I've watched vid of someone beating this guys simply by ice spikes and ranged units. The problem is, his archers were doing 18k dmg on crits, mine ranged units do max. 6k on crit.

I guess Soothsayer is very challenging on impossible. I was using palas only for ress purposes with gift in fights where some loses would be inevitable (for example fat gremlin towers while upgrading snake ring), rarely used them for tanking or dmg. But in this fight, they just survived long enough for my spells and phoenix to do some dmg.

Yeah, I guess there are ppl who manage to do spider/archmage tower/any other bosses without loses on impossible, I'm just fine with progressing thru those ultrafights

It was fun but the fourth undead army on the beach forced me to stop playing Soothsayer and start a new impossible game as Viking. I simply cannot beat an army of 20k skeleton archers, 800 ghosts, 600 ancient vampires and 26 bone dragons.
I've run out of units that can summon, I have no access to demonologists, royal griffs, rune mages or royal thorns and one stack of 10k skeleton archers kills 1/3 of my paladins just with that black arrow (and they keep one hitting phoenix at melee). I am able to kill about 4-5k archers before my whole army falls to vampires, dragons and ghosts.

I will keep my save in case someone here comes with any idea how to beat this fight (no matter what the loses are), because I don't see any option now.

EDIT: Oh, how sweet the evil book bug was QQ

Post ur save man, im really up for some challenge in this game.

[Lancian]

Save attached, I'm really curious if it's just my lack of skills, or the luck factor that I don't have an access to those crucial units.

Looking forward to see ur results

Okay i can tell what is your problem, you dont have disortion lvl 3, WHY!??????? It's the best school of magic, and make this fight major pushover, whitout it u have to prolong fight to resurect every1 that got killed by ancient vampires coz lvl 2 target doesnt affect them. Other than that, just do as i said earlier target and stoneskin on paladins then u dont have high initiative unit so u cant slow ghosts, before they move so put divine armor and magic spring on next round and focus vampires right after u killed dragons coz they will kill your army. You have plenty of fights left, so you can do it to get disortion lvl 3, or prolong fight to res everyone. This fight is really easy one tbh...

The replay to this is quite obvious. In the previous installments the new maps corresponds to the difficulty. Now you get the 4 initial islands almost at the same time AND you get your pegas too. So you can hop and gather resourse and weak enemies. AND later you get almoost at the same time 3 continents and 3 islands with practically no need to fight. AND it seems the rage is gathered too quickly as at the same time the rage skill are somewhat overpowered. You need just 1 fight to get the 4th valkyrie and her golem rage skill is a game changer.

The problem is enemy archers just DISPEL paladins in the next round from all the buffs I put on them. What spell in distortion magic you talk about ?
