This is the good thing about playing on Hard, by the way. You HAVE to look for the enemies you can defeat, or you'll get owned. So go back and clean out the earlier continents.

i am like lvl 18 at elven lands. i cleaned western/eastern islands and kordor.

i was way to low for demon continent.

did u do demon before elven couse sounds like u have higher lvl then me but we are about same place in the game...

Elvens are easier to me than demons or im just trippin...

edit:

Definetly...even undeads are easier than demons...

i was LVL 20 when I hit Elven lands, the fights were fairly easy and I was still getting LOTS of exp points.. I leveled up like crazy in the elven lands.. i think im a 24 now, and i havent even been in the great forest.. i did clear out valley of the thousand rivers, the magic lands (or whatever the first board is), and the two land of the dead boards..

so there are a LOT of exp points in the elven lands.. i couldnt believe how fast i was leveling up

You only have +4 defense?? That seems really low. Are you equipping items with defensive bonuses??? Choosing +1 Defense on lvl ups?? Finding the fountains/statues/training dummies that give you +1 defense???

Btw the pocket castle that you can buy is totaly crazy and good for xp...

think its random whut items and lvl up options u get. i have picked +1 defence in 21 levels. mostly i choose between rage +5 or mana +10 or something stupid. have got +1 atack 2-3 times to.

my items is + intelect always and i got fire damage +30% neckledge. think my boots are the only ones that give + defence and thats +2.

I would agree that the battle is quite tough. Usually i would only fight battle that would incur only minimal or no casualty. However, i have exhausted most the these sort of battle by then and i just want to get on with the story. So i did this battle with a "At all cost" determination.

For that battle, i played defensive. My troops are Elves, Hunters, Druids, Horsemen, Emerald Green Dragon. With my tactics skill i box up my archers with my horsemen and dragons and cast phantom on the 6th empty space. Therefore, effectively protecting from melee. Most of the enemy army are melee except for the necromancer and skeleton archers which there isn't many anyway. Now, my elves have morale +3 so they crit about 50% of the time so while my melee tanked the back ranks of the enemy are getting decimated. With black hole, light of life, phantom and ressurection i managed to win the battle. There are still casualties though because i don't have enough mana and i don't want to waste time but it is acceptable i guess.
