tactics
spell choice
These spells are worth considering:
dryads - to take over the pops
morph - for use with eagle
eagle for use with morph
raise dead - very usful for bringing trolls and mountain giants into your army
lightning - to finish off the enemy wizard
bugs
For some reason, if you cast pestilence onto the mountain giant, Gunrock,
it may spread to your own troops?!
using gunrock
If you can kill Gunrock, the first mountian giant,
raise him from the dead and you'll have a mountian giant to play with.
possess PoPs
Use dryads
to take over PoPs (Krish will genrally use
eagles and
trolls,
which drayads can defeat).
Keep sending dryads to take over PoPs when they are lost.
killing Krish
You are under a time limit here, so you must find Krish, the theif lord, quickly.
You should by now have the PoPs under control, so your mana should be high.
Morph into an
eagle and fly around the map looking for the thief lord.
When you happen upon him (and his icon appears on screen),
pause the game,
and cast all the lightning bolts on his head that you can.
With Krish now defeated, get back to the boat - fast!
