[benbird]

firstly,change Yog's equipment,I like pendant of courage,and 'armageddon' is not our main spell to attack the enemy,it will waste our more manas.
take 1 mage and 1 pegasi(whatever they are low level or upgrade),1 mage can reduce 2 manas casted by you every turn in one combat and pegais will increase 2 manas casted by the enemy every turn in one combat,so remember take these creatures if you want to exhaust the enemy's manas:-)

[benbird]

now enter the combat.
firstly,cast 'force field' to protect the archdevils

[benbird]

he will cast 'stone skin' and 'shield' if he like,whatever he casts,you cast 'prayer' next turn and cast 'force field' again at this place.

[benbird]

at this place,he likes to cast 'clone' ,if in the oringinal place ,he likes to cast 'slow',if he does,cast 'haste',and you always find a way to antimagic your archdevils.
but now,you needn't:-)

[benbird]

it is very easy to exhaust his manas,archdevils wait and kill one 'clone',use 'magic arrow' to kill another 'clone'.

now,you expend your 9 manas every 2 turns and he will waste 44 manas every 2 turns

[benbird]

his manas will be exhausted soonly,and you have much more manas yet-)

[benbird]

then 'slow' them and try to 'berserk' them

[benbird]

the effort is not very good because Yog has no fire magic
so 'bless' and try to use 'frenzy' archdevils,this manas can increase the troops attack skill strongly.

[benbird]

ok,I defeat him and leave 300 more manas:-)

[benbird]

btw:
you had better to defeat the enemy by a hero with fire magic,because expert fire magic 'berserk' is very stronger magic in this map:-)


I defeat the followed enemies by Gem,for she learns fire magic and she is an 'armorer' spcialty hero.

That's why I prefer WoG over SOD, such exploit of AI weakness is not possible. In WoG AI will cast dispel when necessary and remove your force field.

Black orb, berserk, prayer/haste, archdevils, badge of courage (immune to blind) and force field, I don't see how even a newbie can lose this. Sitting behind a force field for 40 turns and just wait AI to exhaust his mana on useless spells because he wasn't given the right ones is not the battle I would like to be proud of.

The only thing that could make this battle realistic and rewarding would be to give to AI dispel and force the player to fulfill a quest giving sphere of permanence before this battle. Makes sense then.

yes,this is AI of H3:-)
for some BT(hentai) maps,this is only a solution to defeat the enemy.
However,this enemy has no 'dispel' spell in this save:-0

I assume that images from this thread, including the save are lost. What a pitty.
