A couple of work-arounds that I've found that might help some of us get through some of the more difficult battles, FYI...
These work arounds can be set back to original values as needed, however.
(A) You'll need this:

(B) And this:

LOSSES REPLACED
As reported elsewhere, you can get all replacements everytime if you modify a Tweaks.text (to get there, right click on the LA Mithras icon, open the "Contents" folder, open the "Resources" folder, open the "English.lprog" folder, open the "data" folder) line to: LOSSLIMIT 100 (instead of LOSSLIMIT 020
This can be done using TextEdit.
DENARI INCREASED
If you don't want to start over and you have a reasonable amount of troups, you can modify any saved game data (.dat) file to increase denari (these .dat files are found in:Hard Disk/Users/Username/Library/Application Support/Legion Arena/Save Games), as follows (in Current.dat):
(1 Make a copy of your untouched/unmodified Current.dat file, just in case you need to go back to it (or copy any file you are about to modify before using a Hex editor).
(2 Launch Legion Arena Mithras (LA CoM) and record the exact amount of Fame and Denari you have in your current game (the one that comes up automatically).
(3 Close LA CoM.
(3 Using (A) above, convert these two numbers into Hex and make notes of both, keeping track of which is which.
(4 Using (A) above, convert the desired amount of Denari you would like to have, into Hex. Make a note of the Hex number.
(6 Using (B) above, dowload Hex Fiend.
(7 Launch Hex Fiend and from the File Menu, open Current.dat
(8 From the Edit Menu, launch Find.
(9 In the "Search For" field, enter the Hex value for the exact amount of Fame you have (make zero the first entry if your Hex value here is an odd number of digits).
(10 Use the Next button and you most likely will find yourself at a place in the Current.dat file Hex dump right next to your current Hex Denari value (next field) which you will see (as a check) is the same as the Denari Hex value you made note of earlier.
(11 Your task now will be to replace the existing Denari Hex value amount with your desired Denari Hex value amount using Hex Fiend (i.e., making the last four numbers of the field next to the Fame amount field - the Denari field - 27 10 will give you 10,000 Denari).
(12 Using the File Menu in Hex Fiend, Save your new version of Current.dat.
Implementing this work around, the next time you start LA CoM you will notice that your you'll have a whole new Denari budget to work from...
NOTE: Hex editing can be very dangerous and while this approach works with this version of LA CoM on the Mac, it may not work with other versions...
So, please copy any file you are about to edit beforehand so you can always go back to your original unmodified file if you need to...
Hope this helps!
