Unusual sighting question

[Alzreborn]

I see some of my positions leaders die alot doing what I think are easy encounters.  I try and use mirror image or guarded attack on my mages but should i put s shield spell up?  I will have artifact help on the encounters with good across the board on success.  Its super aggravating to have a high leader die to a easy encounter.  or operator error is hard to accept. lol

As far as I know, the Shield spell does not help with encounters. Not much you can do to protect leaders other than Armor/Shield artifacts. I do try to make my encounter as strong as possible and cast guarded/mirror with wizards even if they aren't strictly needed.

Don’t use the calculator, John is working on getting it upgraded… I am a master on US deaths, as Brek will attest.

Each kingdom has an inherent +- for that kingdom. Then you also have kingdom traits that will play into the success.

Ex: I have used the calculator for IL and SO on same encounter, one would be green across the other everything, except guarded attack is in danger. Both wizard kingdoms, same Power lvl wizards and leaders. Only difference is the inherited +- each kingdom has and what the actual defense classification of kingdom troops are. IMO also checked it with military kingdoms, same results, some have a better chance than others.

I once lost three leaders on a fine class: <.5% on each loss… killed my game..

Best case is to use the highest leaders possible guarded or mirror image(although a slight risk exist with this spell) and if possible don’t use the tac 3 option as it puts a greater risk on the death of companions. IMO

Shield isn’t a US option…use the spells under the US spell block..

But getting those artifacts... so tasty

Leaders die. They really are expendable. Wizards... not so much. Use guarded attack.

so to be clear I dont need a Marshall and a elite as a example, just a elite now?

I never had an issue with the player aid for unusual encounters. It is VERY helpful for new players. I wouldn't know what to do without it.
