Protip:
step 1: You can drive inflation in cities that you like to sell certain items too. If you are able to hold over a certain amount of an item that a certain city likes to buy(shoes in drushlak for instance) you can drive the price of shoes there by repeatedly buying at the low price they offer and selling at the high price they offer without leaving the city. This causes the city to get rich which drives the prices up(both ways). If you want the item to be more expensive, just do that a few times.
step two:
step three: profit
I know this may be voted down into submission, but the 0 luck thing can be used to your advantage. If you figure out the system, you can use the 0 luck with everything else to benefit from the zealous destroy everything raids of the enemy.
@fatcatattack 25 turns easy. Just keep your little island, take over blue's capital and then work towards red's capital while all of their forces are busy getting back from taking over violet. Then violet's one 99/99 is a nice piece of cake to polish off.
@1997kam1 Use skills to get close if you'll notice, his sword doesn't hit right in front of him. In Hard and Epic difficulty you have to use magic or no element. Nothing else works.
