Unlimited defense:
Choose the Life Warrior, and when you get to the playing field, double click on him and move The Peacemaker artifact from his hand to his backpack. His defense will keep going up. Repeat this to build the defense indefinitely. This also can be done with the same artifact obtained when the life great temple is conquered with the Life Mage Lord. Note: This trick does not work with v2.02.
Control opposing army:
Note: This trick works better with fast troops. When in a capital and attacked by an army larger than your own, just run away. If your troops can get away, and you do not get into any more fights until your turn, then you may be able to control the opposing army in a limited way. Although you will not be able to move the army, they will be on the bottom panel instead of your characters. Double click on them, and click the disband button. You can not disband Lords. It a Lord entered your capital, move in with an army. This trick can be used to win the game if the Lord who enters the capital is Balkoth with his unholy armies.
Get Possessed unit:
Get a high level order wizard who knows the spell Possession (or a high level mage of any kind that has the Amulet Of Control). When going into battle, cast the Possession spell on any of enemy unit that is two levels lower than your mage. Before the battle ends, press the computer button. If you have won the battle, the possessed unit will still be there, but it has now joined your party. If you do not want to press the computer button, cast dispel magic on the possessed unit during or after the battle. With this trick you can get lords who already have taken their great temple (even Balkoth and also renegade only units such as the elephant. This also works with the “Walk Among Us” spell from death.
Boosted Defense:
Select the Life Warrior, Mage Or Thief. When Asked for the difficulty repeatedly click on “Easy”. Your Defense will begin to rise.
Undead army:
If you have a Dark Necromancer with the “Raise Skeleton” spell, you can use it to create skeletons from defeated enemies after the battle. Since three skeletons are one unit, if you raise less than three after a battle then heal using crystals at a temple, you will have a full unit of skeletons instead of just one or two.
Easy win:
Use the following trick when an army is too powerful to fight head on and you have access to Fairies. Save the game and send something to make sure the enemy has no missile attack, no flying creatures, and that the battle has rocks that cannot be walked on. If the conditions are met, buy a full army of Fairy Slingers and send them in. Do not attack immediately. Instead, position the Fairies over the rocks and places Foot Soldiers cannot reach, then attack. If there is a Mage, kill it first. The enemy army will walk toward the Fairies and stand at the edge of the rock while the Fairies attack until the entire army is destroyed. This can be done with any creature that flies and has the opportunity. Dragons can take out a numbers a Archers and then defeat the rest of the army without losing any more hit points.
