I decided a sligtly different strategy but was again defeated..

Any clues as to how I could win against this man? His magic is killing :P
Am thinking of using a magic shield (20% through talent), but that would mean slightly fewer swordsmen and bowmen(as am using rally right now).. Any other tactical move apart from this? |
try buying a cape of the winds, 25% less damage, and you can use it since you're level 6.
I'd give anything to be able to use it, I can't fight elves well just because their druids take out my ghosts too quickly. use the cape when you can. |
U have to do :
1. Upgrade ur farmers to recruit .. He did it for poisoners .. U will get more troops by 5%
2. Do not defend ur Swordsmen .. Ur griffins did well, but ur SM not ... U wasted ur turn by defending .. while u can attack, better wait, try to take retal with farmers first .. do not directly attack with SM ..
3. Try to add ur racial .. it is important and VERY IMPORTANT for knights .. will add 5% of ur troops ..
4. Use escort, do not bring rally at level 6 .. Escort will help u so much .. ^^
Best regards,

Hey thanks for your suggestions..

Will definitely be buying the cape of the winds..

1. Haven't got the farmer upgrade construction going coz it requires a hell lotta money and I never seem to have it.. You will attribute it to my low LG but am working on it now all the time
2. I would've used the wait button, but I didnt want his mana to completely finish off my swords before they even got the chance to attack once on them
3. I have built the training chambers and well whenever my skill level increases I am able to recruit more creatures.. I suppose I am using it :)
4. I found escort very useful in lvl 5.. But in lvl 6, I think Morale + rally is so crucial.. Against mana guys, I would prefer using basic defence+20% magic shield.. Might help me more :)
Finally one more noobish question.. Doesnt my increase in "defence" help against any kind of magic? Or is it only for melee and ranged attacks? |

increased defense only helps against melee and ranged not magic |
| Try being more specific.... use escort and use it on swordsmen . Try buying cape. dont go for magic shield. dont fight with him.... |
| my magic stronger^_^ |

Dont fight with whom?!?

Knowledge 7 is insane! |
for skullhunter: OMG, yeahh I saw ur arts and magic .. :) Cool and awesome .. :)
for StOlEnDeStInY: cape of winds is a good choice too .. :) have fun to try .. :) |
| you can also go to talents and use barrier which reduces magic damage. Personally I use escort + luck. To me for level 6 that is the best combo. |
| Yeahh Barrier is a good talent too .. but Escort I think is a must ... u can kill faster with that .. I think what Lucid-Naz said .. are good combinations .. ^^ |
the only problem I see with swordsmen is they can't chase down his minos, as swords have 4 and mino have 5 speed.
cape of winds + protection is a whopping 45% magic defense against his arrow! you are crazy by not using it!! |
Somehow,I suggest looking at your opponent before fighting them.And what makes you think that a knight gurranteed defeat dark elf?
Dark Elf had 2 kind.Might Dark Elf and Magician Dark Elf.
If you met a might dark elf,45 % defense of magic defense will be nothing to them as they only use magic twice or something doesnt use at all.
(There is many.Most champion of the survival tournamet in dark elf was Might Dark Elf.It's might cause a big effect to many dark elf[Include me,who was an ex magician])
And believe me.28 VS might 19 mino will not become a good option if you both had around the same amount of arts.So shoot and weaken 19 mino before killing them
Archer can become a good choice.But you must took good care of it(Lizard cavalry had nice speed.If the might elf is using rogue.It's will be a bit troublesome.)
If lizard cavalry strike griffin,griffin will get a big chance of getting a really pain,might lose 4-5 because of lizard charge and around 7-8 if got luck.So attack lizard cavalry before it strike you,the different is quite big. |
