To be honest, in all games with a proper build and tactics most people should have an abundance of gold irrespective of the difficulty level. No doubt you will have more gold on normal than on hard or impossible but nonetheless you should have some gold to purchase an odd crystal or rune near the end game to round off your character.

True, Sandsai, but I had over 2 million at level 23 with my Impossible Mage, and only 500,000 at the same stage with the Impossible Warrior. This is partly because I'm better at the Mage, but IMO it is easier too.

To answer my own question of many weeks ago:

HELL YES I rate the Paladin. That Resurrect scroll is supremely important, as is the skill that gives you to the Might and Magic runes. One question: does the Paladin start with Lake Fairies/Sprites after the tutorial? Because if he does, he can stash them until he gets Sacrifice/Anga's Ruby. Then, let the destruction begin. :cool:

Well, luck has a lot to do with it too. Early on my mage was struggling a bit as I couldn't find any good spells or artifacts to pump up my intellect. My warrior didn't have these issues and found just the rights units and artifacts at the right time, allowing me to have plenty of gold around. The war is a bit more luck based than the mage I suppose, then again maybe its just me.

Isn't this boring to play always with same strat?

Well, to me at least it would get dull. I like to change the composition of my army, including all sorts of creatures, even the suckier ones. Though the royal snakes seems to be a constant, I must confess!

Well, I don't play with the same strategy because each game throws up different possibilities. Yes, I do consider Lake Fairies/Sprites with Anga's Ruby to be about the most overpowered combo in the game, but my current game doesn't have any Hordes of either, so I have run out (yes, I could have used Sacrifice).

This time I got the Crown of Blackthorn for the first time, so I thought I'd try Dryads/Royal Thorns to test this out. You HAVE to play differently depending on the hand you are dealt, which is why I love this game so much.

I just wanted to try Lake Fairies/Sprites early in the game, like in Freedom Isles. I suspect they will dominate there. ;)

Very well said.

Why dont you get the full game :P loads better than the demo.
