New player seeks advice about playing a mage and the tactics for no loss

Ok. Yes, the Black Knights are most powerfull units on the game.

I found that one stack of Black Knigts is better than 3 stacks of snakes (green, red, royal)
with 2 Snake rings and 2 Snake boots. Or simply Black Knights are better
than any artefact-completes.

As for the Mage, the spell slow is very effective. And the spell Summon Phoenix,
if anybody is lucky enough to find it somewhere at the begginig of game (first 3,4 islands).

On impossible mode, the Droids are essential, at least in the beginning.

I dont think so. Black Knights are great, but not the most powerful unit in the game. Actually all units are great on specific strategies. I obtained better results with a stack of knights instead of black knights (of course i used a non-undead units spot strategy). Depends on wat kind of game u are playing and wat strategies are u using. I prefer trolls instead of black knights.

And i never used droids on impossible mode, it is just a choice. I can clear the 4 initial islands only with royal snakes and polar bears xD. Once u played a lot of games (and i player a lot on impossible) it doesnt matter wat units do u use at the beginning, cuz the game turns too easy when u have player a loot of games.

Well, then you are a skillful player.

It much depends how can you ressurect units at the end of a battle.

Black Knights can be reanimated by these elvins, very easily.

I did not played with Black Knights, but i have seen how my brother played with them.

Knights and Paladins, yes these are also very strong. My favorite.

It is also a matter of physical resistance. 30% natural + 25% in artifacts (and Guardian Angel, protector skill) + stone skin 40% = 95%.

It is max! With this resistance, units can figt any other units that deal physical damage.

With Snakes you cannot reach this 95% physical resistance. (only if you use stone skin + divine armor) and that costs a lot of mana.

How you ressurect snakes/bears? If you lose some of them. Because you certainly need
the medal of grand strategist, when playing on imposibble mode.
Or you simply do not lose any of them?

Well, i dont use snakes on later islands
