Spider no loss without Magic Spring ?

[Youpiya]

I think it is doable. Xev did it, that gives me hope. Did you try to have Cyclops ? succeeding in the quest of the zombie woman gives you a Call Colossus spell !!

I travel all other the map, the best unit I had is Archidemon, I think with 4 jotuns + 3 archdemons + 3 trolls + my 100 manas (I upgraded a few items) + a good combination in combat, it is doable.

Now, true, you are Viking, not Soothsayer... My 100 manas are useful, your 100 rages are no use in the spider combat...
This is the 4th time I restart the game in impossible to have a total no loss, I knew the Viking sucked after playing 10 hours as it. I almost succeeded as a Skald, but the necromancer is nearly doable and I did not have the good scrolls...

Good luck anyway... Restarting totally after 150 fights, it is tough, because 150 fights is very long. I would have waited 1 or 2 month myself before restarting, in order to have the "fire". Moreover, in 1 or 2 months, the Archdemon power bug will be (I hope) corrected.
