i mostly get them at the tavern when u ccomplete the dragon fang quest:P

Ok, Im almost done with Freedom Islands now. And Im not going to lie to you, it has been painfull at times. Yesterday I beat Krakken in turn 47. Basically I wouldent have come close to killing it if I hadent used my Royal Thorns. In the end I had Thorns on all but a couple of squares. Decent stacks of 3-400 aswell. Prior to this I upgraded my 2 original Royal Thorns to 15 as I was all but ready to give up. Ive never played with Royal Thorns so I wasent really sure how good they were. But hello meat(plant)wall!

Ive gotten: Sacrifice, Gift, Ice snake, Hypnosis (After failing 15 times on a gremlin battle!) and no Resurrection yet :(. I got 113 mana now and I got 1 point in higher magic.

During most of FI I went with Inqs, Alchemists, Cannoners (found a few for sale and sacrificed until I had enough), Evil Beholders (Was lucky and found these for sale here aswell) and Arch Mages actually. Thats right, 5 ranged! I never thought it would be effective, but with alot of slow+ice snake spaming it actually worked. Basically I need to kill them before they get to me thus rendering Royal Snakes and Horsemen somewhat useless except for certain fights. (I also Sacrificed me a nice stack of Horsemen!).

I tried taking alot of screenshots as you lot would really enjoy a few of them, but I couldent find them on my harddrive afterwards :(. So I think they werent actually recorded. I had a screenshot with Krakken dead and several thousand devilfish left with several thousand plants as a plant wall :). I also took some screenshots of my spells and general army makeup etc as I had planned to post them in this thread.

Oh I also got 1 Demon from the Dragon Fang quest, but it will probably take me a while to reach a point where I can use them so I wount get me a stack just yet!

Please keep posting as its nice motivation :).

Oh right, the setup I run right now is: Evil Beholders, Inqs, Cannoners, Royal Plants and Arch mages. (With Royal Snake as a sub for no retal)

I still hold on to the arch mages due to high amount of hitpoints, long range, the shield and the teleport. Basically with rank 2 slow and the Arch mage teleport you "freeze" one mob for an entire turn. And that helps alot.

actualy archmage is low hp unit for its level ^^ devs raised it by much in AP

Agreed, but for now they can take the retaliation from enemy ranged units :). Which is what I need when Im going for no losses. So they are perfect for this kind of game.

Nice that they got an upgrade on hitpoints, they will be really slow to take down then :).

Cant wait for AP!

well most units will have more hp but some weaker units like archmage will have much higher boost then others (in %)

oh chase haven't u got the shamans yet?

they work geat with royal thorns

u summon thorns and use the life totem near them:)
^^
then the fun can begin on your meat wall :D

No sadly. Will give the embassy a shot tonight however, but I havent bothered so far as I know it will be a mess :D. But perhaps not as mage, we will see. Ill let you know :).

Also, anyone got any help for the screenshot thing? I took alot using PrintScreen, but they were no where to be found :/.

i think you have to press printscreenshot and then go to pain and ctrl+v
to paste it
^^
can be wrong though ^^

no its working with printscreen, if not in game folder try in my documents somewhere
