But i did get a Call Colossus from a battle chest while on the first few islands, so i had Trolls and Archdemons against the Spider...

Archdemons would be good if they could generate rage balls (broken now).

As a Soothsayer, I'd like to say: Blizzard, Blizzard, Blizzard.

Cast Blizzard first for 20 mana so you can cast it again for 40 mana. Hey, where did half the enemy horde go in round one? My only gripe is that it only ever seens to freeze one stack max. But I assume that was intentional with such a powerful spell. They should include that in the description though.

Another great combo I found with double cast is Pygmy + Plague to take down any tough stack. Double hp reduction is incredible, especially with high int.

Agreed, though I sometimes cast another spell in place of the first blizzard, like a lv. 2 frost snake to decimate a dangerous stack (nearly guaranteed freeze on that one too).

I'm not entirely sure about the freeze mechanics of Blizzard. I seem to recall it freezing more than one stack but its not very likely.

They generate them just fine for me...

Hmmm state what starting game build and what current build and if you are using user mods or not?

Starting build 6246, current run 6249, zero user patches. My archdemons score kills, but no rage balls appear.

I suppose I could try to make a fresh start build 6249 to see if they show up there.

[edit]
Just retried a start game of 6249 with patch 6249. Demoness and Imp could not generate a rage ball. What happens is, they kill, and the rage ball animation begins, but no rage ball actually appears and they aren't healed either as intended.

I'm really curious what build you are using or start game you are using with patch 6249. Maybe the original? Or some user mod?

Version 1.3.1, build 6246...
No mods...

Well that hardly counts. That isn't the latest version. It did work in that patch for me as well.

While build 6249 fixes quite a few quest issues (but STILL has a few broken ones so I gave up my last run), it adds a SLEW of new bugs as listed here.

Felt like 1 step forward and 2 steps back.

I guess i'll stick with my current build then...
