Impossible Warrior challenge

[TemjinGold]

Zhunagzi: Since you are doing it already, do you know if you can get past +3 Morale? Do you know what the highest morale possible might be? I just want to know if the elf lady + this elf morale arty I have plus all the other junk is over the cap. I like the frog lady's slots better (yeah that sounds bad) so I don't want to swap her out if morale can't get higher.

+3 is the cap , everything higher acts like a +3.

Yeah, High morale (+3) is as high as it goes, but there is also the issue of what kind of slots the wives have (sounds really bad ) I like a full elf team, and even though the women are happy, the male archers need a little love too from the elf wife. That way everyone can be happy.

Ahh... thanks. I'll be skipping unicorns then.

Why did I bother with the Elven wife at all? She has two regalia slots and one artifact/regalia. No weapon slots at all. I don't care about the +1 morale for elves because they already have high morale with Anga's Ruby and also if you use Druids. So she is useless, IMO.

I wanted Xeona instead - who is the best wife in the game as far as I am concerned, so it was off to Demonis. It was very hard to sneak in this time because Katana and another demon army were guarding the portal, but I managed in the end.

To mock me, Fire Rain is EVERYWHERE in this game. I have seen it for sale in maybe six different places. And I couldn't find it at all in my last game.

Xeona is a very hard fight at level 20. The elf team didn't really work (partly because I had lost some troops) so I bought up a temporary demon team to do the job. With Xeona on my side, I can equip three weapons in total. You can't go past this, I don't think. A Mage will equip Archmage's Staff, and a Warrior a variety of nice swords, like Kerus' sword.

I've got the Pain skull but it takes so long to do its business. In fact, I have never seen it upgraded before because I HATE losing half my mana. I think it's down to 44%

So, in short, I'm winning. Money is a bit of an issue (only 300,000) but I have an excellent team now and still plenty of stuff to do in Kordar, Ellinia and even a few fights in Freedom Isles. It's day 20 so my score won't be very high.

Oh, and Hunters/Elven Archers are so good with the Dwarven telescope. The only place in the game that seems to reliably sell Hunters is a sorceror's tower in Demonis. He has over 600 for sale.

If I had Hordes of Lake Fairies/Sprites I would keep using them, but I don't, so here is my team at level 20 with 13,000 leadership:

6 Red Dragons
70 Orc Shamans (Xeona sells them for some reason )
90 Horsemen
110 Hunters
220 Elven Archers

This is a pretty versatile team with a nice mix of ranged/direct damage, plus some decoy stuff from the Shamans. I am able to beat Match and Slightly Stronger stacks without any losses.

Only one remark - with Xeona you may equip 4 weapons, not 3. Warrior can equip 2nd weapon in the shield slot

Why will you skip unicorns? They are great against fire. I like elves but generic elves suck against fire (dragons, deamons) they rock against non-fire (i.e, dwarves/undead).

I was mostly going to use them for the morale bonus. I'll use 2 stacks of elven archers instead.

I am also on warrior impossible. It's very possible with no losses.

I used this strategy - by lvl 5 i was at demonis grabbing the dragon eggs. Thus now i'm back clearing the basic stuff without any losses at all. I have the sacrifice spell, but currently have not enough intellect to get a dragon out of it ... well that's how i'm doing it at least. Currently my stacks are emerald, black, red dragon and a stack of archdevils.

I'm a bit confused - how are people getting to demonis at level 5 ? I thought that in order to get there you had to (a) kill the turtle and (b) obtain the dwarven map. It would seem to me that killing the turtle as warrior pre-level 5 is quite a feat (with or without losses). Also, to obtaint he map you need either 50K; kill redbeard or kill john. This also seems quite a feat at pre-level 5. Am I missing something obvious ?
