Playing as the Empire (Disciples 2)

Who knows for sure, I'm certain that in my Russian version of "Ragnarok," it was Torquemada; I can borrow the same disc from a friend and post a screenshot.

I believe you. I have "Ragnarok," but I haven't played it. "Rebellion" and "Guardians of Darkness" are Russian versions, but I swear, there are no Torquemadas in them.

But I don't remember if two poisons work simultaneously.

I don't remember either. Poison and burn, or poison and frostbite – those work. But two poisons – I don't remember. Or maybe that situation just never came up.

With upgraded skills, you can take down an archlich, a shadow, or an archvampire right away.

You can take them down, but werewolves or demons can cause so much trouble that only a mage can save you...
But I like assassins. When they're on my side, of course. When they're not, they annoy me.
And by the way, what about the elementalist? Are there people who use him? I don't take him; I immediately upgrade leadership to 5 and enjoy life. Actually, I don't use mages at all; I have a hero who acts as a mage (it's very simple. You can export the hero along with all the bonuses he has).
