:mad:

Just finished winning an impossible game. Impossible level was fairly easy in the original release, but the 1.31 upgrade makes it much harder. Enemy wizards do not die when their tower is destroyed (on impossible level), they are merely banished for a few turns. To finish off an enemy wizard you must take every last city from him. His forces will actively defend while he is banished, but cannot use spells.

I like to take runemaster and artificer, this lets you create magic items for half the mana you get back when destroying them, which really pumps your mana early game. A semi-exploit, I suppose, but on impossible you need all the help you can get. Warlord is also very helpful. I don't play on Myrros at high difficulty, growth is too slow to be worthwhile. I don't have a lot of faith in heroes or summoned creatures, I prefer developing the high end military units as soon as possible. Stacks of 8 magicians + 1 paladin work well against most enemy wizard cities. My favorite races are barbarians, high elves, and high men.
