Hi Guys, I've tried searching but there don't seem to be any guides for the first game around so I thought I'd try my luck here!
As the title says I'm finding this one very difficult. I've gotten to the point where I've broken through to the main Legion forces and they rush in a large group towards me. The groups themselves aren't a problem as I have 3 high level groups myself, the sheer amount of spells that the Legion is able to cast however is totally ridiculous. I'm battered by 6+ each turn which completely wipes out my groups. I can avoid this by hiding in the town, but then I can't advance and claim more land!
Is there a trick to this, as I can't seem to work out how it's possible the enemy just has unlimited resources to cast spells at me. Is using a load of low level parties as a meatshield viable?
Thanks in advance.

There's a few such maps and if memory serves the meatshield works best.
Rather than using them as cover though, keep sending them in alone and don't recruit any troops for the heroes. You will eventually exhaust the mana supply if you keep at it.

Yeah I got it in the end, I just sent wave after wave of thieves at them until they ran out of resources. Took a long time though, pretty boring tactic.
Quick question - does the computer cheat and get parties automatically levelled up? When it sent reinforcements they always had several tier 2-3 units in them and there was no way they could have levelled up that quickly.
Thanks for the help.

In some scenarios, yes. I remember one of the undead scenarios in Disciples was pretty brutal between regular waves of leveled up units handed to the enemy, the computer battering me with spells, and a long open stretch between my towns and the enemy's towns. Something that can also help with avoiding enemy spells is invisibility spells and spells that obscure the map from the enemy, although if memory serves the empire doesn't have much in the way of either of these spells, so if there's not a place to buy them on a map you'll just have to make due with the tactics others have mentioned.
