Actually, Call of Nature spell is great on first 4 islands. After that it is uselles.

Phoenix is overpowered until level 50, probably.

Healing on a Mage (Soothsayer) is great because you can damage undeads with it, 300 + damage for 1 mana.

Stone Skin is a must have for a mage.

For units, best on 4 islands are those that you cannot lose, so you can get 100 victories without losses before fighting with giant Spider.

- Trolls
- Jarls
- Warrior Maidens
- Engineers
- Jotuns
- Soothsayers

For giant Spider:
- Trolls (if you get Sacrifice spell you can create some Trolls up to max leadership)
- Polar Bears
- Jarls
- Warrior Maidens
- Royal Snakes

- Use higher magic, stone skin, heals, hell breath on Polar Bears, ... and win.
