Wtf Where are the "good" units?????

[McSwan]

Well, On my first game I played I got 5 demonologists in Scarlet and constantly sacrificed units to to get there numbers up, while maintaining no losses. New unit will show up somewhere, It looks like you could goto in elon and get some dragons/elves.

Was that a mage game by any chance? I'm asking because the only time I (and at least one other person) saw this unit was in a mage game, and if I remember correctly there were exactly 5 available.

On my normal paladin game, I got a few demonologists early... can't remember where exactly... scarlet I think. I also used sacrifice to grow their numbers.

yup I was a mage.

I got demonologists on my 2nd or 3rd game i played, but on the mage tower on Verona. Right now, im on Montero, cleared tekron and umkas and only found giants, sigh, needed to cast a call collosus spell to finally get 12 trolls. This game is one of the worst ive ever played lol wat a bad units. I wish i could find demonologist somewhere else, now im using archmages but cant find more than the 120 stack on Verona lol Xd. Cant find more than 35 cannoners on Montero omg. Not even on the Hagni Castle and the other one. My only hope right now is Elon. I think i will get hunters or druids.. (i cant get anything else .. ).

They are as random as any other unit without a "home island"

I played through twice now. One warrior and one Mage. My warrior found a whopping 200 on Verona and even more on Reha and Nameless Island.
My Mage only saw 150.... And those were on Nameless Island.

remember, this game is random-based, what do u think what that means?
if u want ur favorit army, u should scan ur save b4 u start to play.
anotherwise, see it as a challenge.

Thats the point, too much random and no random at all lol. And nop, i dont want my favourite army, i just want a totally different army with interesting units, not only torns, snakes, spiders, pirates and bowmen xDDD. < joke one thing is the random system, imagine u play 8 games and u get the same crap units all the time, will be boring. So i think more good random units on the first 4 - 5 island should be better.

Definitely a good idea, especially for people who can't or don't (want to) kite maps!

I think the developers were trying to control the challenge offered by the first 4 islands (Debir-Scarlet-Bolo-Rusty Anchor) by limiting the unit types. You did get a bad hand though if Verona didn't give you any good units... but all games have the assured units, and those are the ones I usually play with anyways: Royal Thorns, Inquisitors, Royal Snakes, Archmages, Repair Droids, Guard Droids, Cyclopses.

The wanderer scrolls also provide a great variety of troops, but they could be rare if you haven't been using the pet dragon to dig a lot. In the game I'm playing I got 4 Call Colossus and 2 Call of Death just through duplicate navi maps and dragon dig at Debir-Scarlet-Bolo; see attached screenshot of my game at Bolo (already used 2 Call Colossus to get black and red dragons). So dig up!
