game was fun. only problem is it either needed less XP to aquire the abilities or the game needed to be longer. by the time i beat it i had only unlocked 10 of the 22 abilities. almost seemed pointless to worry about them.
4/5 still =)
one more thing to make the epic boss easier to kill... have a high level purple gem that will reduce armor levels. this gem will make it much easier for the other gems to inflict damage.
so the best unit ive discovered is using 5 knights on the front line, then 3 mages in the back. i got 980 pts with them. only lost 2 in the archer battle, got perfects on all the rest.
