My first game was an impossible warriors game... I struggled the first 20 levels or so but learned eventually to master it somehow. The first very hard 20 levels made me save before each battle, since replaying an old battle is simply too boring for me. That first playthrough was a 27 day run with loads of cassualties.
2nd game was an impossible no-loss mage game. Again lots of saving because I'm too lazy to replay more than one battle. I just learned to kite maps, which I sincerely regret. I didn't Kite much, but enough to get 2 red Dragons from a Call Colloseus Scroll. Combined with the scanner and the entire challenge was gone. I guess I feared my skills wouldn't cut it without the kiting, but this I never found out.
I tried to beat the game fast, but due to the kiting and several forgotten quests it ended up taking 13 days. My final level was 58. The first 20 levels ARE the most fun part of the game, and after level 30 everything gets easy, so I sincerely regret that I made the challenge of those 20 levels too easy.
If I try my luck in a 3rd game I would properly follow tthe footsteps of those doing a speedrun no-loss game. However it wouldn't be 7 days game, but more likely 9 or 10, and I wouldn't reach lvl 60. I'm simply too impatient to try to reach lvl 60 as it requires alot of reloading with elenhel to get Ancient Knowledge scrolls.
I really wish I could do a 3rd run with lots of casualties, but I don't think I would be able to accept the dead allies.
The author of this thread chose all the right things to make this game most valuable. It's just hard to play like that if you are somewhat of a perfectionist.
