when I first heard of no-loss impossible quest it really tempted me (my friend told me, as he knew I always play the games on the hardest possible), and I felt like i had to achieve it! and i jumped on it without even reading any forums and utilizing-sharing peoples strategy ideas. I started a paladin 'cos i like a balanced hero, but seems like its not the best choice as I read. the fist time I found my first paladin unit and resurrection spell (yes both in the same place) was not until I fought over 130 no-loss hard won battles with blood and tears (and Zhuangzi I know what its to be married and investing your 8 hrs a day in a game, it could be a pain in the ass
and all about the golden games of past.. (MOO2, Master of magic, star control 2, heroes2-3, romance of the three kingdoms series, starwars x-wing, tie fighter, x-com ufo, jagged alliance2 and unfinished business.. and it goes on.., check out
www.hotud.org for the old games and such. I have a PS2 and 3 and I dont even want to mention my months dedicated into square enix games.. (did anybody say FinalFantasy
being a hardcore gamer I felt like home while reading these threads. after the paladins, it was relatively easy, with the inquisitor's sword I could get 75 paladins, and 120 inquisitors.. but up until now I avoided boss fights, maybe with the addition of paladins in my army, I should give it a try.. my strategy up until now was using target lvl 3 on my dragon, increasing its defence with stone skin, raising them with inquisitors if needed be and wiping them away with my beholders. on though fights I accumulate my rage -either with potion or after a relatively easy fight without using much mana- and lay a mystic egg. it really helps, anything that tanks is more than welcome. my army consists of;
beholders
evil beholders
red dragons
paladins
inquisitors
being a paladin hero, inquisitors and paladins are utitilized at maximum with increased dmg and such.. I also completed the inquisitor set.
one hint that i want to share is about battlefield. İslands consist of parcels of different battlefields. we all know very well that even the tiny obstacle on that battlefield saved our life countless times. when you enter an area the game creates all the battlefields, and place them on island. if you didnt like it, you can exit and enter area again. if not the shape of the battlefield change, the places of the obstacle do.. sometimes you should lure an enemy to better battle grounds on your behalf.. for example you wouldnt want to fight with an undead army in a graveyard if you could.. one great place to fight and win an invincible enemy easily is on dersu island, right in front of the spiders cave. Dont you like those battlefields with only 3 square(they r more like hexagonals I guess) wide path? and if there r some obstacles too its almost only one square for enemy units to pass. there's one lizardmen hero with only melee fighters and only uses phantom spell.. an easy catch.. and you can lure other gusy to this battlefield too.. btw there's this dersu island and uzala island in the game. actually Dersu Uzala is the name of the oscar winning movie filmed by Akira Kurosawa in 1972, original name 'dersou ouzala' akira kurosawa filmed it based on the russian explorer vlademir arseniev's memoirs.. I think this is where the developers of the game inspired. The movie is really moving, I recommend it. anyway thnx for reading ppl, this is my very first entry on this forum.
P.S. I still didnt finish the game
