Giants ruin no losses impossible campaign

Yes, I know the feeling... and the thing is they don't even do that much damage, but just enough to kill a couple of units from your land-based troops.

You could cast Glots Armor on your weakest land-based troop, but that's just for one troop...

I'm assuming you don't have Gift for your Inquisitors; on a no-casualties run, most veterans make sure they have either Resurrect or Gift available early on, else start a new game. This is because you couldn't get enough flying units to avoid the "ticky-tack" damage from the inevitable Giants at dwarven lands.

Try to get fliers just for your dwarven lands run. Or fight fire with fire: take high HP units like Giants so that their jump-stomp is laughable. Then switch back to your regular army once you've killed all enemies that have Giants in them.

Nice thinking, has it worked for you? I have not come across any inquisitors and im at level 14!!

I'm off to rescue the dwarf kings son and get the reaper spirit, after I get that it's going to be Griffins/Timeback for the next 10 lvl ups at least

Wow... no Resurrect and no Inquisitors on a no-casualties run... you have quite a challenging game there, considering that the hardest part of a no-casualties run is the first two continents of the game (Darion and Islands of Freedom).

Honestly, I've only played Paladin, so those suggestions above are just IMHO good strategies for the situation you are in.

Btw, if you actually have Sacrifice and Heal, you can Sacrifice-Heal your Giants to bring back dead units from other troops.

Good luck on your game, I commend you for taking up such a challenging situation.

I gave up on the no losses campaign lol That can only be done if you use Paladin or by some miracle you find inquisitors early on

My advice to you (i play a warrior atm -impossible no casualties) is to skip all battles in Demonis and Dwarf's Land when you visit them the first time and try to find Ancient Vampires.(most of the time they are for sale in Necromancer house in Dwarf's Land ) also you can look for them in Death land when you go to Ellinia. After battle with Karador the game will send you back to Dwarf's Land and Demonis to find the key to Haas Labyrinth. This time ,using only one stack of Ancient Vampires (transformed in bats at the start of first round), you can clear out all enemy stacks in both continents without to much trouble and most important with no losses. For the hard battles( Xeona and Baal ) Use invisibility ,Cloud of Poison,Rage Draining and Chargers combo . If you look at the picture you can see that the Cloud has 13 attacks before it vanish. That's 1040-2080 dmg per use done to multiple stacks. Multiply this with ,let's say, 10 uses and you have 10400-20800 dmg before the enemy will ever see you.

An alternative to this is to go for Demoness + Anga's Ruby. You would have the same advantage initiative-wise as you would with Ancient Vampire + Dark Commander (level 3).

Nice tip on the Cloud of Poison there bucazaurus. Now I know how to kill all-dragon enemies before the Chargers glitch start turning my mana and rage balls invisible.
