If you would know there is a MOD that allows you to move your adventure camera further away from target point, you would not go for it?

I would and I was sorry I did not have this MOD from the beginning... there are MODs that REPAIR BUGs for instance... it is handy to have these... so: check the MODS... and decide rather or not use them, but CHECK THEM. My strong advise.

And of course I do not use any MODs in this challenge... not even the camera one... as well I am not using cheats...

LOL behind my score is some serious theorycrafting, and that is the highest possible score without some form of cheating / modding :) So his score will be equal in the best case ...

If I would have level 31, I should get some more points... isn't that right?

That's right but lvl 30 -> lvl 31 is like 1 mln XP, stilll haven't seen someone finishing at 31, simply there aren't enough battles/XP in the game, even if you try to degrade items and suppress as much as possible.

We will see about that.. it also depend on many other factors... like fighting same army on different level may give you either 1500 XP or 60 XP... so I am still optimistic...not to mention I have invested all runes in all three levels of Learning ASAP :)

So was I ...

Ok, for first try not bad: 1713 (I missed 2 quests, I know how and I know how to make them... I was basically to much focusing on time, missing these two) but I have the game saved each few minutes (and it was like 20+ hours of gameplay :) ) so I will redo it...

I finished in day 6, 100 quests, level 30 (1M exp, but still missing 650K for level 31... not even EXP bonus artefacts would help me... still I believe 1,7M exp is possible even on impossible) So now I have to repair my mistakes (2 quests) and spend another 15 hours at PC :)...

I am little bit late (finishing freedom islands, day 3) ) some battles were tough... but not tough enough :)... I am playing impossible a lot, I just never "rushed" for top score (I enjoyed playing the game)... so after weekend I will come and smash Calindas score...muahahahaha... first time I play for score and I like it...

To BAL Hawk:
1. get the FAN MANUAL (translated to ENG, if you can't read russian :) ) - be the fan manual you bible (all spells/atrefacts/skills and rage skills are there)
2. Save a lot (not only QUICKSAVE, but da real save... )
3. Try to experience with army combinations, not to be afraid of morale loss, find the most fitting units for your strategy... by this you will also determine your KB strategy...(if you have a lot of HOMM experience, try to ignore all knowledge you have from HOMM, it messed my playstyle in KB, as there are small, but many differences in logic/units/spells etc.)
4. If you don't go for SCORE (my play style) you may search all areas/ land and sea avoiding overpowering or Impossible enemies and STEAL all free lying stuff. (you can use "catch me" tactic, you provoke enemy stack/army to follow you, you are always faster, so you may MANIPULATE their trajectory. By this you can "take" them out of their places, and if you go far away from them, they will stand there with ??? above their heads for few seconds... and slowly return... you can use this time for stealing them blindly)
5. Do learn all skills of your units, as warrior you lack on spells/mana, but many units have usefull skills, learn them, use them
6. Go for BERSERK spell, it will greatly improve the ATT of your units, is cheap (on mana) and will have much more effect than any damage spell (at least if your INT is below 15)... know that even BERSERK rises with your INT thus :)... this spell will not make your unit to attack your other units... so if you place BERSERK on your archers, the archers will still attack ENEMY (but you can't choose whom) you can combine this with Dragon Arrows, Precision, Bless and get such amount of damage as you would never dream of.
7. Check for MODS

Awesome! I actually played all weekend using your tips. I'm not much of a gamer and am taking it slow. I'm now at level 10 with the warrior. It has been tough not taking leadership, but I've held on.

I've got a question. I just fought the turtle boss and beat him. When I got back to the castle, "guardsman" became available at the knight's temple. What are they good for? Their stats aren't much better than swordsman. Is the morale bonus big? I love my archers (dragon arrows!), and I thought that the morale bonus from guardsman might help them. I just don’t know exactly what it does.

Thanks for the tips Gatts! They really helped!

+1 morale - which translate into 10% increase for Attack and Defense and 125% for performing critical attack - for both swordmans and archers from guardsman's commander talent.
