lvl 20 mage on normal stumped

[Infiltrator]

5k leadership sounds very low for a lvl 20 mage.. are you sure you haven't picked up all the flags and got the leadership bonuses from quests etc?

[travelingoz]

Yes warriors do seem to have it easier. Have you thought about casting Magic Shackles on the imps b4 they can get their fireballs away? You could also Phantom on your griffins and Target then fly them close enough that the Imps can attack them?
Distortion spells are just as important as Chaos spells if you're a mage.

you havent played the Legend? :p When skull goes down to 0% you cna change it to the most powerful artifact in game 5 int 5 atacks.
Wariiors is definetly easuer but your 5k LD with lvl 20 doesnt sound much imprresive i was like 7k i think

[Misery]

Is the skull needed to be equip in order to fulfill the condition or can I just bag it and go on adventuring ?

It must be equipped. The necromancer's soul takes forever to dissipate - the counter drops randomly by 1%, 2% or 3% after each battle, so you can expect it to take about 50 battles, unless you're really lucky and manage to do it in 34.

I raided all the flags, got the 3rd gold medal for flawless victory thingy, i'm not sure what you mean about leadership from quest, all they give me is exp and gold.

I'm stuck!

although my problem is i probably leveled mana regen and transmutation too much...

Is the most damage from having telescope + +damage weap and bowman? They deal the most damage per leadership

[DGDobrev]

Generally yes - telescope, arbator (+20% damage all archer-type units) and skeleton bowmen with dragon arrows may do quite some damage to a single stack. However, bowmen in the game are generally weak in the HP department and tend to die more often.

I have only 3900 leadership, and i am at 22 or something like that.
Though, i have not upgraded the leadership skill that gives around 1000 all in all?

My best suggestion to you is steal, steal steal steal.
See if you can find some gold on the island, and run through it and pick it up, then go back and upgrade.
it is the best way to get through hard places.
with a full army at 5000 leadership with a mage, you should be able to take on that island =)
