How (where) to hire trolls?
Since Necromancy is broken post-patch apparently (http://steamcommunity.com/app/232050/discussions/0/810923021594233599/), the game is extemely difficult for me when playing a wizard. Particularly because the enemy hires trolls (has 3-4 of them and is completely stomping through the entire shard cleaning up).

In an earlier shard (I'm at around 10 or so in the campaign) I remember being able to hire trolls (I think I did it with my scout). However, this particular shard I'm on, I can't seem to find a way to hire any trolls.

Whenever I go to an area that has trolls (usually ruined towers it seems), there is no dialog before or after for hiring trolls (like there are for other creeps).

So how are trolls hired? Hiring them seem to be the only way possible to beat this particular shard unfortunately, so I'm dependent upon finding them.

Trolls can be found on special events or in special places, like a trolls lairs. You can also build a Palace and hire them as a mercenary (quite expensive, about 100gp per turn).

You need to beat trolls guarding lair (not tower, not ruins, only troll lair) first, and then spare survivors to hire them. There's also labyrinth where you can hire minotaurs, if you're lucky.
Oh, and necromancy isn't broken,starting and hybrid classes can't train skills past level three.

Ty for info re: hiring.

However, as per my explanation in the other thread, it is broken. Even with choosing Necromancer at level 10, I cannot pass level 3 like I did pre-patch. I did it all the time prior to the latest patch, I cannot do it at all now. NOTHING has changed (in my play style or knowledge of the game)...only the patch has changed.

to spare the trolls do you have to lose the battle and let them kill the hero?

As you like - you can win and spare them, or you can lose the battle and again hire them (but I think the second variant is bug)

Okay in that case there might be a bug. I went to a trolls lair and won but after that there was np option to spare them. Then I reloaded and lost the battle and was able to spare them and thus hire a few trolls.

Like it's explained n your other post necromancy is not broken at all. It has always worked like this and this how it is supposed to work. Only foult is that ingame description is not actually very good.
