King's Bounty - artifacts, wives etc.

It seems to me that Royal Snakes with the frog queen bonus are (a lot) better than Sea Dogs with Mirabella bonus. Faster, better initiative, lunge, no retaliation.

The elf princess is my fav. I don't think i will use snakes and pirates till the end game. Not that they are bad but i prefer ranged troops.

I'm level 22 Paladin playing on hard level and my Sea Dogs are putting out 49 on Attack. So the snakes perform better at this stage do they? I will no doubt restart with Mage on impossible if I have not move onto a different game by then.

i'm 21lvl warrior and my Royal Snakes have 55 attack and 12-16 dmg, 7 initiative, 4 speed. I'm hitting Land of the Dead and with Silver Rapier, Sword of Light and Holy Anger form Inqs my Royal Snakes tear apart every beast on my way:] I would never change it to Mirabella wife and Sea Dogs (but I'm not so arogant to claim that my idea is better, it's just perfect for me )

btw any ideas to increase morale of Royal Snakes?

could anyone please tell me if the "painskull" and the "Demonic Mask" is of any use ? I would like to know what it does after I get it down to 0%.
Also, I see the name silver rapier and a few others mentioned more than one time, are those some sort of fixed artifacts/xx ? Reason why I am sking is that I am having a hard time in the Book of death land.

don't know about Demonic Mask but Painskull is pain in the ass for 50 battles after which it turns into Dead Skull(?) which give +5atk +5 int Silver Rapier is weapon you can obtain by finding recipe (don't know if it's random), you can give it to guy in Magic Guild and he can make Silver Rapier for you but the cost is massive - 5 Mind Runes!! 2 Magic Crystals and some money.

You can always open eng_items.lng (or items.txt if you prefer code, like me) and check what each item does.
