Fighting dragons tips

[bukimi]

I want to get access to hiring dragons on Montero.

To do it, I have to clean a cave with lots of dragons.
There are 5 stacks of 10-20 dragons of different kinds (black, red and emerald green)
Even stoneskinned red dragons (80% fire res) lose almost half of hp from one black dragons' hit

I do not know what units I can bring to defeat them.
I do not have dragon slayer spell and did not find any to buy. (yet)
My current leadership is 7500. Impossible mage + losses acceptable.

Maybe I am trying much too early??

Equip yourself with items that raise your fire resistance. Red Dragons and Archdemons (with divine armor) will have 95% fire resistance in no time. Complete your army with 2 stacks of Repair droids to sacrifice (and repair) in case you lose an Archdemon (can't be healed). Your fifth stack can be Green Dragons to leech some mana.

I thought that divine armor does not add its resistance to basic resistance of a unit.
That is, if a unit has greater resistance than given by spell (like 80% fire res of red dragons) it will gain nothing. (only other resistances)

I will try this strategy later on.
Now I am clearing other islands to get 8000 leadership and change my current 2 red dragons into 4 red dragons
Lucky I already got sacrifice spell.

I am also thinking about taking some useless units, let them get killed and kill half of enemy stacks with evlin spell...

Thanks for the advice!

Divine Armor, or God Armor, as the game makers keep calling it in skill tree from the KBTL till now, raises resistance by % that it says it does. I managed to make 95% physical resistant Demons (unit type) with stoneskin + div. armor + boots of something +15% + some cape that gave +15 or +10, i forgot.

Thanks for tips!
I will try the trick with divine armor then.
One more question: what is the limit for number of spells written in the spell book? Because currently I am about to fill 3rd page of spell book and I am afraid that I will have no place for more needed spells in the future
(I have lots of crystals)

[Petwin]

As far as I know there's no limit. But you could be wrong thinking you have enough crystals. Some spells are very expensive to raise to level 3 (Sacrifice 10+20+30= a total of 60 crystals, Turn Back Time 60 crystals,Geyser 60 crystals, Armageddon and Dead Star will take 75 crystals).

See for yourself at http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=12249. Ivra made a nice spelllist (the file is named Spells v2.pdf).

Thanks for the link! Lots of useful information in one place

As for crystals I have about 80 crystals, most of needed spells already max upgraded and I have visited only half of islands.
(there will be a lot of artifacts to destroy and crystals to find or get for quests)
I invested in alchemy 3 level long time ago to not worry about crystals

I am only waiting to get armageddon, divine armor and dragon slayer.
I have no time-back in my gameplay.

As for fighting dragons I thought that I will wait until I switch to Black Knights+Armageddon strategy. That should do

I will not invest in geyser or death star as I will spend my mana on Armageddon and Evlin casting.

PS. I am looking for info about having BK with unlimited retaliation. It is related with Moro Dark companion?
If I get him, what should I do to make him give such bonus for BK?
