Nothing about that fight as a roflstomp. Nothing.

Hero Level 5, Level 1 Runic Rage (for extra rage damage) (might tree, the right column). 798 leadership.

Berserkers, Axe Throwers, Soothsayers, Bears, Ancient Bears.

I'd wait for them to come to me, and keep summoning monsters every round. I'd use the summons to "burn" a counter attack and then wail on the enemy.

Ahri would burn spells on the summons like blind, sheep, fear, and poison skull.

I'd time the berserkers to enrage, so they would one-shot the 20 skeletons from the necromancer summons.

I honestly don't think I could have won without the summon scrolls.

let us know if u manage to get by the next couple hero encounters with no losses with no scrolls left..

I have done first island with 1 loss on impossible. I have done it with mage and 4 units. Maxed rune magic on lvl 3. If you can find some items which give you intelect then its definitly possible to have 0 losses. I had only +1 intelect from one item.

I use Slingers. They do atleast something and what unit can survive single spell anyway... Destroy enemy archers in first turn and Sligers are safe. Also bosses cast fear on them sometimes instead of damaging spells which is very helpfull.

If you take +700 leadership as paladin it should be peace of cake even with 0 losses.

u can try

i have a save with paladin only skill i invested is edda(the only thing i used) so u have spare runes



on note to that no summons scrolls were found alas

but i did rape everything on the island except for 300 skel archers and 200 skel or somthing

and ahriman ofcourse



goodluck with that

IMHO the skald is the only one with a REAL easy run on the first island way to overpowered -.-

those songs literrally rape undead lol
and giving the skald already the healing spell
and most leadership
is kinda unfair to me

the warrior and the mage both got to do some level uping before they can do some decent damage while the paladin can freerol right from the start

and on to that healing ftw lol

they really made the classes a bit imbalanced ( at least in the beginning)

a paladin can easily steamrol the first island while the other 2 gotta WORK hard on that one lol

I defeated Ahriman no loss on Impossible with Mage.

I was level 4 and had 16 Vikings, 29 Slingers, 10 Berserkers, 5 Axe Throwers, and 2 Soothsayers. I only had Magic Missile as my spell, since I kind of messed up and didn't have enough magic runes to get rune magic. I had Order Magic, but I haven't found any Order spells except Dispel.

It was a big time optimization problem. I basically tried the battle about 20 times slightly tweaking my strategy such that Ahriman never cast a damage spell on me. I wish I would have saved a screenie, but didn't realize it was so hard. I don't have any Animal Call scrolls, or don't even have Healing for that matter, but was fortunate to find the solution.

But now I've got Uladar Maratarius - he's level 10 and I'm only level 5! Do I have to defeat him before I can leave the island? It seems like I'm out of stuff to fight - I think there are only 4 stacks left: the Ghost stack guarding the treasure (I might be able to beat these guys no loss, we'll see...), the big Skelly stack (I'm not going to bother with these guys until later) and then the other stack guarding Maratarius. I still can't get through the magic portal blocking the shipyard, so I guess I'm stuck with what I have...

I did get Rune Magic, but only level 1 (at least I got some more damage spells than Magic Missle now) - anyone have any ideas?
