I would love to be wrong about vampire start but i tried many start/spell combinations and there is couple things that are unavoidable. For example there is not a single unit that can survive ranged attack from elfs in elf guardian of light stack. So only luck with diversion could possibly prevent that to happen in first round. Fights against spiders/snakes in catacombs are very hard as well if stack has thorn hunters they always attack skele archers so you have to bench them and they are only source of reliable damage.
Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but even with magicbook cheat only way to some battles was phoenix - not even level 1 could cut it, had to be level 2.
Currently I'm on portland already and having lots of fun, with huge spell selection from the beginning it's really refreshing. Only restriction i put on myself is that spells from scrolls are not allowed. |
I've purchased the game and tried a few different starts so far on vanilla vampire impossible. It is possible to get your Chaos Magic up to lvl 2 at lvl 4 if you're lucky with might runes at level up, but you simply won't have enough time, with one cast per round, to be able to CC/kill all the Black Gate Guardian's troops before they get close enough to start inflicting losses on your army. And this is only possible if you open some snake eggs as your necro army cannot deal any significant damage to the enemy. I defeated all of the armies in the catacombs, except the one that has tons of fire spiders by using a stack of snakes, but the red snakes simply have too low HP and once 1 dies......... I seem to remember that there was a way to change the result of the opened "container", if you could manipulate/get green or even blue (royal) snakes or spiders from those eggs, I do believe it's doable with the right spells on vanilla. For example, if you got Chaos Arrow and Snow Storm from the tree stump and Clarissa, and some lvl 2 or 3 snakes or spiders from containers.............
From many restarts, Clarissa will give you a LVL 2 scroll, like Magic Shackles from time to time, so I guess getting Phantom from her is "theoretically" possible......
