I just had the Griffiin Banner so I could recruit more of them, plus I didn't like using Demons with my Paladin...

I prefer Blacks because of the magic immunity - magic-damage creatures do almost nil damage to them, their very high Physical resistance (can be increased with items), their ability to decrease enemy intiative, and the fire damage/wake of fire is very usefull in this battle, as all the below-3 level undead units have -10% res to Fire.

For a Mage, I can imagine Greens are the better choice.

true indeed

well for a warrior that fight is easy with max rage before u enter that fight and boom boom karador

Finally i made it to Karadot at impossible Difficulty.

I am lvl 18 Mage, about 10-11k Leadeship, and have access to almost all kind of units due sacrifise and some low level pack with ranged units i left behind. I dont have time back (only lvl 1). I can case 2 spell in the first 2 round and have about 100 mana for it with some good desctruction and utility spells. (order and chaos lvl 2, distortion lvl 3)
From the tips hire, i do not have necro call and i do not have royal thorns.


So far it seems i am too weak for this battle. I have avoided almost all elf and undead pack as they are from strong to impossible.

I know i am low level i have also skipped dwarwen and demon pack behind and even some pirate ones. Do i really need to kill all these? (I dont like killing elves )

On what level did you finished with this battle?
Do you think i will NEED time back lvl 5 for this?
I am thinking using Knights with Circle attack talent+Teleport, but i have only access to a few knight so i need to sactifise a good stack for it. (And spend points to circle attack) Have anyone tried it?
Should i be able to get Dryads and Royal thorns withough doing any quest in the elven lands? I did not find any.

Thanks for all your help.
