Defense vs. Resistance

Thanks, I think that makes sense. Especially the part concerning low level creatures. As I read that someone mentioned that Mage on Impossible needed high defense, but I managed no loss with Impossible Mage + Black Knights + Stone Skin + 11 defense to win. So, I couldn't figure out why anyone would invest in defense. I want to use the same strategy with Executioner but with the spell "Ressurection"+"God Armor" instead of Eviln on a Paladin, since timing is more critical on Eviln. Just a tip for anyone playing with "Eviln" - you can teleport your unit on it without losing the turn.... Does anyone know of any other gear that does -% leadership reduction for demons besides "Demetrius 1/2/3"?

I think thats the only one that reduces leadership.

never mind on the Executioner strategy...unless you have massive intelligent, you can only ress about 10-20 units at a time...Black Knights + Moro = greatest unit of them all??

Black Knights already have 30% physical resistance while Executioners only have 10% physical resistance. With stone skin, Black Knights get 70% physical resistance. You add in some physical resistance items and Black Knights become almost invulerable.

not really .. stil casters with magic damage can hurt them, never forget that ..

Exactly. Archmagi, Gorguanas, Evil Eyes, Beholders, Red/Black Dragons, and all kinds of units with fire/magic damage hurt them a lot. In such cases, some items that improve the resistances the black knights is weak against, works wonders.

Previously on my mage, I got all the magic resistance gears so it works out great with the Black Knight. This time, the pally has the best two pieces of physical resistance. I want to beat the game (with no loss ofcourse) some other way beside BK, and I really like the idea of one unit army - much less micro managment. I played KB with just vampires with no loss, which was great fun. This time I love units with unlimited retaliation (BK, Griffins, Exec..), since they make the fights much shorterrrrrrr. As you can tell, I like efficient army...
