Oh yeah, damn, that decreased my score drastically. I can't believe I never even thought of working how the COMPUTER played. Now I can beat Mog and the tally will shift in my favor!

Good luck. He used a completely different method then I did.

So Stan, do you still wanna know how to really kill this game and beat the dark army in 20ish turns?


Yes sir.  Please explain how you did it.  I still can't seem to figure out what you did.  My tactic only gets me so low.

You need to attract enemy's troops to attack you. The best way to achieve it is to attack them on dark spaces. You need to battle almost exclusively on dark spaces to maximize your chances to get attacked. Then, the hardest part, don't lose any battle.

Personally, my strategy was something like:

Teleport Valkyrie on manticore
Defend
Attack Troll with Valkyrie
Defend
(At this point, it is best if their Sorcerer has not summoned element on me = losing a turn)

Attack Sorcerer with Valkyrie
(Yes, I use the Valkyrie. I don't know if it's personal, but I think they are easy to control. They shoot relatively fast, and they're good to avoid enemy's attacks. Also, they make the battle against the Shape Shifter easier than against a dark Unicorn or Djinni.)

Defend

(From now on, I want to let the Valkyrie on the Sorcerer spot. The enemy usually wants to retake position of that spot, so if you leave it free, he will likely not attack you and move on the sorcerer's spot.)

Summoned elemental on a Basilisk
(Kill one of those bastard while they're still on white spot. My preference.)

Defend (with Valkyrie)

Move Djinni at mid-action range

Defend (with Valkyrie)

Attack Manticore with Djinni

The rest of my strategy can be resumed like this.

Trying to attack harder character with Djinni, and defending mostly goblin's attack with the Valkyrie on Sorcerer's spot. At some point, goblins might stop attacking the Valkyrie or the Djinni, so it
is time to just get them with the nearest skilled character.

Yeah, the mimic is annoying, the trick is to kill it with the unicorn or a knight. I use the unicorn. It tends to stay back as the unicorn


The amount of space the computer leaves between you and him is dependent on the computer character. The slower ones like the manticore and troll will get very close to you. The basilist (snake guy) moves very fast and will stays far away.  Same goes for mimic-unicorn.

This is so you can avoid their attacks if you stay in a "safe zone". If the basilist got any closer, you would have a very little chance of avoiding his shots unless you got real lucky.  Same goes for the slow guys, if they did not get close, they would have no chance of beating you as you can easily avoid their slow shots.
