Is Zero Losses on Normal Mage possible in KB:AP?

[cicobuff]

After having a shower and thinking through some of the tips here.

I know where I went wrong. I had taken on some mind tree skills thinking that they are useful but ended up squandering my runes.

I should have gone heavy Order and Distortion magic instead. With res at lvl 3, I can then take my time finishing up battles without losses.

I had instead taken a hybrid approach, thinking that Chaos 3 would help me but as has been pointed out, it's useless at beginning to even mid game.

Ok restart. As ANOTHER MAGE =).

I do engage in luring away guardians with limited success. It was enough to get me to map 6 I think, although I only managed to clear 3 maps.

I think Order and Distortion are very important no matter what class you are (but especially for the mage). Magic runes are a chronic problem for me as a Warrior - I have Order and Distortion 2 but I could really use level 3 for both. I won't bother with Chaos at all.

I know that leadership isn't everything, but it really, really helps. Especially when you think that the leadership effects how many Paladins and Inquisitors you can have, which in turn increases your Resurrection power.

I guess I'll change my mind and I'll not go so hardcore on my first play through and start with a normal Warrior instead to avoid frustration. Maybe mage after my first game =).

Zhuangzi is right. As a warrior, you can skill Chaos magic at all (or maybe put lvl 1 in it only for sacrifice). The most important skill in the magic tree for both warrior and paladin classes is the summoning skill. It imporves the summoned creatures by the phantom spell by up to 50%. You well know what that means

Well i am at similiar point .. Almost everything very strong i have cleraed easier enemys on rusty achor and hoped to have some kills in verona but they are kinda to strong ... leadership matters ...
Of course with decent spells you can kill army much bigger than yours .. but you must have it .. and i dont .. I have tried sneaking but kinda failes ... my brother somehow managed to steal umkas map in verona and he got plenty of royal throns there but i kinda have serious problem to steal any map now ... and those who i could manage to kill with no loss contained verona map so i ended with having only stupid scrolls ..
