Ancient Tales

[Torin]

MoM is one of the games i played most together with Pirates!, Moo2, Dominions and many other strategy games.

Life & Death

After I could beat the game in impossible I wanted to archieve other things. Collect the most spells by trading, exploring ruins and reading books. But one rule I could not brake and that made me feel uncomfortable. No life and death spells at the same time.
If you pick life you can summon Torin or join Elana who know life spells themselves. Bout you cannot get those heroes if you pick death, likewise you cannot cast death spells if you choose life, no Ravashak.

But I had a plan. I picked death & other elements.

Located an archangel defending a dungeon

Mind Storm-Vertigo-Black Sleep (maybe theres an other spell in the middle of the chain) Then drain life to the death.

At the end of the battle I would have an undead archangel with several cool life spells. NOT
the undead archangel had a good asortment of DEATH spells. haha so Steve Barcia knew my intentions of breaking his rules and closed that backdoor, clever.

[I like Serena]

Hey Torin!

I gave myself both a life book and a death book with the Tweaker.
That opens up all possibilities.

More like a spellcasting creature gets spells that correspond with its domain. "Undead" creatures are death realm, so when the game checks it they get death spells.

Maybe for my next game I'll use the editor to make a life/death wizard. Should be divided 5/5, and the last pick for...something. Hmm.

Yeah, an undead Djinn or Efreet also casts death spells. The ways to cast life spells as death are:

• Priests cast healing.
  
• Serena casts healing, and can be acquired by any wizard.
  
• Magic Item: Axe of the Caster (high prayer)
  
• Magic Item: The Traveller (holy weapon)
  
• Magic Item: Word of God (holy weapon)
  
• Cast Creature Binding on an Archangel, assuming it hasn't already spent all its magic points.
  

The ways to cast death spells as life are:

• Use Insecticide and get Morgana (Darkness, Mana Leak, Black Prayer, Possession)
  
• You can in principle acquire undead via a vampiric weapon.

Hasn't archangel illusion immunity?

[Torin]

Creature Binding. yeah that.
Illusion i think its invisible units and illusionary weapons.

Also makes them immune to Mind Storm and Vertigo, IIRC.
