Not as neat as they used to be, though. The lack of Revive was a downer.

Also, provided you have cash, it's possible to recruit a variety of things in the three areas you can wander. I've found dragons, ogres, cyclops and giants, for example.

After the Giant Spider, you fight another boss, and after than boss, all unit you bring along, all die, include those in reserve!
So better put them at Castle Garison, bring all the low cost with you, they all die in the end
After that, you move to human world, and wow so many powerful units, hard to choose
