Perhaps too much. It seemed impossible without the cyclops.

I remember it being harder, but I don't think I had any problem with Xeona as my wife with her Demon troops.

What kind of troops did you use before you resorted to the Cyclops?

A human army plus elves and dwarves. Consisting on something along the lines of Archmages, Horseman, Inquisitors, Elves and Dwarves.

Then I left archmages, dwarves and inquisitors and switch to Black Dragons, Unicorns and Cannoners. And finally discarded dragons in favour of cyclops. Regardless the army composition, all units were slaughtered except the cyclops, who ended the battle with 200 attack.

So can you tell me more about how you were losing?

For example, were you being overrun by the Dark Crystal summons or were the dead stacks being reanimated causing problems or was there some other issue?

Were you using your Phoenix, Ice Ball, etc.?

There is actually a strategy to this one and based on how you were losing, I could probably give you some tips...

Totally overwhelmed by the enemies which were there already. The zombies and necromancers were specially mean. That's why I tried to counter effect with unicorns, whose increase magic resistance and horn of light could made a difference.

Yep, I used Ice Ball a few times. And Phantom. Not the best cannon fodder this time. Both were destroyed by a single skeletons attack. Same as Black Dragons.

Ice Ball proved to be useful later on, though. When my cyclops were agonizing, less units kept alive and the distance between them were larger.

My Mature Phoenix wasn't powerful enough to endure the fight.

Also employed traps and teleport to no avail.

Sigh. Now I'm struggling against Bagu. Any tip? It seems I cannot cope with his three spells per turn.

My army consist of Inquisitors, Black Dragons, Cyclops, Elves, Horsemen, Knights and Guardsmen. Two of them in reserve, obviously.

I cast Target on Horsemen (they have unlimited retaliation due to my son), but Bagu turns them into sheep or make them weaker through Pigmy. Things get worse when the orc boost his troops with Phantom or Berserk.

It seems key to get some of his units out of play, make them irrelevant. I try to do so through Ice Ball and Phantom, but haven't been very lucky so far.

I did it!! I defeated the bastard on my own!! Epic.

My tactic was to maximize damage output by using repetidaly Cloud of Poison, Black Hole even when such strategy implied sacrify some of my units. And put meanwhile the rest of my last troops at safe positions, boosting them with Enchanted Hero and Gizmo, and using Ice Ball as both a distraction and a weapon.
