Mana Spring Fail

[Zechnophobe]

So, I just finished an almost no loss game (wasn't explicitly going for it, but was also very careful) with a mage on Impossible. Had about 180 losses entire game.

The funny part is that in the entire game world, there was not a single copy of the mana spring spell. I also dug up many hundreds of chests looking for it. Mage.. Impossible.. No mana spring. No rage eater either... though I did manage to complete the Madman's set!

My Philosophy at the end was to just pile on huge amounts of mana. Fighting Ktahu with a single stack of bone dragons for no losses requires a lot of mana. Good thing that I had items that gave me somewhere above 230 mana. Yowza!

This is almost as bad as the mage game where I tried to go with only summoning units.. and then couldn't find Dryads OR scrolls of the wind anywhere (cry).
