Advice for impossible mage?

[Tembo]

but the Verona mapguard doesnt show any exclamation marks whatsoever no matter how close to him i get..

That the one on Bola? Yes, it will not move. The verona map on Scarlet is kitable however.

Not sure about Rusty, but I don't honestly remember where it spawns there.

He is talking about the map in verona right by the ghost ship and yes, that map is very kitable. I would not tell you to look for that one if i wasn't 100% sure it can be done. i personally have done it several times within the last couple days (im trying for seven days no loss). Approach the monster from the left. Get close to him then save the game. When you are close, click on the horses head so that you only move a little bit. Keep doing this and save each time so you can find out how close you need to get to the monster before they chase you. The red exclamation point will pop up, you just have to approach different monsters at different angles for it to happen. Remember, kiting is diffferent for each monster, in each area; you have to learn how to deal with each.

Oh, the map to Elon. Sorry, I didn't read the thread too thoroughly. Hmm, don't think I've tried to kite that one before (Only map I've really tried to kite is the one to verona from scarlet).

Clinek, I dont quite understand what you mean by approach him from the left, it´s not possible to get left of him? i can´t get my whole horse there without starting the fight.. I uploaded a screenie here, how would you kite this guy? If i click one more time on the horses head the battle will start, without him aggroing..

[clinek]

no no no not that guy, im talking about the one right by the ghost ship. The one you are trying to do is not going to work out for you and it has never worked out for me. If you distance travel to verona, and travel to your left just a little bit, you should see a ghost ship (shipwreck). back towards the woods is where you will find the person you are looking for. If that guy is not guarding a map, let me know and ill find you a way to advance.

Clinek, that ghost ship doesn't always spawn there, sometimes it is over on the far side of the island near the Champion.

And yes, the fight in the image is probably not kiteable. Though sometimes it will be a melee only enemy force, and therefore totally beatable.

this guy is kiteable don't so before so

u either need to get better kiting skills or your movement is very bad

[clinek]

that all depends razorflame, sometimes the monsters simply do not move. I have had several like that. You can play a game where one spot is really easy to kite then play the game again and the same person does not move at all even when your horse is touching him. It does happen. Like he said, he was easially able to kite the monster guarding the elon map by the entrance of verona so he obviously knows how to kite its just not always cut and dry.

Map: Avoid casualities in battles, use micro to steal maps without a fight. Go to another islands/continents asap and take leasership and gold, complete easy quests.

Creatures: Always use max lev possible creatures: inquisitors, droids, archmages and use a fear spell. Hire 5 lev creatures asap. U can use a travel spell that create colossus in ur army. Fight only at night to use troll's regeneration each turn. Leave empty army slots if u don't have lev 5 creature to avoid losses in lower lev creatures.

My first 5 lev army: trolls, gigants, cyclops, emerald dragons, ogres.
Army now: black dragons (best), emerald dragons (mana), red dragons, bone dragons, archdemons (fast), trolls (regeneration), cyclops (snipers).

Magic: Get:
Chaos lev 2 (fear, fire arrow, fireball)
Higher lev 1
Distortion lev 2 (slow, stone skin, geyser - to destroy towers)
Higher lev 2
Chaos lev 3
Distortion lev 3
Higher lev 3
Order lev 2,3 (heal, defensive spells)

Use Fear spell. With all lev 5 creatures in ur army and troll's regeneration is ur best spell. Use slow/blind when u can't use fear.

NPC: Take mage from Verona +4 to int.
