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.
