Im new to this forum but not new to this game. The reason to why I even found it was that I was wondering what Spell Save was.
My favourite way to win at impossible is to pick 11 books of Life and Highmen. I choose Stream of Life, the lower tier spells is not very important but I usually pick plane shift and true sight. I immediatly start casting Stream of Life in the beginning of the game and boost mana to the max. When I have it active on my city I boost the taxes to 100% since noone will strike with Stream of Life activated. I go for bank as fast as possible and then I just start spamming settlers and put Stream of Life on every city.
With the huge amount of taxes I can just use alchemy to cover the mana cost. If you have come this far you just about won since you get more income than you can spend and you will have alot of RP coming in with all the highmen cities. Buy lots of buildings, you won't get low on cash. Then just cast Incarnation as soon as possible and kill everything you can with Torin+paladins.
Another strategy that is really good is to pick 11 Death books and choose wraiths as the high tier spell. Summon them as fast as possible and take every town you can. If you can, kill the other wizards when you find them. You will get loads of guarded cities with nice defense since all the troops you kill will become undead. This means no upkeep so it is basically free defense for all your towns.
Now, this is arcanus of course and I would really like to know some good strategies for beating 4 opponents as myrran on impossible without modifying the game by for example changing the items that you will loot. Long post, but I am so excited to see that I'm not the only one loving this game.
Edit: 11 books=)
