My army was 40 dragons, 360 archmages, 181 Demons, 240 Knights, 454 Calvary. o followers killed. I killed the demons with my archmage, then froze the vampire and killed it with my second archmage hit. Got lucky on my demon attack and halved the 104 dragons. Then attacked with my knights, Calvary and dragons taken no damage for second, third, and forth attacks. Continued using resurrection on my demon, while attacking the big dragon unit. Once he was dead, I had no one attack the last two dragon units, kept my demons near the two while using resurrection. I left the battle with 0 followers killed. The key is using the resurrection spell. Good luck, guess you posted this 9 years ago.

I reckon 52400 would be the theoretical maximum score but it seems to be
impossible to beat the last two villains without suffering casualities.

In order to offer something useful besides showing off two nice hints:

My winning team against old arech:
-----------------------------------------
About 50 Dragons (general sucking and first punishment absorbing crew)
A clone troop of Giants (never mind their moral, they, too, absorbed
a lot of punishment)
A clone troop of Archmages (First Fireball finished off the demons, second
the vamps)
A clone troop of demons (I HAD a lot of luck with their "half" attack)
A clone troop of elves (great even with morale low)
1 Turn Undead (first battle round) and some Resurrection spells.
In preparation one single Raise Control (Could'nt buy more... I thought
for a long time that each spell is represented in at least one town. But
I was mistaken here)

Desser crossing:
-------------------
It is possible to pass desserts without losing time. Just use a time stop
spell. True, it will lose it's power once you step on the sands, but no
day will be lost. Simply cast another time stop and move on one more step.
Costs you 200GP per step but it saves time on continentia, forestria and
especially saharia.

General strategy:
--------------------
The earlier post about rushing through the continents before exploring them
and returning to continentia with much too much leadership and high end
troops to pester poor Murray is fine. Play the game this way if you do not
mind unbalanced battles.

General Thanks:
-------------------
Good job putting this old jewel on the site! (I myself bought it a long time ago
but I am happy that it is once again possible to get a hold on this game)

Forgot to post. My score was 52,400.
