Sacrifice

• Learn the special abilities of units and take advantage of them during battle. For example, a Druid will use his Life Shield on his own after he takes damage, but he would have come out much better if he entered into the fight with the shield already active.
• Take advantage of CPU allies when your force is small by positioning your creatures near them during battle. They will divert some of the attention away from you, and you can collect the souls of enemy creatures that they kill.

To destroy the Magnifryer with James (if you have followed him at the start), use Troggs. Troggs cannot take magical damage and the Magnifryer's beam is counted as magical.

Notice that the Earth God "James" is a large worm. Naturally, as "James" is the long form of "Jim", this is a reference to Earthworm Jim, published by Shiny, the developers of Sacrifice.

First, summon one or four creatures, then let them die. Hellmouth works best, because it drops five souls. Summon four of them to increase your souls by twenty.

Once you have two or three Manaliths erected, start building shrines at mana fountains as you advance farther from your altar. Sac Doctors can take souls there, reducing the risk of being killed as they make the long trek back to your altar.
