Question about the one invisible green dragon tactic

mana drain is the emerald green dragon ability

furthermore the INTELLECT depends on how much units you spawn

That 35 mana spent right there, you spend 5 mana on magic spring, then the 400 brontors take them out in 2 turns. You now have 10 mana after spending 40. Even if you cast stone skin (7 more mana and another spell that turn) they will still get wiped out pretty quickly.


.

i can spawn more than 40 executionars

anyways

there are abilities that can increase the spawning of the demon's portal

+ some items can do it too

but besides that a high intellect of 55+ renders your demons portal quite effective

and i'm sure the strat works on overpowered stacks also

just place a good demons portal(not in the middle of a crowd)

besides if u use the map well
u can block on path of from your units spawned from the demon portal(i do hope your egd is invisible)

in which case your spawned unit should lang enough to generate the mana

Clinek, You said in the impossible mage thread that its pretty easy to get 95% magic resistance, could you give an example of what combination of items/skills that gives you that?

It is pretty easy WITH THE GIFT BAG. Without it, it is much harder.

The gift back introduces the Helm of Chaos item, that is fairly common. It gives 50% magic resistance by itself. In general:

50% Helm of Chaos
20% Mirror Shield
25% Anti Magic Diploma (from elon university)

You can also get 5% from leather dress, 7% from Guardian Angel. I think there might be a few other sources. Oh yes, the Mage robe thing that gives more and more magic resistance and mana as you level it up. Don't recall its exact name at the moment though.
