If enemies with high intellect behaved like red gremlins it would be quite impossible to finish the game without any losses.

gremlins are the only creatures with infinte mana...
the AI also cannot regen mana per round, that is, they use up their mana and thats it. afterwards you just mine mana from some weak troops you let live and resurrect all of your troops.

How do you do that?

[taltamir]

kill all but one or so of an archer (ideally one that hits multiple hexes with one shot, or has very short range), or better yet, a NO RETALIATION enemy troop. Put some troops near it, case magic spring on your unit and let it be hit. you get 5 mana per hit.

I don't understand why do you keep calling it magic spring when it's not called that.

[taltamir]

it is in my version, i just checked and it says "magic spring"
There was a bug where defeating the giant turtle says you got two scrolls, one of which was "source of magic" and you did not actually receive it, well: 1. it was fixed so now you receive it.
2. it is a translation artifact, everywhere else in the game it is called "magic spring"

I have it named "Magic Spring" as well, since the demo...
