Posts from Runic magic

I agree, and what's most unpleasant is that developing the Rune School hinders the development of the Castle and consumes a lot of resources. Also, Rune magic isn't that overpowered; in my opinion, it's better to upgrade the Guild of Mages, and I use Rune magic quite rarely.

Using the energy rune against strong archers can save a lot of resources... You just need to use it correctly and sparingly. It's a really overpowered item. That's why I don't like playing as the Dwarves – a lot depends on whether it drops...

It always drops.

not always, often but not always
you have to find it and level it up a couple of times, it always drops 1

maybe... it always dropped for me

I recently had a similar experience.
I was playing as Lethos against Karl in a duel mode. I managed to hypnotize the Jarls (or Earls), and when their turn came, I used the Rune of War and wanted to attack a group of dwarf stacks. But he (the Earl) didn't attack at all; he just teleported to the location where he was supposed to attack. It was very frustrating! Why did this happen? Is this another bug?

Here's something I noticed recently: if you use a rune to attack with Erlam, after they've made a few attacks, you can use this trick: activate the Berserk rune, then press "wait." After their turn, activate the Battle Fury rune and attack all opponents within range. They'll attack without retaliation once, and then again in the same sequence. It's amazing, especially if you have good luck; it worked 4 out of 6 times for me! Awesome!
